Kenneth Hooker Jr., longtime editor of New England Business Magazine, died June 20 at the age of 79.
He was also a business editor at The Hartford Courant.
A Courant story states, “Hooker’s ex-wife, Elaine Jackson, said Wednesday that she recalled both were hired at The Courant in September 1969.
“‘He got obits and was envious that I got a beat, covering Wethersfield. He went on to general assignment and courts, then was business editor for several years before leaving to become editor of New England Business magazine, I believe in 1981,’ she said. ‘I joined the AP in Hartford in 1974 and then worked at the AP in Boston when we moved.’
“Jackson said Hooker ‘was a tireless and well respected court reporter and business editor. One person he mentored, David Wessel, went on to have an illustrious career at The Wall Street Journal.'”
