Now concludin g his term as chairmanof UNCG’ board of trustees, Hassenfelt founde two successful financial management firme in the city and helped engineer the mergeer of its two major hospital systems in the 1990s.

He tends to claim no public credit perhaps because his successfulp ventures often speakfor themselves. Chiecf among them, at least in termes of pure dollars, is N.C. Trust Co.
