W&M Team

Despite the fact JACK McDOWELL died at the age of 84, leaving behind a loving family and adoring colleagues, he is still very much with us. Jack set a standard for excellence, accuracy and honesty that permeates everything at W&M. A story on the new process of donating blood that followed a pint of his own and that of others into the Pacific Theater in World War II won Jack the Pulitzer Prize while reporting for the now-defunct San Francisco Call-Bulletin. For years, while working as political editor and columnist for the San Francisco Examiner, Jack was widely regarded as the dean of the capitol press corps. After serving as news director on a successful gubernatorial campaign, Jack joined Dick to form W&M in 1971. Jack had an unwavering standard of what’s right, an amazing ability at tutelage, an enormous heart, a tremendous sense of humor and an Irish twinkle in his eye. In case you haven’t noticed, we miss him.
