A Tribute to James “Jimmy Mack” McDowell, WWII Veteran
<p class="p1">There are so many fascinating people in this world — and one of them, an angel named James “Jimmy Mack” McDowell walked into my life and showed me that I should look forward to getting older. Forever young at 90 when I met him, he remained evergreen until he passed away earlier this year, which was a few months after his 99th birthday.</p> <p class="p1">Jimmy was a big band singer during WWII, and subsequently experienced an amazing life filled with fun and entertainment. Jimmy was a renowned broadcaster, both on radio and tv, then became a professional DJ, photographer, and videographer. He built his life around music and kept a pulse on Central Indiana entertainment.</p> <p class="p1">Jimmy and the woman who would become his wife, Peggy, wrote thousands of pages of letters during their engagement while Jimmy was stationed overseas during WWII.</p> <p class="p1">Part of the reason he was a prolific typist, is that he took (4) semesters of typing to graduate from HS in Lincoln, NE. After being drafted, he was stationed at Camp Atterbury. Typing was a highly coveted skill in the Army and Jimmy was stationed with a medical unit, where he would triage incoming patients. He was stationed within the 8th Air Corps in England.</p> <p class="p1">Listen as Jimmy’s daughters, Bonnie McDowell Hinkle and Robin McDowell, and I reminisce about their dad and growing up with “showbiz” parents.</p> <p class="p1">Connect with Kara <a href="https://karakavensky.com/">karakavensky.com</a> @karakavensky on Twitter, FB, IG </p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/karakavenskywriter/">https://www.facebook.com/karakavenskywriter/</a></p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/karakavensky/">https://www.instagram.com/karakavensky/</a> </p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://twitter.com/karakavensky">https://twitter.com/karakavensky</a></p> <p class="p1"> Music by Adam Gibson of Adam Gibson Design Mixing by <a href="https://brassybroad.com/">The Brassy Broadcasting Company</a></p>
