Allan MacDougall Jr. ’41

Body

Allan died of a cerebral hemorrhage Oct. 3, 2004, at UCLA Medical Center.

He prepared at Taft School and then St. Paul's. At Princeton, he majored in economics. He played freshman and JV hockey, was a member of ROTC, completed the CAA Pilot Training Program, and joined Tower Club. Going right into the service, Allan was sent to Fort Sill, Okla., but then transferred to the Transportation Corps and served in the North African and Italian campaigns, being mustered out as a captain in 1946.

After the war, he received an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh while working at People's First National Bank. In 1952, Allan moved to Los Angeles to work in banking, but soon left to start his own business, Community Antenna, which he sold in 1958 to become an E.F. Hutton broker. In the 1960s he wrote the Morning Market Analysis radio program, and in the 1970s hosted a popular television show covering financial news and analysis. A certified financial analyst, Allan left Hutton in 1976 to go with Crowell Leedom as director of research.

Allen is survived by his wife, Marilyn Knight MacDougall; his sons, Allan III, Randall, and Alexander; daughters Loraine Miller and Polly Oliver; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
