Malcolm Scott Douglas ’69

Mac died of lung cancer on Feb. 26, 2002, in San Antonio. A member of Quadrangle Club and an accomplished fencer, he graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. He came to San Antonio in 1970 to work for Datapoint Corp. Mac was instrumental in the hardware design of the company's mass storage data devices. After working in London, he joined John Frassanito Associates. As a design engineer, he built the first prototype of the MINX system — the first desktop video teleconferencing system integrating video, voice, and data with a computer network. Since 1986, as a consultant, Mac created and implemented custom computer presentation and Web page design.

Computers were his life's vocation and his hobby. He also enjoyed windsurfing, golf, and helping his friends.

He is survived by children Alex, Monica, and Andreas, sister Jean Cadle, and brother Bruce Douglas '55. We extend our sympathy at the loss of this esteemed classmate.
