Biographical Note
Tom McCall (1913-1983) was born in Egypt, Mass., to Henry McCall and
Dorothy Lawson McCall, who moved to Portland in 1909 and soon after to a ranch
near Prineville on the Crooked River in central Oregon. McCall was graduated
from the University of Oregon with a degree in journalism in 1936. He started
his career in journalism at the Moscow, Idaho,
News Review and subsequently worked at
The Oregonian and for KGW radio in Portland.
McCall served in the U.S. Navy from 1944 to January 1946 as a war
correspondent.
McCall was married to Audrey Owen in 1939, and they had two sons,
Thomas, Jr. (Tad), born in 1944, and Samuel, born in 1949. After his war
service, McCall returned to Portland, where he hosted a nightly radio talk show
on KEX. He continued to work in broadcasting until 1964, using his work as a
way to keep in touch with public issues and as a forum for his own ideas.
McCall started his political career by joining the Young Republicans. He came
to the attention of Gov. Douglas McKay, who hired him as an assistant in 1949,
a position he held until 1952. McCall ran for a U.S. Senate seat in 1954,
losing to Edith Green. He ran for Oregon Secretary of State and won, serving
from 1965 to1967.
McCall then served two terms as Governor of Oregon (1967-1975). He was a
popular governor, largely because of his attention to public concerns and his
determination to preserve quality of life in Oregon for future generations. He
was best known for promoting the nation's first Bottle Bill, cleaning up rivers
by controlling industrial pollution, promoting land use controls, and zoning
beach areas to preserve public access. McCall also made famous the quote,
"Visit, But Don't Stay," a catchphrase intended to keep Oregon's growth at a
moderate pace. His words backfired, however, and Oregon population grew rapidly
during his two terms.
After leaving the governor's office in January 1975, he returned to KATU
television in Portland as a news analyst and traveled around the nation
supporting bottle bills in other states. In 1978, he tried once again for the
governor's office but lost the Republican primary to Victor Atiyeh. McCall died
in 1983.
Images in this collection document the family of Tom Lawson McCall
(1913-1983) and his career in journalism, radio and television broadcasting,
politics, and the Oregon state government, most notably his two terms as
Governor, 1966-1975. In addition to photographs of McCall, the collection
includes images of his wife, Audrey, and various family members, including his
parents, Samuel W. and Dorothy Lawson McCall, among others; and numerous local,
state, and national politicians and government officials, including but not
limited to Victor Atiyeh, Neil Goldschmidt, Edith Green, Mark O. Hatfield,
Douglas McKay, Wayne Morse, Richard Neuberger, Bob Packwood, Oswald West, and
Wendell William Wyatt.
In addition to photographs that came from Tom and Audrey McCall, the
collection includes images from the
Oregon Journal collection and others that
were made for the biography,
Fire at Eden's Gate, published by the Oregon
Historical Society Press. The
Oregon Journal photographs are identifiable
by the newsprint captions attached to the verso, and the photographs from the
book are marked "FAEG" on the verso. Photographers represented in this
collection include Allen J. DeLay, Frank L. Allman, Alfred A. Monner, Nick
Mills, and Carl E. Vermilya, among many others.
The photographs in the collection range from small black-and-white and
color snapshots to oversize mounted and framed images or collages. Most of the
photographs are loose, individual items, but the collection also includes seven
albums assembled for various governors' conferences that Tom and Audrey McCall
attended or hosted, as well as a few negatives and slides.

- Series A: Family and Personal Images, 1905-1982
