Mcnab, Gordon Greenleaf.

Born in 1906, Gordon Greenleaf Mcnab started in the newspaper business as an apprentice printer in 1919. He graduated from the University of Iowa in 1927, and after stints in Iowa, Minnesota and Alaska, he came to Oregon, where he joined the Oregon Journal staff in Portland in 1937. In 1941 he moved to the Portland office of the Associated Press, and after service in the U.S. Army Air Corps in Aleutian Islands, he continued with the AP until his retirement in 1971. His wife was Molly Thompson, who had been the society editor of the Journal when Mcnab was a reporter on the paper.
