Jack Montgomery (Louisiana politician)
John Willard Montgomery, Sr., known as Jack Montgomery (born June 2, 1936), is a retired attorney in the small city of Minden in Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana, who represented the 36th District in the Louisiana State Senate (Bienville, Bossier, Claiborne, and Webster parishes) for a single four-year term from 1968 to 1972. He unseated incumbent Harold Montgomery (no relation) of Doyline in south Webster Parish in the 1967 Democratic runoff election. Four years later, the conservative Harold Montgomery staged a comeback and narrowly defeated Jack Montgomery, who did not again seek any elected office.
==Early years and education==
Montgomery was one of five children born to a Springhill couple, Earl W. Montgomery, an employee of International Paper Company, the major employer in northern Webster Parish, and the former Berniece McLeod (1908–2008). His mother was originally from Hamburg in southern Arkansas.〔Obituary of Berniece McLeod Montgomery, ''Minden Press-Herald'', September 29, 2008〕 He grew up in the Pine Hills subdivision in Springhill. He played on the 1953 state championship Springhill High School football team. John David Crow, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1957 at Texas A&M University and then had a ten-year professional career with the Chicago and St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers, lived next door to Montgomery and also played on the 1953 championship team. Montgomery's father played on the Bastrop High School championship team in Bastrop in Morehouse Parish in 1927, and Montgomery's son, John, Jr. (born 1963), played football for Minden High School but graduated the year before the team won the state championship in 1982.
Montgomery entered Tulane University in New Orleans on an athletic scholarship. He was a three-year, two-way starter on the football team and in his senior year was the Green Wave team captain. He was the deputy wing commander of the United States Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps at Tulane. He considered becoming an Air Force pilot but was discouraged when told that the enlistment would be five years, rather than three.〔 He hence procured his law degree from Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge. He did join the Air Force and spent three years in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. When his tour of duty ended, he returned to his hometown and entered private practice with Roy Fish. He later relocated the practice to Minden in 1972 because it had a more diversified economy than did Springhill.〔〔''Minden Press-Herald'', December 14, 1967, p. 2〕
