W. George Bowdon, Jr. : ウィキペディア英語版
W. George Bowdon, Jr.

William George Bowdon, Jr., (October 18, 1921 – November 17, 2005), was from 1953 to 1969 the Democratic mayor of his native Alexandria, the largest city in Central Louisiana. At thirty-one, he was (and remains) the youngest mayor in his city's history and the first to serve a four-year, instead of the previous two-year term.
Prior to his mayoralty, Bowdon had filled a single term in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1948 to 1952. He succeeded Carl B. Close and C. H. "Sammy" Downs and served alongside Lawrence T. Fuglaar and T. C. Brister, a hardware store owner in Pineville, Louisiana.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812-2016 )〕 Bowdon was the youngest person to hold the representative's position in Rapides Parish. One of his immediate House successors, Cecil R. Blair, later served for fourteen years in the Louisiana State Senate from Rapides Parish.〔
==Background==

In 1939, Bowdon graduated from Bolton High School in Alexandria; among his classmates were Joe D. Smith, Jr., later publisher of the ''Alexandria Daily Town Talk'' and the industrialist and philanthropist Roy O. Martin, Jr. Bowdon thereafter attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, then known as Southwestern Louisiana Institute. He graduated, however, with a degree in government from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. After graduation, the 6'4", 210-pound Bowdon immediately joined the United States Marine Corps, with training at Parris Island, South Carolina, and served in the Pacific Theater of Operations in World War II, with duties in Saipan and Tinian. He was discharged with the rank of captain.〔Fritz Hardsdorff, "Bowdon Points to 13-Year Record of Civic Service", ''New Orleans Times-Picayune'', November 29, 1959〕
