LOVELL Ron Lovell, professor emeritus of journalism, writer and mentor to many, died on March 26 in Gleneden Beach, Oregon. He was 87. Lovell’s Oregon State University career lasted nearly 25 years. During that time, he helped launch the careers of dozens of notable journalists, encouraging and advising many of them for the rest of his days. In retirement, he volunteered as a teacher of English for Oceana Family Literacy and wrote two series of mystery books, including one featuring a private investigator and former journalism professor at a college closely resembling OSU. He also served as informal chair of the inaugural Oregon Stater Advisory Council, helping shape the pages of this magazine. He is predeceased by his mother, father and grandmother, with whom he lived for many years, and is survived by cousins Edwin and Richard Lawrence.
