William Fleming Hoggan Jarrett
William "Bill" Fleming Hoggan Jarrett (1928–2011) was a British pathologist.
William "Bill" Fleming Hoggan was born on 2 January 1928 in Glasgow, Scotland. He studied at Lenzie Academy, Glasgow, and at Glasgow Veterinary College. His father, though a joiner and cabinetmaker, came from a farming background and decided to move his family shortly afterwards to an agricultural smallholding near Cumbernauld.
Their early life there no doubt influenced Jarrett, his elder brother Tom and younger brother Oswald to study veterinary medicine. Jarrett graduated from Glasgow Veterinary College with honours in 1947. Attracted to research he opted for a PhD. He continued his training at the College, specialising in animal pathology as well as in human pathology. He worked under Dan Cappell, Professor of Pathology at the Medical School.
Consequently, he had a wide understanding of animal and human diseases. This laid the foundation for his future research in comparative medicine. He also went onto teach at the University of Glasgow and later became a Lecturer at the Glasgow and West of Scotland College of Domestic Science. His achievements began to unfold and during the 1960s he began to make a name for himself in animal pathology through his extensive research and discoveries.
In 1952 Jarrett married Anna Sharp, who was also a Lecturer at the Glasgow and West of Scotland College of Domestic Science. The couple established a home in the countryside north of Glasgow.
Jarrett and Anna had actually known each other since their school days. At the Lenzie Academy they developed a passion for the Scottish countryside, especially for the mountains. Over the years they engaged in sports that carried a certain frisson: mountaineering, skiing, motor rallying and particularly sailing off the west coast of Scotland, France, and Mallorca.
Outside their professional careers the couple relaxed either in the company of one another or with family and friends. Jarrett learnt how to become a talented musician. He played the trumpet, guitar and sang with a Scots and jazz band. Passionate about politics he became a voracious reader. As a bon viveur he knew his malt whiskies. A particular fascination that held him were his memories of having gallantly consumed oysters at the Oyster Bar in New York's Grand Central Station. Oysters counted as one of his favourite relishes.
Jarrett died on 27 August 2011.
