Sunday, October 28, 1979 NORTHEAST-7 McQuinn adds 'drive' to fund drive mtemmm mtuum hww Is I'jt The trail leading McQuinn to his work at Christ United Methodist Church and his psychiatric practice has been an interesting one. McQuinn was 11 when he determined he would follow a medical career. His family was then running a small grocery store in a black section of Greenwood. A neighborhood child hurt his shoulder in an accident, and McQuinn dressed the wound and helped his friend get well. From then on, Bill McQuinn was certain he would be a doctor.

After the Navy, McQuinn was approached by a group of Delta planters who wanted him to come to Glendora and set up a clinic there. McQuinn decided it was a good idea and he and his wife, Martha Jane, moved to Glendora and were swept into Delta social life. Then along came a traveling Methodist evangelist by the name of Joe Kennedy, and Kennedy's visit to Glendora changed everything for the McQuinns. McQuinn said that in 19S7 he and his wife experienced a gradual religious conversion under the direction of the Rev. Joe Kennedy.

"We both felt that if we continued with the social life we were then involved in, it would carry us to a destiny we did not want," he said. Also with the evangelist Kennedy, Bill McQuinn began working with alcoholics and founded Clinic Farthest Out. They found jobs in stores and filling stations to help down-and-out alcoholics, and some not-so- down-and-out-alcoholics. McQuinn claims a prominent Jackson businessman as one of the major success stories from the clinic. The clinic no longer exists and Joe Kennedy is now somewhere out West, but it was this whole experience that led McQuinn to choose psychiatry.

McQuinn, who attended the University of Mississippi Medical School, obtained a degree in general psychiatry in 1962, and he has been in private practice since. McQuinn said he believes that a minister and a psychiatrist can work well as a team, but that they should never get their roles confused. "I Would not evangelize as a psychiatrist," he said. "I would not degrade anything a person reveals about his own personal values." McQuinn's chairmanship of the current building fund drive is one of a string of civic achievements. He was one of the incorporators of both Doctors Hospital and Riverside Hospital and also a charter member and founder of a church he attended during his residency in Gulf port.

He is also on the national board of Project Concern International, an organization based in San Diego which provides medical relief and skills in underdeveloped parts of the world. The McQuinns are the parents of three boys and a girl. The family lives on Hideaway Place. By CHARLOTTE HAYS FOCUS Writer The year was 1941 the year the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, and young men everywhere In America suddenly faced an uncertain future. Bill McQuinn, now a Northeast Jackson resi-, dent, was just a 14-year-old Greenwood boy, and 14 seemed a little early to begin giving serious thought to the future.

But young McQuinn did everything early, and Pearl Harbor inspired him to get through school as fast as be could. "I wanted to get as far along as possible before being required to do anything not of my own volition," McQuinn recalled. The result of McQuinn's resolution was a fast-paced academic career that would have left a less self-possessed young man in a tailspin: Tu-lane freshman at 16 and a graduate of Tulane Medical School at 21. McQuinn became a Navy physician in Washington, D.C., and later in San Juan and was discharged a lieutenant in 1952. McQuinn, now a Jackson psychiatrist, brings this same attitude of self-confidence and tough-mindedness to his new role as general chairman of the Christ United Methodist Church Stewardship Crusade, which includes a $1.2 million building program.

When raised, the money is to go toward a new church to be built near the present church on Old Canton Road. Staff photo Dr. Bill McQuinn Plans made for Harvest Tour of Horned Christmas parade deadline is Nov. 13 vey and the National Defense report was given by Mrs. Hilliard.
