Mr. William J. Jarrett
Mr. William J. Jarrett was born in Marvel, Arkansas on August 2, 1924 and received his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Hartford and an MBA from Western New England College. He began his federal career in 1951 as a mechanical engineer technician at Springfield Armory, and retired 44 years later at Watervliet Arsenal as a GM-14 Supervisory General Engineer.
His entire professional life, including a brief (1968-1971) period in private industry as Manager of Applied Research and Testing for Colt Firearms, was spent at Springfield and Watervliet Arsenals in the development of light and heavy ordnance. He holds two patents, one for a noise-reducer attachment for the muzzle end of a firearm, and the other a cartridge in which the propellant was retained in place by a frangible plastic material designed to provide a shaped charge effect against the rear of the projectile. Mr. Jarrett transferred the legal right to both patents to the nation more than 35 years ago.

JARRETT, William P.
Known alternately as “Big Bill,” “Silent Bill,” and “Quiet Bill” to his constituents, soft-spoken William (Bill) Paul Jarrett became the first Democratic Delegate from Hawaii in the U.S. Congress. Elected in 1923, he devoted his time in the House to securing more autonomy and infrastructure for the Hawaiian Islands. A low-key, but productive, legislator, Bill Jarrett sponsored several bills during his tenure that sailed to passage. One of a handful of prominent Hawaiian Democrats, Jarrett lost re-election to a third term in 1926 to one of the islands’ rising Republican stars.
William P. Jarrett was born on August 22, 1877, in Honolulu, in the Kingdom of Hawaii, to William Haalilio Jarrett and Emma Kaoo Stevens Jarrett. His father worked as a mechanic and foreman for the public works department and served as superintendent of the wharves in Honolulu.1 The younger Jarrett received his education at the Saint Louis preparatory school in Honolulu before pursuing a career in law enforcement. In 1908 Jarrett married Mary H. K. Clark, with whom he had six childre

William Fleming Hoggan Jarrett
British veterinary pathologist (1928–2011)
William "Bill" Fleming Hoggan Jarrett (1928–2011) was a British pathologist.
Personal life
Bill was born on 2 January 1928 in Glasgow. He studied at Lenzie Academy, Glasgow, and Glasgow Veterinary College.[1] His father, though a joiner and cabinetmaker, came from a farming background and moved his family shortly afterwards to an agricultural smallholding near Cumbernauld. Their early life there no doubt influenced Bill, his elder brother Tom and younger brother Oswald to study veterinary medicine. Bill graduated from Glasgow Veterinary College with honours in 1947 and then, already attracted to research, studied for a PhD, training in animal pathology at the College and in human pathology with Dan Cappell, Professor of Pathology at the Medical School. Consequently, he had a wide understanding of animal and human diseases which laid the foundation for his future research in comparative medicine.
He taught at the University of Glasgow. In 1952 Bill married Anna Sharp, then a Lectu
