Former AFDC Chairman Jean A. McGrew

mcgrewobit.jpg

Jean McGREW 1938 ~ 2008 Jean Allen McGrew was born in Spokane, WA on September 11, 1938 to parents Richard and Jane and was raised with sister Sally in Missoula, MT. Jean graduated from high school in 1956 and began his aeronautical engineering studies at the University of Montana before moving to Seattle to complete his studies at the University of Washington, where he earned his Masters in Aeroelasticity. While living in Seattle, he met and courted another Missoula native: Vicki Migge. They were married in 1962. Upon college graduation, Jean began working at Boeing, but soon moved to Los Angeles to work for Northrop Aviation. In 1963 son John was born. Jean and family settled in Torrance, CA, and had two more children: Carla and Julie. In 1969 Jean accepted a position at McDonnell Douglas in Long Beach, rising to become Director of Airframes which allowed him to travel all over the world. In his spare time, he and Vicki became avid tennis players. He was very involved in the community, repeatedly serving as chairman of the Torrance-South Bay YMCA, and held a position on the Civil Service Commission of the City of Torrance. In 1989 Jean took early retirement from McDonnell Douglas and accepted a position with Boeing in Seattle. Soon after the move, he and Vicki became very involved in boating. They taught courses for the Power Squadron, became members of the Meydenbauer Yacht Club, and lavished time and attention on their cruiser, the "Spy Sea One." Since they spent so much time on their boat, they sold their Kirkland home and purchased a townhouse overlooking Redmond, WA just prior to Jean's retirement from Boeing in 2000. Vicki lost her battle with cancer in 2006 and at that time, Jean moved to Sammamish, WA to be closer to his daughter, Carla, and her family. Jean loved attending Mariner games, Husky games and Thunderbird hockey games. He enjoyed hiking, mathematical challenges, and the company of his many good friends related to tennis at Central Park, Boeing, and boating. Jean was 70 years old when he died peacefully on November 26th with his son, John, by his side. He is survived by his three children, John Allen, Carla Vail and Julie Ann; as well as grandsons, Jacob Berg and Bryson Lapham. A service to honor his life will be held in early January. For more information, please contact Carla Berg at 23306 SE 16th Place, Sammamish, WA 98075.  Published in the NWsource from 11/30/2008 - 12/1/2008

Research, Engineering & Development (R,E&D) Advisory Committee Mr. Jean McGrew

As Director of Preliminary Design and Enabling Technology for the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, Jean McGrew manages the development and transfer to product definition of significant technology advances for BCAG products. He also shares responsibility with the directors of Engineering for the preliminary designs of new and improved airplanes and airplane features. He was named to this position in August 1996.

McGrew joined Boeing Aerospace in 1961, while still an undergraduate at the University of Washington. After receiveing his Masters degree, he went to Northrop Aircraft, where he was a research engineer in structural dynamics and worked on F-5 flutter analysis and testing.

In 1968, McGrew joined Douglas Aircraft in flutter and vibration, subsequently working on all the Douglas airplane programs, as well as numerous advanced design programs. During his 22 years at Douglas, he held a number of supervisory positions in flutter, dynamics, loads and methods- to wit: chief program engineer DC-9/ MD-80, director of Airframe Technologies, director of Airframe Design, and general manager of Product Definition Systems.

McGrew left Douglas and re-joined The Boeing Company in 1989 as chief engineer for Structures. In 1992, he was assigned as deputy chief project engineer for the 737 program and in the following year was named 737 chief project engineer.

McGrew is an Associate Fellow of the AIAA, a Fellow of the Institute for the Advancement of Engineering, and in 1987 received the LA Outstanding Engineer Merit Award for contributions to Aeronautics and Astronautics. In 1989, he received the Engineering Alumnus Achievement Award from the UW.

McGrew has also been an associate editor of the AIAA Journal of Aircraft and a former chairman of the Aerospace Flutter and Dynamics Council. In addition, he served for several years as a visiting instructor, teaching aeroelasticity at the Engineering graduate school of the University of Southern California.
