Jack Bowden, a former Baltimore news anchor and reporter at WMAR-TV for more than two decades, died Jan. 20 at a hospice facility in Towson, Maryland. He was 82.

Many of us remember Jack for his dedicated service in fighting for a law to prohibit non-compete clauses in the state of Maryland for all broadcasters. Unfortunately, this provision failed in Maryland following passage in Washington, D.C. Jack will always be remembered for walking the halls on behalf of all journalists. We will miss him dearly.
