Robust, 177-Pound Governor Egan
Recalls Horrible January Crisis
JUNEAU, UPI — William A.
Egan, a man to whom an ideal
dinner consists of fried round
steak and any kind of potatoes,
came out of a near fatal illness
with a craving for grapefruit
and bacon.
“I never liked bacon before,”
says Egan, the 45-year-old first
Governor of Alaska, “but I can’t
get enough of it now.”
It all started earlier this year
as the Democratic Chief Execu
tive rallied from a series of four
major operations in a long bout
that he almost lost.
“At the hospital in Seattle,” the
well-fed Egan now recalls, “they
would bring me grapefruit, bacon
and a boiled egg for breakfast. I
wouldn’t eat the egg, but I got
started on the other two and can’t
seem to stop.”
Egan underwent the first of his
series of operations a year ago,
to clear up a relatively minor
complaint that plagued him dur
ing his successful campaign in
1958.
While recuperating, he was
stricken by the gall stone attack,
and re-entered the hospital with
in hours after he was sworn into
office on last January 3, the day
Alaska became the 49th State.
The second operation followed
here the next week, but after com
plications dveloped he was flown
to Seattle for an emergency oper
atibn at Virginia Mason Hospital
January 19.
Dr. Joel W. Baker, the hospital’s
chief surgeon who headed the
team which performed the oper
ation, said at the time Egan had
only “a desperate chance to get
well.”
Somehow he recovered, but it
was a weak and still ailing Gov
ernor who climbed on the hospital
soales in February and was
shocked to see his weight waver
at something under 115 pbunds.
The Governor had boosted his
weight to 129 pounds when he
returned to Juneau in April to
meet for the first time with the
First State Legislature, in session
since January.
He returned to Seattle in May
for the last operation, to clear up
remaining surgery that he was
too weak to undergo during the
emergency batle to save his life.
“They told me I’m wired for
sound,” Egan says, patting ab
dominal muscles still supported
by a steel grid “that is part of me
now for good.” The wiring,
stitched in as part of the final
surgery, bothered him a bit at
first, but is no longer noticeable,
Egan says,
His present weight, the 5-foot
71/2 inch Governor reluctantly ad
mits, is “about 177 pounds — Dr.
Baker probably would faint if he
knew.”
He now eats practically any
thing — “particularly bacon,
crisp” — but no longer enjoys
pork chops, Egan says. “I don’t
know why — pork chops used to
be a favoritq, but they just don’t
apeal anymore.”
Egan puts in a full week as
Governor. He estimates the av
erage work day is 1ft hours long,
including a couple of hours at the
office at night and four or five
on Saturdays and Sundays.
His state travels have carried
him from Ketchikan to Nome in
the last six months.
He has been out of Alaska three
times since resuming his duties —
but mostly he sticks close to his
desk.— and confesses.he doesn’t
get enough exercise, now limited
mostly to “walking to and from
work.
“I should get downtown more
often,” he says. “It would be good
exercise climbing the hill to the
capitol.”
Mrs. Egan bought her husband
a vibrating exercise couch in
hopes he would use it at home to
loosen up a bit while he relaxed.
“I tried it once,” Egan smiles.
“That was enough.”
