William O. Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William O. Hall (1914-1977) was the U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia from 1967 to 1971, during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie I.
Ambassador Hall's widow, Jayne Bowerman Hall, has donated numerous pieces of Ethiopian artwork to the University of Oregon Museum of Natural History. Most of the museum's Ethiopian Collection, consisting of nearly 100 objects, was acquired through a gift by Jayne Bowerman Hall as a tribute to her late husband. Jayne Bowerman Hall happens to be the half-sister of University of Oregon track coach and Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman.
