Theodore A. Driscoll III

Theodore A. Driscoll III began his career with the Hartford Courant in 1965 as a city hall reporter. After many years on that beat he went on to become the paper's first full-time investigative reporter.

He covered a broad range of topics, but his investigation on widespread corruption in the jai-alai industry in the late 1970s was his most significant work.

Driscoll was born in Westport, attended Colby College in Waterville, Maine, and was graduated from the University of Connecticut. In 1975 Driscoll helped found Investigate Reporters and Editors Inc. He died Dec.21, 1988 at the age of 50.
