“Hoosiers bring you up good and never let you down. They instill a warm confi¬ dence, a realistic viewpoint, a homespun humor . . . all of which seem to make life a little more understandable and a little easier in later associations with others. I guess that’s why they all seem to get along pretty well in this here old world.” —Hoagy Carmichael “I welcome the opportunity to say how much I cherish my Hoosier roots. My friends accuse me of waving (figuratively speaking) an Indiana flag at the slightest provo¬ cation, and I happily admit the justice of their accusation. I count as one of the most fortuitous that could befall anyone, the accident that I was born in Muncie, Indiana.” —Emily Kimbrough “Although Minton’s heritage included little of the goods of this world, he derived from his parents, both of whom were of early Indiana pioneer stock, ambition, high character, rugged determination, and love of the conflict and conquest that is life; and in the four-room frame cottage, in which he was born and reared, he first felt the mighty force of his Heredity. Sherman Minton, Son of Indiana, is every inch a man!” —Kurt F.
