- Edgar Doud Whitcomb, a veteran and escaped prisoner of war during World War II, he returned to the United States an became and attorney and the 43rd Governor of Indiana. His term as governor began a major rift in the Indiana Republican Party as urban Republicans became more numerous then rural Republicans, leading to a shift in the priorities of the party leadership. Whitcomb found himself opposed by speaker of the house Otis R. Bowen on a number of measures and for control of the party leadership. Despite his opposition, Whitcomb was able to increase tax revenue by 8% without raising tax rates through improved collection and auditing techniques, created a panel of business leaders to recommend governmental reforms aimed at increasing efficiency that allow the state to reduce its workforce by 10%, and fought for a number of budgetary saving measures primarily through reducing state employee wages and spending in non essential areas. After leaving office, Whitcomb divorced from his wife of thirty-six years and took up sail boating. He sailed around the Mediterranean Sea, across the Atlantic Ocean in 1990, and attempted to sail around the world in 1995, but his ship sank after striking a reef in the Gulf of Suez. Returning to Indiana, he moved to a secluded log cabin on the banks of the Ohio River within the Hoosier National Forest near Rome, Indiana. In his last public interview during 2004, he told a reporter that he no longer reads or listens to the news and that he is “living in heaven. ”
