     Marcia Lynn Bahr sits on the lawn of the Vigo County Historical Society reading a biography about former Indiana Governor Noah Noble. While Governor; Mr. Noble ran in the Senatorial race of 1836. His opponent; Mr. Oliver Smith, described Noble as, “tall and slim.” Marcia pauses and softly smiles at Thorn an Irish wolfhound that she often describes as “noble, tall, and slim.” Thorn intently listens, seemingly understanding Marcia’s comparison.
