That's right. Fellow Hoosier, Hoagy Carmichael, was largely how Ian Fleming, pictured James Bond. My mother met Mr. Carmichael. Her shorthand teacher, during high school, was engaged to HC. Mother told me that Carmichael's photos did not, do him justice. She found him to be dashing and energetic. From what she heard later, Mr. Carmichael was daring and impetuous, as well.
