but your answer works well, too
He was a lot of fun! 
But to be fair, we do live north of the Mason-Dixon line (US Rt 30)
There was a time in the 1920s when being seen as a good, upstanding Hoosier meant joining the Ku Klux Klan.

At its peak, the Klan counted among its members the governor of Indiana, more than half of the state legislature and an estimated 30 percent of all native-born white men in the state. More than 250,000 Hoosiers swelled the Klan's ranks – some because they believed in its anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic message, others because being on good terms with the Klan was necessary for their business or political aspirations – making it the largest Klan organization in the country.
By the end of the decade, the Indiana Klan was all but dismantled following the conviction of Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson for the rape and murder of a young school teacher named Madge Oberholtzer.
Subsequent efforts to revive the Klan in the state – efforts that continue to this day – have not succeeded. A September rally by the Klan in Madison, Indiana, saw more opposition come out than support.
The Klan may never see a resurgence in Indiana or elsewhere in the country. But could a group with a similar message of hate find itself controlling Indiana's halls of power once again?
A story of ordinary Hoosiers........

I didn't mention it originally since I was only suppose to name two things about Indiana and I had already went over the two limit. 
My maternal great-grandfather use to haul for Studebaker. He would drive the one and hook the other one up to the one he was hauling.
I was just adding a footnote to your post. 
My parents were big Studebaker aficionados. I'm kind of fond of them, too.
