  1. I enjoyed the romp through some of Georgia's colorful political history, but was disappointed you did not mention what happened in the Lt Gov race. With Melvin Thompson seated as governor, a special election was held for Lt Gov and our family's good friend and neighbor, Brig Gen Marvin Griffin (Adjutant General of the Georgia National Guard), was elected. Marvin later became governor of the state from 1955-59. He was quite a colorful character who was well liked by all. Where the characters Senators Snort and Beauregard Claghorn only existed in fiction, Marvin Griffin existed in real life almost as their counterparts.
