John K. Snyder
John Kenneth Snyder, Sr., sometimes known as Tillie Snyder (August 29, 1922 – January 11, 1993), was a colorful, outspoken Democratic mayor of Alexandria, Louisiana, from 1973 to 1977 and again from 1982 to 1986.
Snyder was an admirer of the late Governor Earl Kemp Long, after whom he claimed to model his quixotic political practice. A tall, physically large man, "the good" Snyder smoked cigars, was soft-spoken, and remained relaxed and accommodating. However, "the bad" Snyder had a temper that could snap quickly, at which point he might say or do practically anything. Even popular Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards, who was in office in Baton Rouge for seven of the eight years that Snyder was mayor in Alexandria, was said to have feared Snyder's unpredictability.
==Early life and education==
Snyder was born in Pineville, across the Red River from Alexandria, to Joseph Z. "Joe" Snyder (1886–1971), originally from La Salle Parish, and the former Eva Spotten (1891–1980), a Pineville native. He grew up on Lakeview Street about a block from Fred Baden, who served as mayor of Pineville during the time that Snyder headed the Alexandria municipal government.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jodi Belgard, "John Snyder seemed to relish controversy" )〕 As a child, Snyder was given the nickname "Tillie" because he liked to play the game "Tiddly-Winks". He graduated in 1940 from Bolton High School, prior to the establishment in 1952 of Pineville High School. He was a naval aviation cadet during World War II. He attended Georgia Tech in Atlanta but did not graduate. He was a speech writer for political candidates in Louisiana and neighboring states. He also maintained farming operations.
