Sidney McCrory
Sidney Jackson McCrory (July 27, 1911 – February 27, 1985)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sidney Jackson McCrory )〕 was the Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry from 1956 to 1960 during the final term of his political ally, Governor Earl Kemp Long. He was also a key organizer in 1960 for the John F. Kennedy/Lyndon B. Johnson ticket, which handily carried Louisiana's then ten electoral votes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=W. C. Abbott, Jr., "A barefoot boy from Home Villa had a hand in history" )〕
==Background==
McCrory was one of six children born in the village of Hope Villa on Bayou Manchac in Ascension Parish near Baton Rouge to the former Estelle Buffington Buillon and Cecil C. McCrory (1880-1944), a cotton farmer and a graduate of Louisiana State University with degrees in both mechanical and electrical engineering. Cecil McCrory served as adjutant general of the Louisiana National Guard, which he worked to reorganize during the administration of Governor Ruffin G. Pleasant from 1916 to 1920. Cecil McCrory was the head of the national draft system during World War I. In 1927, he became county agent in Caldwell Parish south of Monroe and transferred to Caddo Parish, where in Shreveport, he was the agent for fifteen years before he returned to his farm at Hope Villa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cecil C. McCrory )〕
Sidney McCrory, whose middle name "Jackson" comes from his paternal grandfather, finished LSU with a degree in entomology. Before he was elected agriculture commissioner, he had been the state entomologist and considered himself particularly well versed in the science of insects.〔 McCrory married the former Nettie Fay Cooper (c. 1919-2008), a schoolteacher in East Baton Rouge Parish, a native of Merryville in Beauregard Parish, and the daughter of Mars LeRoy Cooper and Laura Elvira Cooper. The McCrorys had two daughters, Sandra M. Lang and husband, Craig, and Sharon M. Balser.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nettie Faye McCrory )〕
One of McCrory's sisters, Cherrie Claire, married J. L. Iles, who during World War II was stationed in the Solomon Islands, where he was for a time a roommate of John F. Kennedy. The two were PT boat commanders. Their friendship continued after the war when both attended for several years the annual reunion of their military group in New York City. Sidney McCrory hence endorsed Kennedy when he ran for president, escorted him around the state, and made speeches on Kennedy's behalf. According to Mrs. McCrory, Sidney McCrory worked to have Kennedy named king of the annual International Rice Festival in Crowley, where as a U.S. senator in 1960, he addressed a crowd estimated at 100,000.〔 Also promoting Kennedy in Louisiana was Judge Edmund Reggie of Crowley, whose daughter was later the second wife of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, John Kennedy's younger brother.〔
