Back Home in Indiana: Fairmount

A bit of history. Some call Fairmount a "One Trick Pony" - James Dean. James Dean, famed actor, was raised in Fairmount. Dean graduated from Fairmount High School and is buried in Park Cemetery in Fairmount. However, Jim Davis, cartoonist of the comic strip Garfield, was also raised in Fairmount. Davis graduated from Fairmount High School in 1963. So, perhaps, Fairmount is a two trick pony. (click on image to enlarge)
