Indiana Trooper Vance Handles Governor Branigin’s Car Rides
Trooper Ron Vance, a September 1964 Indiana State Police recruit, serves as the governor’s limousine chauffeur. He carries trooper rank, was assigned to Versailles, and trained at the FBI Academy in 1963. Vance notes brief official talk in car, belt use, and trains rather than flying for out of state trips. The governor travels statewide by car in a Lincoln Continental, costing about six hundred dollars yearly. Vance says the job lets him be home at night and that Branigin is a fine governor.
