Taddy Aycock

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Clarence C. "Taddy" Aycock (January 13, 1915 January 6, 1987), a conservative Democrat from Franklin in St. Mary Parish, was the only three-term lieutenant governor in modern Louisiana history. He served from 1960 to 1972. Aycock failed in his only bid for governor in the 1971 Democratic primary. Few lieutenant governors in Louisiana have been elected directly to the governorship; former Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Lafayette, is a prominent exception. Aycock was born in Franklin to Clarence A. Aycock (1885 1948) and the former Inez Crask. He received his law degree in 1937 from Loyola University in New Orleans and launched his law practice in Franklin. He won the Bronze Star while serving in Europe during World War II. In 1945, Aycock married the former Elaine Champagne (born 1918). They had six children.
