Long Thompson's husband eyes 1st gentleman's role

If Indiana voters next month select Democratic candidate Jill Long Thompson as the state's first female governor, they'll also see another first.

A first gentleman in Don Thompson, a 56-year-old farmer and airline pilot.

Thompson, who has kept a low profile during his wife's campaign, said he was ready to embrace an active role as first gentleman, although it could take time to get used to that moniker.

He is a former member of the Indiana National Guard and said he would like to focus on issues affecting soldiers and veterans. And he would like to help move the Hoosier mind-set away from traditional energy sources to renewable energy
