This one may be impossible to answer, however I can highlight very creative people: Levi Eads, one of redwall LIVE's own has been quite impressive with thought and development of very compelling campaigns for our experiential marketing firm. However to steer away from what is almost self promotion, I would like to highlight David Mark, the mastermind behind The Hungry Brick, a very interesting Idea that is strong in purpose as well as marketing value. I anticipate anyone that has a picture of themselves as a kid for their profile is either very creative or just happens to be kind of ugly now. I don't really know which one it is, but I have a guess...

There is a local author by the name of Linden Swift that no one has ever heard of and had one of the most creative minds I know.

He's a modern day Mark Twain.

Eeeep!! Speaking as a true inspellarate (cf. inumerate), I need to ask if the mis-spelling of two key words in the subject line of the query are deliberate or not...

"Subject: On Smaller Indiana: Seraching for the crative class..."

As far as the question goes, I think it would be very hard to identify only *one* most creative person. There are business people, writers, artists, athletes, lawyers, journalists, musicians, community organisers...

But the discussion should be interesting!

Sorry Brigid...I should avoid sending messages late at night...I'm a terrible proof reader anyway, but when it's late my brain turns off...I need to be more careful about that.

Plus, I know how to spell "creative."

You are indeed creative, Taylor. I on the other hand, and a creative speller :-)

"Pity the man [sic] who can spell a word only one way." Variously attributed to Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, and others.

My wife, Pat Wachtel. She is Executive Director for Girls, Inc. a youth serving non-profit. She is leading her staff in rewriting the book on how to reach at-risk youth.
Based on the reaction of funders and Foundations, I am not alone in my thinking.
It's vital work. Many of these children only have one parent that is working and Girls, Inc and their volunteers carry many important messages to the girls they serve. Messages they many times do not otherwise get.
Their change was (very simply put), instead of having clubs. to do outreach and offer programs in schools. They reach 10x's the number of girls they used to.
If you lose them as kids they will never be productive adults. Children are our most important asset.

I second that! I can't think of anyone who has done more in this town in recent years to harness and move forward the energy of the creative class. Thank you Pat for your vision and hard work!!

I would say Pam Blevins Hinkle, the creative leader of the Indianapolis Womens Chorus and the Spirit & Place Festival.
