/* Bob Sikes Public Library Office and Collection *\
/*Crestview is proud of its native son, Robert L. Sikes, who rode herd on Panhandle interests from his position as U.S. Congressman for thirty-eight years. Sikes was a folksy politician–a good-ole-boy, if you will. Because he liked to compare himself to a male raccoon on the hunt, he took the nickname: He-Coon. His amazing longevity enabled him to secure the powerful chairmanship of the military construction subcommittee. Any appropriation that had the slightest chance of helping his district, which ran from Pensacola to just east of Tallahassee, was fair game to the He-Coon.
