context_section_description: When the war ended, one of Whitcomb's hobbies was to continue to write poetry. He once said: 
  My chief and most ingrowing hobby is writing poetry-not free verse, mark you, for I have my hair cut at proper intervals and wear a regular tie. I do not frequent "Bohemian" places either. I don't need to cover up my art under dirt.
   One of his first publications were editorials and poems written for the weekly Holabird Spark and poems for the Seattle Town Crier a weekly paper.
