Paul Douglas Coverdell was a United States Senator from Georgia and was also the director of the Peace Corps from 1989 until 1991. He was elected for the first time in 1992 and re-elected in 1998. He died while still in the Senate of a cerebral hemorrhage. Coverdell, a Republican, was often described as a quiet, soft-spoken man, but he left profound marks on the governments of both the state of Georgia and the nation in a relatively brief period of time.
