Farewell, Lady Bird

Living in Austin, we heard within minutes when Lady Bird passed (4:18 p.m., Wednesday, July 11, 2007, at age 94).

She was a true and gracious Texas lady, devoted to her state, its natural beauty, the beauty of our country, and LBJ.  (Not necessarily in that order.)   She managed, while being the quintessential political wife, to somehow transcend politics.  She'll be missed, even by many who never met her; somehow I thought she'd be here forever, sort of like the state capitol and the UT Tower.  

Farewell, Lady Bird.  We'll plant wildflowers in your memory.

Teri, I honestly can't imagine anything she'd prefer more.  She was into ecology when ecology wasn't cool.  I heard her talking on the news tonight about how she had 4 "progeny' - her great-grandchildren - and she wanted them to have the opportunity to experience nature the way she had.

I don't know much about her. But PBS did a special on Texas and she was on it - it was all about wild flowers.

She was a great lady.  It really is the end of an era.

Lady Bird was a wonderful First Lady, and great woman!
