Lady Bird Johnson Dies at 94

Lady Bird Johnson has always been one of my favorite Texans. She always projected a refined charm yet managed to feel like just one of us. The former first lady was a tenacious crusader for conservation and single handedly brought the bluebonnet back to the roads and highways of Texas.

She died at her home in Austin. Lady Bird was 94 and was active even after a stroke in 2002. She will always be remembered here in Texas and throughout the country. I suspect she and Molly Ivins are having iced tea with Ann Richards and smiling down at the wildflowers that are so prolific this spring.
