Lady Bird Johnson – 94 years of a wonderful life
Since we live in Austin, Texas we have probably experienced the great touch of Lady Bird more so than any other city. She brought the Wildflower Center to life and helped manage the construction of the LBJ Presidential Library among other things. Many well known political figures including the Clintons, the Carters, Laura & Barbara Bush, and Nancy Reagan are here today at Riverbend Church to pay their respects. She was the first First Lady to have a press secretary and used her role as First Lady to actively help others. I never had the honor of meeting Lady Bird, but I did have the honor of meeting her former well-known press secretary, Liz Carpenter.
I hope I’m able to make as significant a difference in the world as she has.
