The passing of Lady Bird Johnson earlier in the week marks the passing of an icon.
Her death means that last of the true anti segregationist liberal Democrats from Texas aligned with Sam Rayburn, Alan Shivers, and Henry B. Gonzales has passed away and that the Texas has experienced the end of an era.
She was untill the end of her life a patriot and a great lady with the power to curb her volatile and fire-eating husband.
There is not Texan be they Democrat, Republican, or Independent who would speak ill of Mrs. Johnson she earned and commanded the respect of all.
