Former Texas Governor, Ann Richards \Dies

Gosh.

She had such a distinctive 'voice' in so many ways.

Just seeing her as a political discussion panel member could make me smile, cuz I knew she wasn't going to take crap from anyone.

A really spectacular woman and political creature.

I think she'll be much missed.

I wanted to post a nice photo of her, but don't have it in me this morning.

The dear Ann Richards-




Shown as the woman she was.


I will miss her, and I only wish she was about 40 years younger so I could join in her campaigns, send her every vote I have, and stand outside the capitol building in support.

And there are not many 'politicians' I would do that for..

I really liked her, too.

Sorry to hear about Ann, edgar. I really admired the woman. If I recall correctly, she also warned us to never under estimate the power of the Bush's.

She was truly amazing.

She was fabulous. Loved her style and attitude.

As all have said before in some way or other, she was an amazing woman. Life was better knowing she was in the world.

As they say, Rest In Peace. What a good woman, what a good person.

On NPR this morning, a friend of over 40 years, who also worked for her during Ann's administration, was telling a story that really captured her spirt.

Short after she came to office, Queen Elizabeth visited Texas.l

Ann and her friend had run into some problems, and where on the verge of being late.
Both ladies were rushing through the building, in a fluster, when Ann said...

"When I (pronounced "ah" :wink: ) was a little girl, I would sometimes get all dressed up....my mother would look at me and say "WHERE do you think YOU'RE going? To see the QUEEN of ENGLAND?""

That's so Ann.










I've stood in front of this portrait several times at the capitol. Each time you just think "What a BEAUTIFUL woman"
