Born Claudia Alta Taylor, her nursemaid thought she was as pretty as a 'ladybird'. As an adult she married Lyndon Baines Johnson who became president after the assasination of President Kennedy. As First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson was known for her efforts to beautify the physical surrounding of Washington DC, and was instrumental in the creation of the Highway Beautification Act.

I wrote to Mrs. Johnson quite a few years back to thank her for one contribution, her beautification of America's highways. I was so touched by the beautiful bluebells blooming across country on one driving trip and was then educated to the fact that they were there because of "Ladybird." This beauty remains a good memory.

Forever Missed

It looks like the former first lady on Friday will "lie in repose" at the LBJ Library and Museum in Austin, Texas, where the public can pay respects. A private funeral on Saturday in Austin will be followed on Sunday by private burial at the Johnson family cemetery in Stonewall, Texas.
