Ann Richards

I usually don't do obits but Ann was my governor when I lived in Fort Worth and one of the few Texans I met who were worth a damn. I had the pleasure of speaking with her at a Dallas Cowboys game when I was part of the base honor guard at Carswell AFB. A funny lady who actually took the time to bullshit with a couple Air Force weenies as if we were old friends. She also spoke the truth about the Bush clan long before anyone even thought about listening.

The Lone Star State has lost one of its greatest treasures. I hope they realize it.

Rest well, Madame Governor.
