Say what you will about Gov. Richards, but she was a Texan through and through.

I met her in '88 -- you're exactly right...

Thanks Michael.

I once encountered Ann at the Lincoln Center Barnes and Noble in the travel section. Turns out she had a place in NYC.

RIP Ma Richards.

On another note, I wonder if Clayton Williams is lying back and enjoying this...

I used to see her a couple of times a week on the exercise trails until fairly recently. I'd heard she was not doing well though.
