We remember Lady Bird Johnson, the former First Lady. (Former First Lady Died at 94).
She was born Claudia Alta Taylor in Karnack, Texas on this day in 1922 and got the nickname "Lady Bird" as a small child. The future First Lady married the future president in 1934.
In the 1950's, Mr. Johnson became US Senate Majority Leader and one of the most powerful men in Washington. In 1960, he became VP Johnson under President Kennedy.
Everything changed on November 22, 1963. Many of us remember that incredible picture of LBJ assuming the presidency on Air Force One. He was sworn next to Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Johnson. It was one of the most incredible pictures of the 20th century!

During President Johnson's difficult presidency, Mrs. Johnson had to deal with outrageous attacks on her husband. Nevertheless, she kept her dignity and raised two wonderful daughters.
We miss Mrs. Johnson. She was a wonderful First Lady, wife, mother and grandmother. For more on her life, see this!
