I met Ann years ago here in Chicago, on Michigan Avenue. I wanted to shake
her hand and did so, saying I really admired her, to which she responded,
"Thank you, honey!" along with a dazzling smile. She was a REAL gal...and a
GREAT one, too.

Texas always struck me as a rather schizophrenic place, you had real
populists like her, Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, and LBJ, and then you had
the 'distaff' side of that. Very' interesting' to say the least...
