I read a couple of books she wrote. What I truly liked about her was that she was just plain 'folks'; no holier-than-thou pretensions just because she could sing opera. Did you ever see her in her specials with Carol Burnett?...a couple of hams if I ever saw any.

Charles Lane died at 102. I had to look him up as I didn't recognize the name, but, boy, do I recognize the face. I cannot believe he was alive up till now. Would someone post his obit. That man was in everything that came down the pike.

He's one of those actors who you know by face but not name. He's been in everything! 102 is a good run.

I remember him from I Love Lucy. He was the guy in the Passport Office when Lucy took all the sea sickness pills on the ferry.

:-( I remember him from Petticoat Junction and a ton of other stuff. It was fascinating to read that he was not happy locked into the crotchety persona by Hollywood. Means that he was probably a lovely fellow in person. And he was a pal of Lucy's! :-)

Oh no I think I read some of her books years ago. Oh my Charles Lane was in tons of stuff but I never knew his name.

Back when I read historical romances, I loved her books. Ashes in the Wind was one of my favorites.

Me too Mamie.

One of my favorite memories of my dad was one day I was sitting on the couch reading "Ashes in the Wind" and my dad walked by. I guess he just kinda glanced at what I was reading and then freaked out. Started asking me how could I read stuff like that and how he had never believed my mom (who was standing there all confused like me) would allow me to read something like that. Come to find out when he glanced at the title he thought is said "Sh*t in the Wind".

Always makes me laugh.

That's a cute story.

When I was younger, I devoured historical romance. I don't read them anymore. I loved Kathleen Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers.

:-( I've read a ton of her books as well. Ashes in the Wind was one of my favorites too. In the article Lyn linked to above it says that she had a son who died last month. Very sad.

Ashes in the Wind was a treasured book for a long time. I've since gone back to mystery novels and biographies but Kathleen Woodiwiss was definitely one of my favorite authors for quite awhile.

Good story Terolyn. I liked Rosemary Rogers too Mamie. I used to read these when I was younger and "A Rose in Winter," is my favorite of Kathleen Woodiwiss. I read most all her books. I also read a lot of Johanna Lindsey as well with Kathleen and Rosemary's. I don't read these anymore, but I have considered getting her new one that is being published in October just for old time sake.

Johanna Lindsey was another one I read. My favorite of hers is A Knight In Shining Armor. That's one I can still read and enjoy.

Lady Bird Johnson Dies
ABC


Lady Bird Johnson, the former first lady known for her environmental conservation and landscape beautification efforts, died today. She was 94.

The widow of former President Lyndon Baines Johnson, had suffered a stroke in 2002 that left her with difficulty speaking.

She is survived by her adult children, Lynda Bird Robb, wife of former Virginia Sen. Chuck Robb, Luci Baines Turpin, and seven grandchildren.

Born Claudia Alta Taylor, "Lady Bird" Johnson grew up in a country mansion in Karnack, Texas. As a child, a family nurse declared she was as "pretty as a ladybird." The nickname stuck.

Although Lady Bird Johnson lived much of her life in the shadow of one of the most powerful men of the 20th century, she played a pivotal role in some of the nation's most turbulent years. [...]

Ohhh, I hadn't heard that until now. Rest in peace, Lady Bird.

She had the most wonderful First Lady campaign...Keep America Beautiful. I think it needs to be re-emphasized; there's so much litter on the highways and byways, which I haven't seen in such a long time. Didn't she also have a native wildflowers campaign? We'll have to ask the Texans!
