AP File Photo

Then-President Clinton, left, leans in to listen to former President Bush, right, over Lady Bird Johnson during a dinner in honor of the 200th anniversary of the White House in this November 2000 file photo, in Washington. Lady Bird Johnson, a pioneering spirit who professionalized the first lady's office and transformed the nation's landscape, died Wednesday here.

DFO: One of my funniest missteps at the SR involved Lady Bird Johnson. Years ago, I wrote a column in which I mentioned the "late" Lady Bird Johnson, figuring she was pushing up daisies like her husband. As you can see, I'm finally right. But the sports writers never let me hear the end of it.

Question: Do you have any fond memories of Lady Bird (other than amazement that she married such a homely old coot like LBJ)?
