Beautiful People
In loving memory of Governor Ann Richards (1933-2006) and for my Goose, my favorite Beautiful Person who is also a Texan. (Photo by Bobby Earl Smith, taken at a reception at the governor's mansion in Austin, 1993.)
Yes, my sweet Roxie, this was on June 10, 1993 -- or so I think. I'll have to look at my journals to see if I recorded what we were saying to one another. . . .I believe this is the best picture of me my brother ever took, even though I was in chronic pain at the time and badly needed a haircut. I'm glad to have met her; I wish I had really gotten to know her. That would have been more than swell. But meeting her was more than that, for an afternoon anyway.
