(6,856 posts)That storm was huge by D.C. standards. My brothers built a six foot snow fort from 2 to 3 feet of snow. Did not like snow days added onto school year, Deep into June that year.

(13,058 posts)My friend & i took our daughters (students @ UT Austin, Lady Bird's alma mater) down to Austin to rent their apartment, and while there we visited the LBJ library on the UT campus. We saw her office, and the legacy of a great Democratic president. Their love story is well documented at the library - he attended Texas State while he courted her at UT. She was quite a beauty and a vivacious young lady compared to his shy, stiff, almost awkward demeanor. I highly recommend visiting the center if anyone is ever in the Austin area. Also recommend the Clinton library in Little Rock, and JFK's in Boston.
