Former Democratic Governor of Texas, Ann Richards, Dead

She had charisma and forced the listener to hang on to her every word. You wanted to hear what she said, even if you differed with her opinion. That's the hallmark of a great speaker and a great politician.

Texas has given us some remarkable women in politics. And for me, losing Ann leaves a gaping hole that I'm not sure will ever be filled again.

Well done, Ann, well done!
 
Several years after leaving office Ann Richards was asked about her legacy she said:

"In looking back on my life, I could of course say the predictable thing: that the greatest thing that I’ve ever done is to bear my children and have grandchildren, and all that kind of stuff.

But the reality is that the greatest part of my life was the opportunity to be in public service. To make a difference for the community I live in, for the state that I love, to be able to try to make things better, whether they turned out in the fashion I expected them to or not.

Sometimes it’s serendipitous. Good things happen accidentally. But they’re not going to happen unless well-meaning people give their time and their lives to do that."

I believe that she was speaking to the future, to me, and to us when she said that.

All of us.

Ann Richards will have a legacy.
 
I was able to find her address in 1988 to the DNC and almost all of what she talked about then is happening today.

She was a great lady, I think she could have became president.
 
evanrick, can you post a link to her speech? I'd love to read it. Thanks!
