LBJ sent my mother this birthday card when he was the vice president, inscribed with his bold, recognizable signature. He also sent a congratulatory letter to her after my birth in which he wrote, “Thank heaven for little girls!” Today, on August 27, this “girl” remembers the former President of the United States of America who was born on his this day in 1908.
Happy Birthday, LBJ~
