Lyndon B. and Lady Bird Johnson
Aspiring reporter Claudia “Lady Bird” Taylor met Lyndon B. Johnson, a 26-year-old Congressional aide, in Austin, Texas. On their first date, Lyndon proposed. Showing, well, maybe a little less prudence than Betty Ford, Lady Bird accepted his proposal 10 weeks later. They got married in 1934 and had two children: Lynda Bird and Luci Baines. That’s right — every member of their family was an “LBJ.” When Lyndon assumed the presidency after John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Lady Bird devoted her time as first lady to the beautification of the country, especially regarding nature.
