Hong Le Webb speaks out in defense of her husband....
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/02/AR2006110201673.html

-snip-

She told the crowd that Webb comes from a family of strong Virginia women and that he has supported her as a working mother.

"If I leave you with anything, it would be that about my husband," she said. "And without his service in Vietnam, I could not be the woman I am today."

-snip-

A very classy lady who has her priorities straight in my opinion. Much different from the mealy mouthed stepford wife Felix is married to.

2. Yes, she escaped with her family during...
the fall of Saigon in 1975. She was 7 years old at the time (she is 22 years younger than her husband).

4. Very beautiful and well spoken lady.


Hong Le Webb is in the middle and on the left in the pic ~~ Lynda Robb. Yep, LBJ's daughter. Talk about someone looking like her dad!

5. You're right, I missed her in the pic, Lynda is my lady...
she came to my sorority one time to meet us when she was First Lady of Virginia, as she had belonged to the same sorority. My mother-in-law used to see her in the grocery store too on occasion. A very classy and gracious lady, much like her mother.

7. "Lynda Bird"
I remember her nick from hearing it so many years ago. She is a very good looking lady. I was happy to see the picture of her ~~ thanks for the info about her. She sounds like she is just a pretty inside as she is outside.

8. I Was At a Function With Lynda Bird
one night in Williamsburg. We were in the ladies' room together and she was talking about running late because of carpooling. As lovely and gracious as she is/was, she was still just another mom like I was.
