1. As a 3rd generation Texan, I loved Ann! But I do wonder...why was the Queen in Texas or, maybe, why

was Ann Richards at an event with the Queen?

"Did you know Queen Elizabeth II was the first British monarch to visit the state of Texas?

In the spring of 1991, the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, traveled around the Lone Star State visiting Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's trip to Texas was part of a two-week tour across the U.S., which included a state dinner at the White House with President George W. Bush. The royal couple also made stops in Miami, Baltimore and Tampa.
....


Also in Austin, the Queen met with Lady Bird Johnson and Governor Ann Richards, both of whom have also passed away, on the plaza of the LBJ Presidential Library.

Large crowds gathered everywhere the Queen went, including the Alamo and River Walk in San Antonio, the Meyerson Symphony Center and Hall of State at Fair Park in Dallas, and the NASA Johnson Space Center and Museum of Fine Arts in Houston."...(more)
