13. Of course. eom

4. I would hope Caroline Kennedy or some cousins were there. Mrs. JFK

and Ladybird had a strange relationship, (they mostly ignored each other) but still.....

5. Yes, Caroline and her husband are there

And Maria Shriver.

6. But not Teddy Kennedfy.Very Odd.

7. Can you imagine what this funeral would be like if it were Nancy Reagan instead of Lady Bird?

I think it's a shame that not every major Dem. that could get there did.

9. Washington would shut down for a week and all TV channels would carry it......for days.

11. The longer they are out of the public eye, the less impact it has. Many of us even here on this

board don't know much about her. She was a former first lady when I was born. I am not belittling her in any way. She sounds like a wonderful woman from the reports. But Nancy Reagan is going to be known and remembered by more people. LBJ left office almost 40 years ago. If Nancy lives until 2027, I imagine the response will be close to the response we have today.

12. Maria Shriver and her brother were there.

Their father lead Johnson's "War on Poverty" program out of which Head Start was formed. :thumbsup:
