where i live, right adjacent to the lyndon b.n grove there is a small monument to lady bird johnson but not that many people stop there because it is hard to get there. where would lady bird johnson memorial be? i cannot give you an answer off the top of my head at such an excellent question. i think the lbj library perhaps could be renamed the lady b johnson andnd lyndon b. johnson library because it certainly is a testament to her. >> he might not.
