Call me paranoid, but it seems that Austinist just ripped you off without crediting you.

I got the link to the video from my husband, who now tells me he found it in this Burnt Orange Report entry. My guess is that the Austinist writer probably found the video via BOR too. The video wasn't online right after Richards died, because I looked for it then; it must have been posted very recently.

Husband?!?

Congrats! To both of you!

I told my dad (who had his 90th birthday party this past Saturday) that Ann tried to upstage him by dying. But living is better, I think. My best Ann Richards story? Well, we knew her but we got to know her daughter Ellen a little better. One day in the Central Market parking lot we saw Ellen and Ann. We were walking along and some other people saw them, too, and were all ga-ga there's Ann. Forrest turned toward them as they were getting in their car and said, "Hey, Ellen! How are you?" She waved and said "I'm fine" and Ann looked nonplussed. The other people were just floored. And I learned a lesson. It is way cooler to address the famous someone's companion in a situation like this. Ann was OK if a little strident at times. She was so caught up in the feminist and 'little people' issue that she once refused to give FFP business because he was a 'have' as in not 'have not.' Which was totally BS at the time. Hell, SHE had a silver spoon (or foot) compared to him starting out. But he was white and male. So, yeah, whatever. I loved that she did that Alamo thing. And she was a force, no doubt. RIP.
