Anne Armstrong, R.I.P.

I missed this sad news yesterday (thank you, Quorum Report, for catching me up). Anne was a great lady of Texas, one of the most charming, accessible, interesting, and politically deft women Texas produced in the last century. She was a grande dame of the Texas ranching dynasties.  I loved it that in the old days she had no telephone number. To call her, one would dial “0” and ask the operator to connect to Anne Armstrong at Armstrong Ranch in Armstrong, Texas.
