LBJMDB/RR: The donations keep comin'
In the last few weeks, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Downstairs Bathroom/Reading Room has experienced a significant uptick in the number of contributions to its rapidly expanding collection of LBJ memorabilia. The most recent gift comes courtesy of the Institute of Dawn Adair, which procured a host of lovely items during a visit to the LBJ library in Austin, Texas. These items include postcards, two magnets, an iron-on patch (!), and a magnificent poster with a drawing of our 36th president’s head alongside the slogan "LBJ for the USA." We cannot sufficiently express our gratitude to the Institute of Dawn Adair, or IDA, so we will simply say "thank you" and leave it at that.
Of particular note is the postcard reproduction of a painting (see above) featuring no fewer than three LBJs. There is happy LBJ, pensive LBJ, and staring-off-into-the-distance LBJ. All of them appear to exist in a sea of swirling pastels. It shall be framed and hung in a prominent place. Probably next to the sink.
