Gone, but never to be forgotten: Molly Ivins
One of Austin’s best-known citizens has gone to her great reward. All paths used to cross on the Avenue, and she was one of those often to be seen on one part or another of Congress. It used to be very easy to see and have a picture taken with Willie Nelson, who was always very gracious. The old folks have many of those. But the one they really wanted to be photographed with was Molly Ivins. The Texas Observer, as is to be expected, has Everything Molly on its site, with the official announcement of her homegoing and many personal reminiscences and tributes.
That, I must say, stinks. She’ll be missed.
