Miss Lurleen. She did some really good things in addressing the state of mental health care in Alabama during her term as governor. Contrary to popular opinion, Miss Lurleen and George were not interchangeable.

I love hearing someone referred to as "Miss". It's how I was raised, and I am proud to have trained all my friends to use honorifics when referring to one another, beloved children, and their respected elders.

and how I have raised my two daughters. It's second nature to me to refer to someone who was a respected elder to me during my childhood as "Miss" or "Mister". My grandfather worked on Miss Lurleen's campaign, and I remember sitting in her lap one evening during a political meeting that Papa and Grandmother were hosting.

She saw her speak in Beaumont, TX and was so impressed. She had never heard such an educated, graceful woman speak so purty.
She wanted her youngest daughter to get an education and speak up, just like Miss Wallace.
