I had just gotten off the City Council and I got a phone call from Mayor Roy Butler…and he says Mrs. Johnson wants to build a trail around Town Lake and she wants you to head up the Committee to raise the money and build it….and I said “what”….OK…I will do it for Mrs.J. so we put together a committee and started the fund raising…which the first big thing was a fund raiser at the ranch (LBJ)…which we got an unknown to play for free…named Willie Nelson…great party, and we got it stated..and it continued with lots of other events…and we all became runners and built the trail..who new it would turn us all into runners and become the thing it is today…Thank you Mrs.J…..Thank you for the job you guys are doing..amazing
