Remember
All the Way with LBJ
?
This Tony Award-winning play deals with
the larger-than-life character of Lyndon B.
Johnson negotiating his role as President after
Kennedy’s assassination. See Johnson as a
complicated, vulnerable, and emotionally needyman interacting
with some of America’s most influential historical figures such
as Martin Luther King, Jr., J. Edgar Hoover, George Wallace,
Hubert Humphrey, and Robert McNamara. The setting is 1964,
when the legislature was grappling with a massive civil rights
bill and Vietnam loomed and divided the country. Using down-
home, off-color humor, Johnson knew how to make deals, swap
favors, twist arms, and employ blackmail-like techniques. Known
to run roughshod over people as he felt necessary, he played
whatever part it took to win the day. The playwright says, “It’s
a play about the morality of politics and power,” and wonders,
“How much leeway does a good intention give you to violate the
law?” See the action unfold fromNovember 22, 1963 up until the
Democratic National Convention in 1964.
Following the matinee, we will stop at the Domain where you
can choose froma variety of restaurants for dinner on your own.
Eat with your friends or join a group of us who will dine together.
Ticket cost includes transportation and orchestra seating.

as well as in
our own
SunRays
. Right here inCentral Texas,
this nationally and internationally acclaimed archaeological site
is known for its huge number of artifacts from the Clovis culture,
dating from about 11,000 years ago. Over 2.6 million artifacts
from the site shed new light on the society of these oldest known
people in the Americas.
The site had a long history of archaeological abuse, including paid
digging and looting, andmuch of the upper stratawas irreparably
damaged. Thankfully, that is in the past, and the remaining
area is nowprotected. Wewill get towalk through the excavation
site and hear about its history and present-day expectations from
Dr. Clark Wernecke, Executive Director of the Gault School of
Archaeological Research. Dr. Wernecke has the gift of making
his narrative interesting and entertaining as well as informative.
After our visit to Gault, we will go to Schoepf’s in Belton for
BBQ lunch.
Note: There will be much walking on this trip with no
places to sit down and rest.
