Texas, Her Texas is the fascinating story of Frances Goff and her three
remarkable careers: in Texas government as legislative aide and State
Budget Director; at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer
Center; and as Director of the Bluebonnet Girls State Program of the
American Legion Auxiliary. Based on Goff's personal papers and
interviews with those who knew her, including former Texas Governor Ann
Richards, the book provides inside glimpses of such leaders in state
politics as Coke Stevenson, Allan Shivers, and Richards herself. The
fast-paced narrative also describes the founding and early years of M.
D. Anderson and Goff's key role as an aide to Dr. R. Lee Clark in
building this world-renowned cancer treatment facility.
