"Retiring Representative Lindy Boggs (D-Louisiana) reflected on her nine terms in Congress serving Louisiana&rsquo;s 2nd District.\r<br/> \r<br/>Rep. Boggs was elected in 1973 to a seat vacated by her husband\r<br/>following his disappearance and presumed death in a plane crash.\r<br/>Representative Hale Boggs was the majority leader at the time, having served continuously in Congress since 1947. She recalled the situation saying, &ldquo;The governor called an election, and I sort of found myself  running. I never made a concise (<i>sic</i>) decision to run.&rdquo;\r<br/> \r<br/>Rep. Boggs discussed her life as a descendant of an important political family, her early years in Washington activities, and the\r<br/>political connections of her family. She also spoke of her own\r<br/>political career and gave advice for her successor."
