View the complete film at: www.texasarchive.org Shot on November 5, 1964 for an Austin-based network news affiliate, this footage shows President Lyndon Baines Johnson and Vice President Hubert Humphrey celebrating their 1964 election victory with a "press barbecue" at the LBJ Ranch. Johnson and Humphrey are joined by Lady Bird, Muriel Humphrey, and John and Nellie Connally at the Ranch and are seated in a cart talking to press. Because of rainy weather, the barbecue was held in the ranch's plane hangar, which was decorated to look like a barn. Entertainment included the "Los Conqustadores" string group with Rosita Fernandez of San Antonio. As often occurred at ranch barbecues, Cactus Pryor served as the Master of Ceremonies and Walter Jetton catered the meal. Of note, President Johnson and Vice President elect Humphrey mount horses for a photo opportunity, and journalist Dan Rather is shown in the crowd of reporters.

Muriel Fay Buck Humphrey Brown (February 20, 1912 September 20, 1998) was the widow of former Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Following her husband's death, she was appointed to his seat in the United States Senate, thus being the first wife of a Vice President to hold public office. She later remarried and took the name Muriel Humphrey Brown.

Early life and education

Humphrey was born Muriel Fay Buck in Huron, South Dakota, daughter of Andrew E. Buck and his wife, the former Jessie Mae Pierce. She attended Huron College and met Humphrey in 1934, when she was working as a bookkeeper. They married on September 3, 1936, saying, "It was love at first waltz". They had four children: Hubert III, Nancy, Robert, and Douglas.

Political life

Humphrey was appointed as a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party by Rudy Perpich, the governor of Minnesota, to the Senate vacancy caused by the death of her husband, and served from January 25, 1978 to November 7, 1978 in the 95th Congress. She was the first spouse of a former Vice President to serve in Congress as well as the first woman to represent Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. She was not a candidate for the special election for the remaining term. "It was the most challenging thing I've done in my whole life," she said. Twenty-eight years later, Amy Klobuchar, a fellow DFLer, would become the first woman to be elected to the United States Senate from Minnesota.

Looking back at her political life, Humphrey reflected "There's something I've been wanting to say for a long time. I'm a liberal and I'm proud of it. In fact, I was probably a little more liberal than Hubert was. I just wanted to say that." While in office, and after, she pressed for the right for women to choose to have an abortion and worked towards legislation for the rights of the mentally disabled.

Second marriage

In 1981, Humphrey married Max Brown, a friend from childhood. "I don't live a life of politics any more," she said after her second marriage. "Max and I have so much fun. We have a wonderful companionship that Hubert and I didn't have, couldn't have. We were so busy and it was so official almost all the time."

Death

When Muriel Humphrey Brown died, she was survived by her husband of 19 years and her children, who were at her side when she died at the age of 86. She is interred in Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota, next to her first husband, Hubert H. Humphrey.
