Anne Bright Holton (born February 1, 1958) is the Virginia Secretary of Education. She is also the wife of United States Senator and former Governor Tim Kaine and served as First Lady of Virginia from 2006 to 2010.
Anne Holton was born in Roanoke, Virginia, and is the daughter of A. Linwood Holton, Jr., and Jinks Holton, the former First Lady of Virginia. In 1969, her father was elected as Governor of Virginia, serving from 1970 to 1974. In response to a federal court decision desegregating Richmond Public Schools, she and her siblings attended predominantly black schools near the Virginia Executive Mansion, contributing to her father's efforts to make Virginia a model for race relations. One of her brothers is Woody Holton, a professor at the University of South Carolina.
Holton earned an undergraduate degree in economics graduating magna cum laude from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University in 1980. Three years later, she earned a law degree graduating cum laude from Harvard Law School. While a student at Harvard, she met her future husband, Tim Kaine. They married in 1984 and moved to Virginia. The couple has three children, Nat, Woody, and Annella.
Yeah, yeah
Sprung like a wild orchid
Curled like a wave
Hanging like wood smoke, yeah
In the airy glade
Only the wine talking
Only the wine
Head spinning, mouth open
Time after time
Sympathetic, won't forget it
Hope I never live to see the day
Gone forever, ah whatever
Help me find the way home
Coiled in my synapses
Poised like a snake
There as the time lapses
And the levee breaks
Only the wine talking
Only the wine
Head spinning, mouth open
Time after time
Laugh about it, do without it
Hope I never live to see the day
Gone forever, ah whatever
Have to find a way, the way
