LUCI BAINES JOHNSON: Bess was comfortable. She was able to build a confidence with my mother on lots and lots of levels because there was a sense of, “We’ve shared a similar walk. We understand each other. I can rely on her.” I don’t remember when Bess came to The Elms. She was just there. I do remember how grateful we all were that it was long before November 22nd.3

Was there any effort made in 1964 or 1965 to find something for Lynda and Luci to do?

BESS ABELL: I really don’t know if there ever was a concentrated effort on that. Luci, because of her own problem being left-eye dominant when you’re supposed to be right-eye dominant, was a very poor student at National Cathedral and made very, very poor grades. Dr. Robert Kraskin found that Luci had this problem, and she started taking eye exercises that solved her problem. It was just amazing how her grades went up from C’s and D’s to A’s and B’s in a matter of months. She then had an interest in working with children who had that sight problem and the learning difficulty that comes with it. Lynda, on the other hand, when she graduated was interested in finding a paying job. You know, it’s very hard to hit the pavement and hunt for a job when you’re the daughter of the president.
