She'll Be at Home Taking Care of Her Lawn

Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "SHADY SHORES — It wouldn’t be quite accurate to say Olive Stephens has been a Shady Shores mayor or a councilwoman for as long as the North Texas lakefront town has existed. She actually won her first council election in 1962, two years after the Lewisville Lake community incorporated to keep neighboring Denton from gobbling it up.

But at 94, Stephens says 48 years in municipal government, the last 38 as mayor, is enough. She says she won’t seek a 20th term as mayor in the May municipal election."
