I know that elephant tranq is a nickname for PCP but it sounds a little random for what tranquilizers do vs PCP. so i was just wondering if it got that name because there is actually elephant tranquilizer in it. # 2 (permalink). 07-27-2009, 07:57 AM.
Minnie Foster--Once a happy girl. She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir. (from Trifles by Susan Glaspell). This quote made me relaize that Mrs. Wright actually seemed happier and more lively before she got married to Mr. Wright.
Perhaps that name was prophetic, as there has seldom been a First Lady so attuned to nature and the importance of conserving the environment. Her mother, Minnie Pattillo Taylor, died when Lady Bird was five, so she was reared by her father, her aunt, and family servants.
