- Sixty_Rayburn abstract "Benjamin Burras Rayburn, Sr., known as B. B. "Sixty" Rayburn (August 11, 1916 – March 5, 2008), was a veteran politician from Bogalusa, an incorporated city in Washington Parish in southeastern Louisiana in the United States. He was a firm supporter of the region's public hospitals, highways, and its indigenous Southeastern Louisiana University.He served as a populist Democrat in both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature from 1948 to 1996. Rayburn's political roots were imbedded in the administrations of Governor Earl Kemp Long, but he was also friendly with later chief executives John J. McKeithen and Edwin Washington Edwards. Even his loud and raspy voice was often compared to that of Earl Long. Rayburn survived generations of social and political change in his adopted home state, including the collapse of legal segregation as well as the rise of women and Republicans to positions of authority. A raconteur, Rayburn entertained many with his lively reminiscences of the historic Long era. Rayburn was allied with organized labor and claimed to vote on a bill according to how the legislation in question would impact the "little man." Because of his longevity and power, Rayburn was known for years as the unofficial "Dean of the Louisiana Senate".".

- Sixty_Rayburn footnotes "Like Strom Thurmond in the United States Senate, Sixty Rayburn was the Louisiana State Senate's answer to longevity in public life. Rayburn's voice and mannerisms as well as his political philosophy and even his religious affiliation were said to mirror those of his mentor, Earl Kemp Long. Rayburn was perhaps the staunchest legislative defender of the Louisiana charity hospital system and worked to bring such a facility to Bogalusa. The Rayburn School of Veterinary Science in Baton Rouge honors his commitment to the establishment of the Louisiana State University's School of Veterinary Medicine, the only in the state. Because of longevity, Rayburn was known unofficially as the "Dean of the Louisiana Senate".".
