I was only 8 yrs old when he became president but later on in life i come to feel he did a lot to heal the country after Nixon. For someone who was ready to retire out of govt work he was thrusted into being president.
He i believe laid the ground work for Reagan's presidency and was very impressed by his devotion to family. I heard many times this week he is one of the last of the true good guys who made a difference in this world.
I watched the svcs from Grand Rapids like everyone else and was very moved how he and Carter were very close friends but how he talked about him and how politcal giants(rumsfield and kissinger) can be moved to sheer emotion with kind words spoken on behalf of a kind and wonderful president.
It is refreshing to see how close his family is. After watching Reagan's funeral and the way the children were very detached it was great to see how the Ford children and grandchildren loved their dad and grand dad and how they really cling to Betty. I still have this little crush on Steven from his Y&R days. for 50 he looks dang good to me.


RIP Mr President and god bless the Ford family and Mrs Ford in this time of grief.
