Until this week I remembered Gerald Ford as simply a klutz who got shot at by Manson Family member Squeaky Fromm. He never seemed to be somebody who ever rose to the level of being truly presidential. How wrong I was! Wow, I had no idea what a statesman he was. I had no idea how much he was loved. I had no idea how important he was to the United States. Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone waited until he died to mention these facts?

I agree. I too failed to appreciate him until this week. Apparently he was one of the decent ones. Too bad I didn't realize it at the time...
ReplyDeleteOpps...I believe it was Sara Jane Moore who shot at Gerald Ford!
ReplyDeleteWell....excuse me but I am very confused...you're right of course about Squeaky although actually she didn't have a bullet in her gun...so maybe it was just a joke...
