A Tribute to President Ford

[cyber-sibes]

I don't really recall too much of Ford's presidency except for Nixon's pardon. But I listened to the speeches at the funeral, and I must say that Henry Kissinger was eloquent! After hearing him run down a "behind the scenes" account of Ford's quiet diplomacy, I have a much deeper appreciation of the importance of President Ford's efforts. I have always admired Betty Ford, for her candid and unapologetic advocacy of issues "you just don't talk about" -- breast cancer, alcoholism, and addiction. The world is a better place for us all. God Bless you, President Gerald Ford, and your family. RIP.

Sara, you and I often differ but on this we think alike. Unfortunately I am old enough to remember everything about that time and I agree with you completely.
