"President Ford, who is 91 and no longer travels extensively, does not plan to attend."
I wish he could, and would attend.
He took on a tough and thankless job, at a most difficult time in our history. Did it well, under those circumstances.
He deserves our respect.
Haven't heard much from former President Ford lately, but for a while everytime he opened his mouth I was reminded why I voted for Ronald Reagan in the 1976 GOP primary.
