FYI.. In my stocking this weekend, I got a book, "Halsey's Typhoon"..about the storm that struck the Pacific Fleet off Okinawa in WW II. Among the pics is one of Lt Gerald Ford playing basketball aboard one of the carriers just before the storm hit.

Ford's legacy is still debatable, IMHO, and not because he didn't know that Poland wasn't then a free country, but rather because his pardon of Nixon gave us four years of Carter...

I do hope that the Ford family has a modest burial, lest comparisons with Reagan's funeral be made.

but rather because his pardon of Nixon gave us four years of Carter...

Which then gave us eight years of Reagan.

Glad he had a long and rich life. RIP.

I hope that the Ford family has whatever funeral they want to have including a full state funeral including procession, lying in state at the rotunda, procession to the graveside....if that's what they want.

I'll also take a moment to tip my hat to Betty Ford. I'll never forget her courage in going public about her alcoholism and the way she's handled her rehab including the Clinic. A strong woman who was married to a good strong man.

Lastly, thank you President Ford and God rest your good soul.
