I believe that was me who mentioned it...I heard Joe Garagiola a couple of days ago on one of the Fox news shows say it, he was good friends with President Ford..

Thanks, Texas.

I'm always amazed how fulfilling these threads are -- and how much we can learn from each other.

God rest President Ford's soul, and prayers of comfort for his family and friends.

I can't recall all that he said, Garagiola, I never knew they were good friends, and I always liked Joe. He also had a game show years ago, came on late at night, no idea what it was called but I remember liking it!

I'm *almost* 5'2" and I remember a friend describing me over the phone to a friend who hadn't met me yet (but who was going to be meeting me soon) as "Oklahoma plump" - we lived in Texas.

I weighed 98 lbs at the time, so I have always wondered what in the world men see when they look through their own stupid eyes. I looked fat to myself, too - but when I think back on that, I can't imagine anyone thinking that who saw me.
