My most vivid memory of Gerald Ford was his response, when just after his inauguration the Cambodian Navy attacked and took control of an American ship in International waters.

No matter what the MSM naysayers and those that were not there say, He did Good!

Gerald may you rest in peace and know that we loved you!

I think Mrs. Ford looks very frail.

Watched the departure from California. Saw her military escort pat her hand once and he kept looking at her. Was surprised to find my face wet with tears when it was over.

This is an interesting conversation on Fox about Ford's administration being the "incubator" for the leaders of today.

She looks so frail to me. It must be ever so difficult for her to lose him. Prayers for her strength.
