I was actually surprised he was still alive. He had a good run. Stage
4 lung cancer is not something you get over tho. It killed my BIL when
he was 73 just short of his 74th birthday. Not a fun way to die.
I voted for him in 76 (VP) but I was done with the majors by 96.


Liddy Dole, his wife, is at least a decade younger and the last time I
saw her on TV, she looked pretty decent for her age. I like Dole and
liked Gerry Ford. Ford was a Congressman from western Michigan (Grand
Rapids) when I lived in that state and was active in Michigan Democratic
Party politics. Gerry was a really conservative Republican for his time,
but I didn't know a Dem politician who didn't like and respect him.


It's a shame no one but Donnie likes you.
