First Lady Mrs. Gerald Ford age 93.

She payed her dues conquering alcohol and drug abuse, and set a center
for those rehabilitating those same afflictions.

She was a class act.

actually they both were. as a young liberal coming off the nixon
years, gerald ford made me realize not all conservatives were insane.


I lived in Birmingham, Michigan, for some of the time Ford was in
Congress. He was on the other side of the state, but the "take" on him
was that he was a decent guy. And that was when liberals were really
liberal and most conservatives were responsible and not crazy as they
are now.

It was a kinder time. When the gubernational candidate I worked for won
his primary, he ran a big and successful fundraiser for his chief
opponent, so the fellow could retire his campaign debts.
