Ford

I have heard many opinions on the legacy of Gerald Ford in the past few weeks. While I was alive during his presidency I don’t recall it at all (the first President I remember is Carter). There have been a lot of folks characterizing the the pardoning of President Nixon as a selfless act that let the country heal. I am not sure that isn’t revisionist history, but what I do know is that when I see snippets of him on film, being interviewed or whatever, I do think he seems like a rather nice person. Perhaps had I been older than 4 when he was defeated I might think differently. I do know that as an adult, he seems like a grandfather and decent guy. For all I know he was a jerk and kicked old people and hated puppies…but he seems nice :)
