Former president Ford died yesterday at the age of 93, 1913--2006
Mr Gerald Ford Died in his Calif home at the age of 93. Mr Ford played Football at U Mich and also served in WW II on an Air craft carry. He went on to Congress in 1947 and served until 1973. After a step down form President Nixon Vice President, he was asked to leave Congress and to served as Vice president in the Nixon Government. When Nixon resigned form his post in 1974 -because of the Water Gate- he step up to be President. He was the first president to become President without being Elected. One of the bills he sign, was to stop the war in Asia and bring our American Man and women home. It's a sad day, to lose a great man who did a lot for America. He lived a long life and our hopes is he will rest in peace.

May he rest in peace.
In fact I believe he should have elected for one more term.

Too bad he pardoned Nixon. It would've been nice to see Nixon face punishment for his crimes.

it's weird: i'm too much of a spring chicken to remember ford in any way besides those good old chevy chase skits. i suppose that's the way things go these days: nostalgic for things i never knew.
