A nation pays its respect

Former President Gerald Ford passed away two days ago. I remember him being president, but I was young then, the age my daughter is now until I was the age my oldest son is now. It is interesting to remember how he became, first, vice-president, then president--without ever running for either of those offices.


I remember seeing his motorcade drive by once, when we lived in Mobile, Alabama. I think he was the only President I have ever seen in person like that!


Well, now as we look about us, we see flags flying half-staff, as the nation pays its respects, and mourns the loss of another former president.

Pin It Now!
