Brings Back Memories

[ithildin]

I just turned the channel a few minutes ago to the news that President Ford had died. Back when I was in junior high, his was the very first presidential campaign I volunteered for. It was part of a school assignment, to collect information on the election, and I stuck around and helped out. It was the beginning of a life long interest in politics for me. Odd the things you remember at times like these.

My prayers for him and for his family.

I agree and also offer prayers for him and his family as well......

His passing was sad since he was the first president I remember.

While it's sad, would that we all could live such a long fulfilled life surrounded by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
