Ford Reading the obituaries on President Ford makes me suspect that his presidency influenced my father strongly. I'm reading many tidbits that sound reminiscent of the sorts of sage advice that my father has often repeated to his kids: things like the absolute importance of honesty. That makes sense. My father would have been in his early 30's during the Watergate scandal and subsequent period of healing that Ford helped to initiate. What must it be like to be in your 30's and have a president that you can respect and admire? Admittedly, I was hopeful in both the first terms of Clinton and Bush. They both turned out to be liars and not to be men of very great character. I thought it was most interesting in reading the excellent Washington Post obituary to read that the obituary writer actually predeceased the president. Odd. Makes me wonder if I should be working on the initial draft of my obituary so that a thorough history is available when the time comes. I need to update my resume first, which I guess is really just the same thing. |
