R.I.P. President Gerald Ford

Amidst the happiness and joy of the holiday season comes the sad news of the passing of former President Gerald Ford. The oldest living president at the time of his death, Ford was 93, and is said to have died peacefully, though the exact cause is not yet known. In a statement issued last night, President George W. Bush summed up perhaps many people's thoughts about Ford in saying this: "The American people will always admire Gerald Ford's devotion to duty, his personal character and the honorable conduct of his administration. We mourn the loss of such a leader, and our 38th president will always have a special place in our Nation's memory." Rest in peace, President Gerald Ford.
