The last really great thing that Richard Nixon did while in office was appoint Gerald Ford as his vice president. Ford was just the person we needed in office after Nixon resigned. It’s too bad his image got tarnished by the Nixon pardon which took place exactly 30 days after Nixon resigned. Of course that was part of the deal.

Being born in 1970, I do remember what angst Nixon put the country through. My relatives were up in arms with Nixon - the Fords were a whole different family and treated the presidency and all of the things that came along with that as respectful as they possibly could. I noticed members of my family relaxing, finally, because they understood that The Fords were the nation’s healers in a sense.
