Mr. Ford's accomplishments as a young man were impressive: member of the National Honor Society, Eagle Scout, standout athlete in high school and at the University of Michigan. He received offers to play professional football for the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. Instead, he chose to serve as an assistant coach at Yale University before he enrolled in Yale Law School.
As America remembers the 38th president, I think it is important to note his early accomplishments. He set an excellent example for young people.

You want to know how I remember Gerald Ford? I remember him as Richard M. Nixon's "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
While the usual political pundits make revisionist excuses for Mr. Ford in an attempt to convince us his decision to pardon Nixon was a "moral" act that led to "national healing," nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is that Mr. Ford, a good old Republican Party boy, had cut a prior deal with Nixon. For that he should never be forgiven.
