I recall so well sitting in the stands at a football game at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria when Gerald Ford was House minority leader.
As I remember it, he was sitting several rows above me when his son, who was on the football team, was injured. The coaches and medics attended to the young man and took him, finally, on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance. Only then did Mr. Ford walk quickly down the steps, jump the fence and slip into the ambulance with his son.
No fuss. No fanfare. No special treatment. Just a very concerned father, reacting with class and dignity.
