5. Class by both Ford & Carter
A long time ago they became friends and agreed to speak @ each other funeral depending
who went first.

Rest well Jerry Ford.

9. Did anyone see Michael Ford greeting people this morning at the library?
I couldn't believe he was there greeting and shaking hands with the people who came by to see the casket. I really liked that.

12. Like their politics or not the Ford's had and have class
As President Ford's Dog went to the bathroom in a room where Ford was.
A secret service agent or an aid went to clean it up but Ford stopped him/her
and said, "I expect no man to do that for me."

15. Highlights

  • spoke on their early background they shared: both served in Navy, both had three sons and a daughter, both married "smart, good-looking" women
  • diplomatic efforts (nuclear weapons, Helsinki Accords)
  • how Begin, Sadat and he called Ford on the plane back to Washington from Camp David to tell him of the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt
  • how they formed a bond of friendship at Anwar Sadat's funeral in 1981
  • how they both helped each other with their post-presidential plans
  • personal friendship and relationship both they and their wives shared
  • sympathies of the Carter family to the Ford family
  • closed with a quote like one he made thirty years ago: thanks to "his predecessor for all he did to heal our land"

22. Jimmy Carter was both eloquent and elegant. Gasp......I'm gonna
say it, Rumsfeld was also eloquent and elegant. Both eulogies were geared and directed to the family, very very nice....
