President Gerald R. Ford, 1913 - 2006

Former President Gerald R. Ford died at 93 on Tuesday, December 26, 2006.  After taking office upon Nixon's resignation he said:

"My fellow Americans," Ford said, "our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works. Our great republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule."

And, true to his reputation as unassuming Jerry, he added: "I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your president by your ballots. So I ask you to confirm me with your prayers."
