Editor,

Former President Gerald R. Ford is dead.  May he rest in peace.
Perhaps the country is better off for the incompetent actions of Ford during
the Warren Commission inquiry and later the pardon of Richard "I am not a
crook" Nixon.  Twice in his lifetiime Ford was called upon by fate to render
a decision which would shape the face of a nation, nay the world.  Twice he
muffed it.  Ford and the Warren Commission, a group of relatively unknowns
(at the time) determined that a lone gunman in Dallas fired (from behind)
the fatal shot that felled our youngest president who was (as the Zapruder
Film shows) struck from the front.  Twelve years later, the Watergate
Investigation drags on for months, proving our sitting president, "Tricky
Dick" is, in fact, a crook, and of the lowest calibre.  After Nixon is
forced to resign-- Ford pardons him.  Never allowing America to complete its
justice cycles--intended for balancing the corrupted psyche of the country.
Those people who loved Kennedy were denied justice.  Those who were
destroyed by Nixon were  denied justice.  Alas, my eulogy for Ford is that
of a serial obstructor of justice.
