I was in Vail with my brother many years ago....we lined the streets and waited for then President Ford, he had just lost the election and my brother wanted to shake his hand. I really didn't like Ford mainly because he pardoned Nixon...that really pi**ed me off. Somehow we got separated ending up on opposite sides of the street...can you see what is coming.
You guessed it the President and his wife changed sides and I ended up shaking President Ford's hand as well as Betty's. Even though I was in my more radical youth one should always respect the President....you might not like him but you should show respect for the office.
It was a pretty good story around the family for years.
