Seems like a lot of "pomp and circumstance" for such a debatably minor leader.  Granted, there were milestones in his presidency, but he won't go down in history as being one of the most effective nor one looked upon with great affection.

I would think a person as humble as Gerald Ford wouldn't have wanted such a big "to-do", especially for a president who was never elected.

That said, Betty Ford, with her openess about breast cancer and drug and alcohol addiction was easily the most positive and substantive influence as a first lady since Eleanor Roosevelt.

Okay... it was just annoying. I couldn't send anything today. I know that we should honor Ford, but this really sticks at my side.

They were off on the 2nd due to the national day of mourning; I don't know of any reason they wouldn't run on the 3rd though...mine did.

Maybe you should stop buying stamps to teach them a lesson.  [:D]

There was funeral stuff on the news today. Did his funeral last longer than his presidency?
