Yes, Gerald Ford certainly was a good man. He was the only unelected president of the US, at least in modern time. Some believe that he lost to Carter because his pardoning Nixon.

"i wonder if those who voted for carter will ever be forgiven." Forgiven, yes, forgotten, no.

I had enormous respect for Gerald Ford. I was really mad when he pardoned Nixon, but about a week or two later realized that it was not only the right thing to do but necessary. For those who remember the period, there was a media feeding frenzy and the country was not going to go forward unless Nixon was pardoned. I lived in Atlanta while Carter was Governor and was very familiar with him. I begged people not to vote for Carter since he was not a good Governor. He was a worse President than even I imagined.
