Ford and Brown

The Christmas Holiday brought us the loss of two people who touched our lives, well, the second one may have only touched the lives of us baby boomers, but the first, of course touched each of us, President Gerald Ford and the entertainer James Brown. Gerald Ford was the president that our nation needed after the Nixon Administration, he healed the nation and will go down in history for that. We are all fortunate for what Gerald Ford brought to our country, Democrats and Republicans both will admit to that.

James Brown is not in the same category of course, as President Ford, but he did bring a lot of “soul” into the world and we baby boomers did enjoy his music. His music will live on.
