Guest Guest Posted July 12, 2005 I believe President Ford turns 92 this week. Could it be his last birthday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DeathLister Posted July 13, 2005 Tomorrow, the 14th of July, marks 92 years since the birth of Gerald R. Ford. Contrary to speculation, I believe, judging from the former president's recent appearance at the awards ceremony at which his healthy 87-year-old spouse Betty was honored, that he has at least his 93rd birthday to look forward to, as well. I believe that Ford stands an excellent chance of surpassing Ronald Reagan as the longest-lived U.S. president. But then again, reaching the age of 90 makes you liable to die, really, at just about any given moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted July 13, 2005 He will die before his 93rd birthday, I have no doubt of that. Ronnie`s record will stand for aeons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Chicago Posted July 14, 2005 Happy 92nd Birthday President Ford! Honestly in terms of his health I think he isnt on his deathbed but at the same time not really healthy enough to travel. It is difficult for anyone of his advanced age to make public appearances and travel. It is my understanding that his recent public appearence with his wife was near his home in California. It is interesting that there is such wide variation in regards to the state of his health, I have heard everything from he still golfs and swims daily to he is bedridden. I honeslty just think he is an old man trying to enjoy the last years of his life in peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honeslty just think he is an old man trying to enjoy the last years of his life in peace. I could agree with most of it. After all he is now 92 years old which would make traveling difficult not because he is very sick and fading away but because he is just old and a bit weaker. I also heard he swims quite often and plays golf every hear and there "Though i think i heard he had some kind of heat stroke while playing the activity" Even if there are good reports he should definitly be one to watch. I'm sure he still gets those "Bedridden" type days and also to mention the same to his 88 year old wife. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted July 19, 2005 Well with 2 ex heads of state dead this year (Heath and Callaghan), it's probably time for an aging U.S. head of state from the same era to bite the dust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest iain Posted July 20, 2005 Ive heard from someone in the states who claims to know these things that the health of ex president Gerald Ford has deteriorated markedely in the past few days and that he may be in his final days on this mortal coil.I cant vouch for this but I think we should keep an eye on things just in case...

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 20, 2005 I can remember the last time we waited for Ford's death. We were all anxious to see him award his wife with that prize thing to assess him. Then suddenly Gerald Ford went from someone who was lying in their death bed to a man who swims and plays golf regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest iain Posted July 20, 2005 I think youll find that he is a very sick man.most unlikely he is playing golf anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alls that I'm saying is that last time his death was imminant, he turned out to be fine. (Sorry, I appear to be being a bitch tonight). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You said the exact same thing about Patrick Moore on July 17th and Bill Deedes on July 18th. If I am not mistaken, you do sound very much like our dearly departed colleague, Death List Observer in the Lady Bird Johnson thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allright Ian, fill us in some more on Gerald Ford, there has been nothing reported in the media with regards to his health. It was reported that he spent his birthday at home in California with his wife. However his museum in Michigan did offer free birthday cake to the first 500 visitors on July 14.

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 26, 2005 However his museum in Michigan did offer free birthday cake to the first 500 visitors on July 14. So I'm guessing there is a hell of a lot of cake left. Mind you, it depends how big the cake was...and indeed on how big the pieces were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted August 2, 2005 All I have been able to locate is George Bush making mention of Gerald Ford as he (GB) addressed the scouts at their Jamboree. Turns out that Ford, Bush, Dickie the Hologram Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were all scouts and attained the top ranking of Eagle Scout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turns out that Ford, Bush, Dickie the Hologram Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were all scouts and attained the top ranking of Eagle Scout. I have it on good authority that George Dubya did not attend any scout meetings or jamborees, failed to attend the medical, used his father's influence to get Eagle Scout, and then transfered to the airforce when things in Vietnam started to hot up. The rest, as they say, is history Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
