Gerald Ford Died Tonight

Former U.S. President Gerald Ford

I just read that Gerald R. Ford, the 38th president of the United States, died today at the age of 93. Ford, of course, was the one who pardoned Richard Nixon, a move which sparked a lot of controversy back then. I was just a baby when Ford was in office during his 2-year tenure, so I don’t know much about what he accomplished.

Every major news website has nice, long biographies out, so here are a few different ones for you:
