4. He just flew with the family and casket to Grand Rapids and will speak
at that ceremony which seems much more personal to me.

6. I read that they shared a disdain of Reagan
They became good friends over the years, and so did their wives.

9. I also heard that Ford himself requested that Carter speak
at the smaller, private ceremony in Grand Rapids, MI if he was able to.

10. I heard that it was a mutual pledge they made to one another . . .
They each agreed that the survivor would speak at the other man's funeral.

Nice.
