Former First Lady Betty Ford Dead at 93

She was one of the great ones. She broke barriers by openly talking about both breast cancer and substance abuse; taboo subjects at the time. She appeared as herself on a memorable episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show. One of the good ones.

I still remember the absolutely bewildered look on her face as MTM steadfastly refused to believe it was her on the phone.

Bon voyage, Betty.

Agreed - may she find peace and rest.
