Geral Ford and Chevy Chase

Chevy Chase wrote a great peice in the NY Times saturday about his friends Gerald and Betty Ford. Betty Ford inspired Chevy to kick his own drug dependency. Chevy and Gerald appear to have shared quite a close friendship.

I highly recommend:

Here is an exerpt: while their wives, Betty and Jayni, were struggling to get a VCR system to work Chevey suggested he and Gerald should pitch in. Gerald replied:

“No, no, Chevy. Don’t even think about it. I’ll probably get electrocuted, and you’ll be picked up and arrested for murder.”

Precious.
