Betty Ford (*April 8, 1918)
She was the founder of the Betty Ford Alcohol & Drug Rehab Center (www.bettyfordcenter.org). Their mission is to provide effective alcohol and other drug dependency treatment services, including programs of education and research to help women, men and families begin the process of recovery.
She became the US First Lady in 1974 when her husband Gerald Ford became US President after the resignation of President Richard Nixon. In 1978 Betty Ford's family staged an intervention and forced her to confront her own alcoholism and addiction to opioid analgesics and seek treatment. After her recovery, she established in 1982 the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California.

hi fordbrothers,
i think it's great what you guys are doing, i'm a great admirer of your flashes of genius. and you're good looking. that makes you even more attractive. i want to add a link to a photo of betty bloomer (maiden-name of betty ford). it shows her in 1938 as a young girl
dancing with an unidentified young women who is dressed up like A CLOWN. Discovering this image was a really disturbing experience for me.
