I stand corrected. Gerald Ford's father was Leslie Lynch King. Lynch was his paternal grandfather, I think. I don't think we should underplay the nurture side of people since Pres. Ford certainly thought so much of his adoptive father that he chose his name (and all of it) over that of his genetic father. I was addressing the maternal line, so I trust my error did not confuse anyone. [email protected] wrote: > I thought Gerald Ford ws born Leslie King, Jr.
