Across the country, people are remembering former President Gerald Ford, who died Tuesday at the age of 93.

Here in New Hampshire, Governor John Lynch ordered flags lowered to half-staff in Ford's honor.

Friends and political activists in the Granite State are praising the man they say brought decency back to the White House after President Nixon's resignation.

Joining in that chorus is former 1st District Representative, and Democrat, Norman D'Amours, who served in Congress during the Ford Administration.

He recalled his memories of the 38th President for NHPR's Mark Bevis.
