REUTERS - Ford Hopes Integrity Will Be His Legacy Gerald Ford turned 90 on Monday and said he hopes to be remembered for restoring honesty and integrity to the American presidency. Ford joins John Adams, Herbert Hoover and Ronald Reagan as the only former presidents to become nonagenarians. "I hope and trust historians 50 years from now will say President Ford restored integrity and honesty in the White House and say he solved the problems in Vietnam, the Watergate mess and the economy," he told the Hartford Courant in a recent telephone interview from his home in Beaver Creek, Colo. Ford was hospitalized in May after becoming dizzy while golfing in California. "I'm still playing golf. I'm still a nine-holer — my legs can't handle 18 very well," he said with a laugh.
