Pa Kent was lovely but I'll never forget The Blackboard Jungle. Rough film and beautifully done. I heard from a friend around 98 that Mr. Ford was really quite badly off from a few strokes. This friend is close with Ford's son. At the time they didn't know if he would last after the last stroke. But it seems he was a tough old bird! (Ask my grandmother would say.) 90! I should live so long.

RIP Mr. Ford.
