 Mr. Ford is an affable, bald-headed, older black gentleman with a fast, marble-mouthed manner of speech.This, combined with his short-tempered intolerance for all who do not understand him directly, makes Mr. Ford a difficult character to comprehend and abide.He is, however, a straightforward communicator, able to say whatever is on his mind; and able to say it with impunity to whomsoever he is speaking.
