GERALD R. FORD
Gerald R. Ford signs a program from the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for
the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington,
D. C.
Program signed: "Gerald R. Ford", 4p, 8x10. Program from the
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington, D. C. on July 1, 1976. On August 9, 1974, Gerald R.
Ford (1913-2006) was sworn in as the nation's 38th President following
the resignation of Richard Nixon. Ford had previously served as Nixon's Vice
President (December 6, 1973-August 9, 1974) following the resignation of
Vice President Spiro Agnew, becoming the only man to have held both of the
nation's highest offices without being elected to either. Ford, who was
previously a U.S. Congressman from Michigan (1949-1973; Minority
Leader, 1965-1973), lost his bid for election to a full four-year term
partially as a result of his controversial pardon of his predecessor. Ford, who
was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999, celebrated his
93rd birthday on July 14, 2006. Before his death on December 26, 2006, Ford had
surpassed Ronald Reagan (who also lived to age 93) as the longest-lived former
U.S. President. Lightly stained. Fine condition.
