Gerald R. Ford
On December 26, 2006, America said farewell to our 38th president, Gerald R. Ford. At 10:30 this morning a bell will sound 38 times at Washington's National Cathedral remembering Ford as the 38th president. 10:30 a.m. this morning State Offices will pause to remember Ford who led the United States from August 1974 through January 1977. We will also take a moment to reflect upon our 38th president who was the first U.S. President to take office without ever been elected president or vice president.
Gerald R. Ford will then be brought to Grand Rapids, Michigan where he grew up in which the public is free to pay their respects.
A sad farewell yet a time to reflect upon what Vice President Dick Cheney remembered Ford as, " a dear friend and mentor."
