Presidential honors

Hundreds witnessed the recent dedications of the Gerald R. Ford commemorative stamp at ceremonies at the Palm Desert, CA, McCallum Theatre and Grand Rapids, MI, Gerald R. Ford Presi­dential Museum.

“President Ford would be so grateful for the magnificent honor that the Postal Service has created in tribute to his decades of service to the American people,” said Betty Ford, the former first lady. “The stamp wonderfully portrays his strength, warmth and compassion. My family and I are filled with pride and gratitude for this remarkable tribute to our beloved husband, father and grandfather.”
