Gerald Ford

Not unexpected but still another passing of time when another former President of the United States leaves this Earth. Gerald Ford landed in the presidential seat at an awkward time in American and international politics. Historians will forever be covering the moment before and after his time in office but his short term as an American President should not be overlooked.



This photograph from 1975 shows President Ford discussing the American withdrawal from Vietnam with his National Security Council. Above Ford is a portrait of Teddy Roosevelt.


The photo below from 1991 is a rare gathering of the then last five American Presidents from left to right; George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon.
