President Ford

Gerald Ford spoke at the Sioux Falls Arena Oct. 16, 1974. I was there and I have to admit that I fell asleep during his speech.
Were you there? Did you get to shake the president’s hand? Do you have any Gerald Ford stories to tell? Please share them with us here.
Ford was president of the United States from 1974 to 1977 and was the only president who wasn’t elected to office but instead was appointed.

I was there too. I remember after his speech he walked down the street next to the Arena. A couple of us were running to where he was and a Secret Service agent told us “hey you guys, just be cool”. We ran away from him to where Ford was and I got to shake Ford’s hand.
