President Gerald R. Ford

With the passing of Former President Gerald Ford, the only Michiganian to ever become president, you might be interested in a publication that gives kids some information about the life of this leader. Go to the Michigan History magazine website and download the Gerald Ford issue of The Mitten for free. (Sorry, they no longer have copies to sell.) Scroll down to almost the bottom of the page, in the pink section, this is where you’ll find President Ford’s info. Don’t forget to d/l the teacher’s supplement also.
