Good bye Mr. President

Recommended Posts

Good Day,

 

O.K., this is not a fly fishing post per se. But thought a few of you may appreciate the photos. All were taken by me at various times today during the processions and ceremonies involved with the laying to rest of President Ford here in Grand Rapids, Mi.

The museum that bears his name and is his final resting place.

 

The actual grave site will be under military guard for another day or two according to local media. After that time I may be able to get a photo of that as well to include into the post.

 

It was amazing throughout the day to see the incredible numbers of people who lined the streets! Many, many more than I have seen for any other "presidential" visit over the years. Just on the Bridge Street bridge alone there had to be thousands! God bless you Gerry!
