Remembering Gerald R. Ford

He's the only president I ever saw in person (though I hope I've now met a future one). As he was leaving the mall, a group of school kids were yelling over and over, "THANK you Mr. PresiDENT! THANK you Mr. PresiDENT!" and "We LIKE you Mr. PresiDENT! We LIKE you, Mr. PresiDENT!"
