My favorite photographs of President Gerald R. Ford (with Cheney, George Harrison, Brezhnev, Garagiola, and other Presidents)

I always liked Gerald Ford, despite the Nixon pardon, and the fact that he wasn't a great president in his 22 months there.  On the other hand, what he did have going for him was a warm disposition, and the fact that he was not Richard Nixon.  Here are some of my favorite photos of him, mostly from his Presidency. . .
