Four decades before presiding over the world’s most powerful nation, Gerald R. Ford gained invaluable experience on national football powers at the University of Michigan. In terms of Chief Executive endorsements, this one is quite unusual in that the medium portrays Ford in his gridiron endeavor. This 16x20 black-and-white photo depicts the linebacker/center during his tenure in Lansing. In blue marker, Ford has signed the piece (“8-9” strength, signed “Gerald R. Ford”). Preceding the signature, Ford has penned a personalization and inscribed “U. of M. National Champions 1932 + 33 – Team MVP-1934 – 38th President.” Full photo LOA from JSA.
