Steve Ford
On August 9, 1974 Gerald R. Ford assumed the reins of the presidency
following the resignation of Richard Nixon. Suddenly, Steve Ford was
thrust into the role of "First Son". Steve's unique perspective on life
as the President's son encompasses a broad range of fascinating
subjects: being 18 years old and having 10 Secret Service agents as
constant companions...his father's pardon of President Nixon to help put
an end to the infamous Watergate affair...two assassination attempts on
his father's life...his mother's bouts with alcoholism and breast
cancer. During Steve's non-political presentation, you will learn the
tools of his success in and outside Washington, DC. With a focus on such
issues as the value of a strong family unit, living life with values and
character, setting and juggling priorities, and making the right choices
in life, Steve's presentation is entertaining.
