Photo: Happy birthday, Mr. President

At the corner where the new home of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy will stand, staff members and students pose for a birthday card photo for alumnus President Ford, who turned 91 on July 14. The northeast corner of Hill and State streets will be the site of the Joan and Sanford Weill Hall, named for Ford's longtime friends, who gave $5 million to support construction of the building that will house the school. Another $2 million came from the Annenberg Foundation. All of the money has been raised for the building, says Beth Johnson, director of development and alumni relations for the Ford School. "We're waiting for the bulldozers to arrive any day now," Dean Rebecca Blank (front row, fifth from left) wrote in the card. (Photo by Martin Vloet, U-M Photo Services)
