Lana and I had the chance to attend "Dinner With a Champion" in Longview on Saturday night, March 24th. The event was a benefit for the Sabine Valley Center Foundation and Steve Ford was the featured speaker. Steve is the son of late president Gerald Ford and a working Hollywood actor. However, after a challenge from his nieces, he has been putting a lot of his acting projects on hold so that he can speak to young people all over the nation about making good choices and investing in a sound future. Steve told a great story about how his dad found out that he was President Nixon's choice for VP when Spiro Agnew stepped down. Nixon called from the White House on the Ford's private home line, which had only one extention. When President Ford answered the phone he told Nixon that he'd have to call back on the family line so that Betty could listen in. LOL! What a great story!
