SKU
GRF454
Set of two official White House cards produced by the Gerald Ford administration acknowledging well wishes from Americans to President Ford's announcement that the First Lady Betty Ford had been diagnosed with malignant breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy while Gerald Ford was President. The unfortunate event was often credited as raising awareness of breast cancer, especially in future years when Mrs. Ford aggressively supported Breast Cancer related charities.
There are two different worded cards, one with the printed signature of Gerald Ford and the other the printed signatures of Betty Ford and Gerald Ford. Note that neither card specifically mentions Breast Cancer, just "illness".
This is part of a large group of these cards we recently acquired from an individual whose relative worked for the government in Washington, D.C. at the time. All the cards have the gold embossed presidential seal at the top and are in mint condition. The cards measure 6" x 3 1/2
Details
Acknowledgement and Thank You Cards have been regularly produced by White House administrations for decades. It is widely acknowledged that the Nixon Administration took this to an extreme level by producing a multitude of different cards for various occasions, including such events as a youngster obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout.
