RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) - Gerald R. Ford left the White House 30 years ago to retire in Southern California's celebrity desert playground.
Former Ambassador Walter Annenberg coaxed Ford, a Midwesterner, to the Coachella Valley, home to Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore and Bing Crosby, among others.
This is where President Dwight D. Eisenhower played golf in the 1950s and Ronald Reagan regularly spent New Year's Eve when he was president.
