 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum was closed Wednesday, but that did not stop people from streaming here upon hearing of the former president's death.
They started coming within an hour of the announcement Tuesday night that Ford had died. They brought flags, candles, flowers and signs to create a makeshift memorial in the plaza outside the museum's front doors.
Museum officials placed condolence books in the museum's entrance and kept the vestibule open for the steady flow of visitors arriving throughout the brisk and windy day.
