trivia—Gerald Ford’s first speech as President was to the national ffa convention and was nationally televised. Traditionally the FFA got the VP so he was scheduled to be there before Nixon resigned. Rockefeller spoke the year i was there—non event—we were much more interested in Tanya Tucker who had her first big hit “Delta “Dawn” out at the time. I remember Johnny Bench, Bob Dole and Colonel Sanders being there too
