I was a little girl during the Ford administration. My mother and I were shopping one day and I loved wearing buttons, so she bought me a WIN button. I was too young to know what it meant. I thought it just meant you should win at whatever you did. I was 5 or 6. I still have the button, its blue with white letters.

I never had a button, but we have WIN theme for christmas for a couple of years!! Several family members were laid off and couldn't afford to buy christmas gifts, so we had a dollar gift exchange and called it our WIN christmas. It was lots of fun because I still remember it 30 years later!

Whip Inflation Now!

I remember those and I remember the long gas lines from the '70's and only being allowed to get gas on certain days based on your license plate numbers. Ugh, what fun.

I still have a WIN button, a Ford campaign poster, and a President Ford bumper sticker.

I always thought he was a great man in a tough job at a terrible time.
