1. The airport bears his name, and now a special room filled with all things Gerald R. Ford has been dedicated at the Grand Rapids airport.
The room includes pictures from Ford's childhood in Grand Rapids, and his years of playing football at the University of Michigan. There are also historical pieces like a model of the world's largest U.S. naval aircraft carrier, which also bears president Ford's name.
The Ford family said if the former president were still here, he'd be really honored. The tribute room is near the food court, just before security.
2. Graduates of Calvin College have come up with a super easy way for the elderly to easily get to and from appointments by creating a new transportation system called "Peace of Mind."
Not only does it transport patients to and from appointments, they also have the option to have a registered nurse travel with them to record what happens during appointments and make sure they understand medical procedures and information.
The service just launched this week, and people interested can learn more at peaceincllc.com.
