| From President Gerald Ford's daily diary, September 18, 1976 |
September 18, 1976 (36 years ago today): Several Bowie children and parents visited the White House to participate in the filming of a President Ford campaign commercial. According to President Ford's daily diary, the children included Rochelle Brown, John Clese, Darcy Hirshfeld, Shaun Sullivan, Laura Weintraub, John Hogan, Peter Muldoon and Karen Stonebreaker. A separate taping session was held with a group of senior citizens, but they were not from Bowie. Filming took place in the Oval Office. The President met with the children, parents and senior citizens in the Roosevelt Room following the filming.
Although several of President Ford's campaign commercials are available on the Internet, none of the on-line videos appear to be from this taping session.
Several still pictures were taken during the meeting by presidential photographer William Fitz-Patrick. Full sized images can be purchased from the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library. Low resolution versions of the pictures are included below.
