...museum itself, a $11 million steel and concrete triangle, prompted some to joke that there were not enough memorabilia from Ford's brief 30 months in office to hang on four walls.

The political odyssey of the Eagle Scout from Grand Rapids is represented by full-size replicas of the Oval Office and the Quonset hut from which he ran his first, successful, campaign for Congress in 1948.

The PATCO employees, along with workers in such heavy industries as steel, automobiles, petroleum refining, mining, construction, and most defense-related industries have annual incomes significantly above the U.S. median.
