Join us for a double program with panelists Dr. Tia Culley, Dr. Robert M. Hendershot, and Dr. Steve Marsh for a behind-the-scenes discussion about turning their upcoming book, The Ford Administration and Anglo-American Relations: Re-valuing an Interim Presidency into an original museum exhibit. Journalist Susan Page will then take the stage to discuss Queen Elizabeth II, who met with more U.S. presidents than any other person in history, and what she did with that unprecedented access.
A ribbon cutting for the new museum exhibit, "Waltzing with the Queen," and dessert reception will take place after the programs.
A book sale and signing will follow.
