Hanscom Air Force Base

And today here at Fenway Park, we've had a Salvation Army salute to the Armed Forces on Armed Forces Day.

We have already had played the playing of the National Anthem, and it was performed by the Cambridge Citadel Band with a special color guard also on hand here at Fenway Park from the nearby Hanscom Air Force Base.

Our temperature, and just a couple of moments away from game time, our temperature at game time is in the low 60s.

Um, Pr- It was on September 16th, 1974, President Gerald Ford, who I met, I shook his hand and I talked to him for at least a good 20 minutes while he was waiting for his motorcade at Hanscom Air Force Base Fire Department.

He had just flown in on his own Learjet.

And very, my first presidential election, my first vote ever was for President Ford.

Godspeed.

He's right up there as far as one of my favorite presidents because I actually met him.

I actually met him and shook his hand at the fire station, the crash house there at the fire station at Hanscom Air Force Base.

He was in the day room, the break room.
