This quote is from a brief biography of Gerald Ford found at this site: http://www.americanpresident.org/KoTrain/Courses/GF/GF_Life_Before_The_Presidency.htm Taking his boxing team to a match against the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, Ford met Phyllis Brown, a slim, blond, and beautiful student at Connecticut College for Women. The two fell in love and began what Ford later recalled as a 'torrid four-year affair.' She introduced Ford to skiing, the New York theater, and fashion modeling. Miss Brown soon dropped out of college to become a fashion model, and she convinced Ford to try his hand at modeling; they appeared in the winter sports edition of Look magazine in March 1940. They also made the cover of Cosmopolitan in 1942, and thereafter talked of marriage. Their ardor cooled, however, when she insisted on continuing her modeling career in New York rather than living in Grand Rapids while Gerald practiced law.
