They included Lieutenant Governor John Wilder, Deputy Governor Wendell Moore, Senator Gene Else a, Senator Doug Henry, Senator James Kyle Jr. , and Senator Randy McNally. After receiving commemorative gifts, the Fords surprised the audience with a gift to Tennessee State of $500, 000.’ This is a truly outstanding donation, and the Fords can be sure Tennessee State University will put it to good use,’ said TSU President James Hefner. There are 12 siblings in the Ford family, most of whom graduated from Tennessee State University. On hand for the presentation were brother Joe Ford; sisters Joyce Ford Miller and Ophelia Ford; nephews James Ford Jr.
and Edmund Ford; and Autumn Ford, John Ford’s daughter. Harold Ford Jr. , U. S. Representative, relayed his regrets for not being able to attend, as did Governor Don Sundquist and former vice president Al Gore.’ I am proud today,’ said Lt.
Gov. Wilder. ‘Is it because of the bricks and mortar we are recognizing today? No, though we need bricks and mortar. Is it because of Tennessee State University? No, though that is reason to be proud.’ I am proud because I look back to Purdy, Tennessee, where Otis Floyd [former president of Tennessee State University] attended school in a one-room schoolhouse. He let me walk by his side. I am proud when I think of Odell Horton [United States District Judge for the Western District of Tennessee] working in a cotton patch in Hardin County.
