Susan Elizabeth Ford Bales (born July 6, 1957) is an American former chair of the board of the Betty Ford Center for alcohol and drug abuse. Ford is the youngest child and only daughter of former U.S. President Gerald Ford and former First Lady Betty Ford. She was one of three people targeted for violence by the Symbionese Liberation Army and had Secret Service protection well before her father became president. As a teenager attending the Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland, she held her senior prom, for the class of 1975, in the East Room of the White House. She served as official White House hostess when her mother was hospitalized for breast cancer. Ford enrolled in Mount Vernon College for Women (now part of the George Washington University) in northwest Washington, D.C. in 1975 when her father was in the White House. She later transferred to the University of Kansas for the spring semester of 1977. In recent years and in addition to her responsibilities at the Betty Ford Center, Ford has been very active on behalf of her parents and the Ford family at numerous events throughout the US. That was particularly so during the December 26, 2006 – January 3, 2007 state funeral services and ceremonies for her father. During that period, she attended each of the services and ceremonies with her mother, and over the course of several days personally greeted mourners while President Ford's casket lay-in-state on the Lincoln Catafalque in the Capital Rotunda and during the public repose at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She read a passage from the Letter of James during the funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral, and her daughter Tyne Berlanga offered one of the Prayers during the funeral service at Grace Episcopal Church in Grand Rapids. In addition, on January 1, she assisted her mother in receiving dignitaries and other official visitors who had come to the President's Guest House (a.k.a. "Blair House") to pay their personal respects. On January 16, 2007, Susan Ford spoke at a Naming Ceremony at the Pentagon. At the ceremony, the aircraft carrier CVN-78 was officially named the Gerald R. Ford. That same day Secretary of the Navy Donald Winter announced that Ford had been named the carrier's ceremonial sponsor. On November 14, 2009, Ford participated in the keel laying for the ship. On June 11, 2007, she delivered remarks in Washington, D.C., at the ceremony unveiling the U.S. Postal Service's image of the commemorative stamp honoring President Ford. In July 2007, Ford represented her mother at the funeral service of former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson. Also in July 2007, she and her husband Vaden Bales represented Mrs. Ford and the Ford family at the naming of the Gerald R. Ford Post Office in Vail, Colorado. On November 9, 2013, she christened the Gerald R. Ford with a bottle of champagne The ship was commissioned as USS Gerald R. Ford on July 22, 2017, with Ford Bales in attendance to give the order, "Man our ship, and bring her to life."
