Yes, but she's not made copies available to ME, despite me asking

Life is a minestrone
Wow....Secret Service Agent?!?? How cool it must have been to have a Dad like that. They'd make some wonderful scrapbook pages....if only you could get your hands on them.

What a fantastic set of photos to have, well if only you had them that is !
Can't you ask one of the family to scan the ones your Mum has. A fantastic historical record for your children/grandchildren in years to come.
I know where you're coming from though. My Brother has most of our family photos, including most of my childhood photos and it's like trying to get blood out of a stone to get copies from him too.So annoying !!

Brilliant photos, what a pity your Mum hasn't had copies done for you. I hope you get some in time.

OOooooh what fabby pages you could make with those... with background music from the Bodyguard!! Whilst I can see the reasoning of one person being the 'keeper of the family photos' it would be nice if they would at least scan them and pass them around or have copies made for other family members. I am lucky because I have become the 'chosen one' because I scrapbook and my DH does geneology which means that we end up with boxes of the stuff... now to just stay in UK for a while and be able to do something with them would be great!

He can find me in the moonlight anytime
I have a similar challenge - when my gran died my uncle took all the maps my grandfather did of the trenchs from WW1, and all the other paraphanelia - despite asking several times for copies I am not allowed, apparently they are too precious to be touched...well I believe these things shoudl eb treasured and enjoyed and if they arent going to preserve and share them that what use is keeping them
sorry didnt mean to shanghi your thread
what super photos - I hope you get copies

You could try contacting the museum staff and ask if it's possible for them to email copies of the pictures to you.
Gerald R. Ford Library
1000 Beal Avenue
Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Telephone: (734) 205-0555
Fax: (734) 205-0571
Staff Directory Gerald R. Ford Museum
303 Pearl Street NW
Grand Rapids, MI 49504-5353
Telephone: (616) 254-0400
Fax: (616) 254-0386
The staff will no doubt be used to people asking and the fact that your dad was actually staff might help your request.
Hope you manage to get copies, they would be great to have.

Wow MA what a treasure trove there. I would be so upset about not getting copies either (I've faced similar procrastination with my own mum passing me photos from my own childhood, but we've just got there this year!). I agree about contacting the library, definitely would be a great story to tell.

Slave to Robbie Robo!
They are amazing, and would make an incredible scrapbook. There must be some way of you getting copies for yourself.

you could always try the nagging approach. You do need to get these photos after all
