I'm asking a couple of our ping list keepers to add you to the list.

Here's a link to the latest schedule:

5:20 p.m.: Arrival ceremony at Andrews AFB.

5:35 p.m.: A motorcade takes Ford's remains to the U.S. Capitol, traveling through Alexandria in remembrance of his residence in the city as a Congressman and Vice President. The motorcade pauses at the World War II Memorial. The tribute is open to the public.

6:20 p.m.: The casket is carried up the east steps of the Capitol to the door of the House of Representatives, to honor Ford's time in Congress.

6:30 p.m.: Rotunda arrival ceremony, open to President Ford's immediate family, members and members-elect of the House and Senate, visiting heads of state and invited government officials.

7 p.m.: State funeral begins in the Rotunda.

7:30/8:20 p.m. to midnight: Ford's body lies in state until Monday night; the rotunda is open to the public. The public waiting area is located at the southwest corner of the Capitol grounds, across from the U.S. Botanic Garden.

D.C. Chapter mega ping! We'll be gathering at the World War II Memorial on 17th Street tomorrow, Saturday, at 4:30 p.m.

Bring American flags and signs bearing messages of appreciation for President Ford.

The procession will probably arrive at the WWII Mem. somewhere between 5:45 and 6:30 p.m. The weather forecast is for dry conditions with temps in the forties.
