Brooklyn Heights resident and artist Michael Deas is the creator of a new U.S. postage stamp honoring President Gerald R. Ford. On Friday, the 38th president's widow, Betty, unveiled it in a ceremony near her home in Palm Desert, California while her son Michael held an event in Ford's hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Deas has also created stamps honoring Marilyn Monroe, Humphrey Bogart and Ronald Reagan.
