It was all he needed to hear to know his years spent a difference. When that helping The Henry Ford restore the intricate loom to Passion working order were well worth it. “He just thought that was it,” said Christine Jeryan boy said that to Richard, as she retells her late husband’s story. “You never know if what you are doing will make a difference. he knew he was doing When that boy said that to Richard, he knew he was doing something with impact.” The Jeryans — longtime members and volunteers something with impact.” in Action at The Henry Ford — were the stewards behind the — Christine Jeryan 2008 restoration of the Weaving Shop’s Jacquard Longtime volunteers and weavers loom, which had been a static display for decades. After years of involvement with The Henry Ford, the extraordinaire inject new life into two decided to take their commitment to a more Greenfield Village’s textile collection elevated level, making a bequest to The Henry Ford and setting up the Richard and Christine Jeryan Fund for Weaving in 2015. The fund will eventually become By Jennifer LaForce a permanent endowment to support, sustain and grow the weaving program at The Henry Ford. “If you don’t institutionalize something, and the person with all the knowledge goes away, everything can be lost,” said Christine Jeryan of the multimillion- dollar legacy the couple decided to leave to The Henry Ford before Richard passed away in 2015. “We didn’t want that to happen.” And it won’t. “As an institution, we have made a commitment to our weaving program,” said Spence Medford, vice president of institutional advancement at The Henry Ford. “It will not just continue because of the gift from Richard and Chris, it will thrive.”

THE BEGINNING An accomplished engineer at Ford Motor Company for 42 years, Richard Jeryan was also a master weaver and textile artist who spent many a lunch hour in Greenfield Village. His impending retirement from Ford in the mid-2000s sparked his desire to restore the Jacquard loom. “He told me that he had to do something with the Weaving Shop,” remembered Christine. “I thought it would be a great retirement project.” It became much more than a casual retirement project. Richard did extensive research on the loom, learning about its engineering, mechanics and history. He then devised a comprehensive business plan for its restoration and presented it to The Henry Ford in 2006.

WEAVER AT WORK Volunteer Christine Jeryan regularly does demos of the Jacquard loom in Greenfield Village. Along with her time, she has donated a significant portion of her estate to The Henry Ford to further its weaving programs.
