Dinner with President Gerald Ford and Maureen at Gasthof Graumsheimer, Vail, 1970. His staff sent Jake this photo and he took it to the National Ski Convention, Las Vegas a month later.

Jake asked Pres. Ford to sign the photo from Vail. Japanese journalists were amazed that he had a photo processed instantly! Jake says it is this "new German camera technology!" Only later do they notice the tie-vs polo neck difference and hence the photo was from a month earlier from a dinner at Vail!
