CAMP DAVID - SEPTEMBER 1: (NO U.S. TABLOID SALES) President Gerald R. Ford shares a laugh during a rousing tennis match with his son Steven Ford on September 1, 1974 during his first visit to Camp David in Thurmont, Maryland. Ford stepped into office as president on August 9th 1974 after the resignation of Richard M. Nixon. Despite later jokes about his clumsiness, Ford was probably the most athletic president in U.S. history. (Photo by David Hume Kennerly/Getty Images)
