"Thousands of people pass through the White House every year, and some of them are lucky enough to meet the President. If you're a celebrity the chances are good that you will. O.J. Simpson was one of the lucky ones, and brought his family along to meet a plaid-clad President Ford in the Cabinet Room in the summer of 1976 (with wife Marguerite, daughter Arnelle and son Jason who appears underwhelmed by the experience). This photo apparently was a prized O.J. posession, and was at the center of a Las Vegas heist in which he tried to recover his own memorabilia at the point of a gun. If O.J.. Simpson had just called me instead of jacking his own memorabilia he might not be in the slammer today. I would have given him a copy of the photo, and surrendered it without a fight!
