Jack Ford (b. 1952) was part of the founding staff of OUTSIDE magazine in 1977. He later co-founded a business services company, California Infoplace.

 

Here, at age 23, he is pictured with Bianca Jagger during a visit Bianca and Andy Warhol paid to the White House in 1975. The picture appeared in the September 1975 issue of Warhol's INTERVIEW magazine:

Herbert Clark Hoover, Jr. (1903 – 1969) was an engineer, businessman and politician. He served as U.S. Under Secretary of State from 1954 to 1957.

 

In 1929, Western Air Express, Boeing and American Airways formed a non-profit corporation, Aeronautical Radio Inc. to serve as the airline industry’s single licensee and coordinator of radio communication outside of the government. Hoover, Jr. was chosen as the first president of Aeronautical Radio Inc., a selection that led to TIME magazine putting him on its July 14, 1930 cover.

I am reading 'Eunice' about Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Sargent Shriver was the Democratic Party vice presidential candidate in 1972.

Their four sons were quite handsome when young. Eunice started many important program, but a huge sense of entitlement (the book is worth reading for her antics).

Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Sr. (1853-1935) was an educator, genealogist and historian. The 17th president of the College of William and Mary, he was a son of President John Tyler's second marriage. Born when his father was in his 60s, Lyon Tyler had sons from his second marriage when he was in his 60s, two of whom (born in 1924 and 1928) are still alive.

 

In other words, a president born in 1790, has grandchildren alive in 2018.

Robert Todd Lincoln (1843-1926), oldest of the four sons of Abraham Lincoln and the only one to live past 18, was a lawyer, businessman and politician. A captain in the U.S. Army in the closing days of the Civil War, he subsequently served in the administrations of Presidents Garfield, Arthur and Benjamin Harrison. Later in life he became president of the Pullman Car Company, retiring from that position in 1911, but serving as chairman of the board until 1922.

 

His grandson, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, who died in 1985, was the last undisputed direct descendant of Abraham Lincoln.

 

This picture of Robert Lincoln at 21 was taken in 1865, the year his father was assassinated:
