What a memory -- thanks for sharing it with us. I agree--that even if we didn't agree on policies, we could agree that integrity and honesty mattered when we were making our choices at the ballot box then. (And I equally lament that is not the case now.)

Thanks, John, for sharing your glimpse into the life of the late President Jimmy Carter. I liked him as a man, president, and philanthropist, especially his work with Habitat for Humanity and eradicating the guinea worm in Africa. May he be a role model for peace, decency, and selfless giving, all much needed in the world.
