Several years ago I had the opportunity to not only meet him, but sit and talk to him at a Party for about 20 minutes, one on one....
He is an incredible human being. He is so earnest and sincere when he talks to you, it's like his presence surrounds you with peace and goodness. I told him I highly respected him, his work with Habitat and other projects and he asked if I had any ideas on how it could be better...........I also told him that I was still angry over HW & Cheney corruptly defeating him in 1980. He just smiled.........
Everyone on earth would be a much better person if they got the chance to meet him. He is everything you can imagine and more.
I am certainly glad he has lived a long life, because this world is a lot better with him in it...........

I didn't remember his politicizing his Military experience during his campaigning. Did you know he was a Military Submarine Commander?????? I sure didn't......

Stay safe and be well.......
