Jimmy Carter with Sadat and Begin

[Lilaclady]

4. Letters

Shortly after the announcement of the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty I wrote a letter to each of the gentlemen. I received a response signed by President Carter and one from a representative of President Sadat. I met Mrs. Carter in January of 1980 when she visited Rochester, NY.
I was at the event holding a six month old and a white rose. Secret Service approached me and asked if I wanted to meet the First Lady. They put me second in the greeting line, behind a young girl bringing her a bouquet. She was so gracious and asked about the baby. I sent her a note telling her how thrilled I was to meet her and I received a lovely note in return.
