Jimmy Carter was my official first pres though I was 4 when we immigrated. Was walking past tv and saw that big smile, I was entranced. I looked at his eyes and he was so kind, I felt that a 4 yr old, of course didn't know the word for it. Then a bit later I looked at Regan, suffice it to say, it was not the same. Thats all I'll say of that man on this thread.
I have perked my ears each time Carter made the news, lifelong.
I am sorry for such a soul energy to leave us here, but am so glad he got his wish to vote. You made it Jimmy! May his memory always be a blessing. Rest in peace and power Mr, Carter from Georgia.
