Celebrating the extraordinary life of President Jimmy Carter.

Stephenson County-
Carter was quite possibly the most honorable man to ever have that office.

Carter is the only president I’ve seen in person. He was at a rally in Daley Plaza in 1980 during his ill-fated campaign against Reagan. Jane Byrne introduced him with remarks dripping in sarcasm.
She knew Carter was going to lose but couldn’t even put on a show of supporting her party’s nominee. Carter’s speech was not memorable. He looked like he couldn’t wait to get out of there.
RIP to Jimmy.

I heard Carter speak at an American Bar Association event, probably in 1976, before the election, and was truly impressed.
Still am.

Rest in peace President Carter.
I still grate when he is referred to as a peanut farmer. The guy was a nuclear physics expert, having attended Georgia Tech and the Naval Academy. He served as the senior officer on the Navy’s second nuclear submarine, hand-picked by Admiral Rickover.
He was so much more than a peanut farmer.

It’s how he marketed himself.
