Jimmy Carter - October 1, 1924 – December 29, 2024 - 39th POTUS [UPDATED]

I found this online (not my words lost the quote ) apologies

"Former President Jimmy Carter, a man who redefined what a post-presidency could be, died Sunday. He was 100.

His son, Chip Carter confirmed that the former president died at his home in Plains about 3:45 p.m.

Carter, who lived longer than any other U.S. president, entered home hospice care in Plains, Georgia in February 2023 after a series of short hospital stays.

The only Georgian ever elected to the White House, Carter left office after a single term that was highlighted by forging peace between Israel and Egypt, but was overshadowed by the Iran hostage crisis. In the decades after, his reputation grew through his and wife Rosalynn Carter’s work at the Carter Center in Atlanta and his philanthropic causes such as Habitat for Humanity.

“People will be celebrating Jimmy Carter for hundreds of years. His reputation is only going to grow,” Rice University history professor Douglas Brinkley wrote in his book “The Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter.”


Why here? He was a music fan and known Bob Dylan fan (they met several times) and Bobby appeared to endorse him, was my memory 

the real deal





Can’t we have more Presidents like this guy?
Please!
Sad to report Jimmy Carter’s death at the grand age of 100
looks like we won’t see his like again . . . . . . .
