Gimme Jimmy Carter Again

What relationships have had a positive impact on you? (Jet Pack Prompt -12/30/24)

“I want the people to understand my character, my weaknesses, the kind of person I am.” (Jimmy Carter)

I  read with sadness that ex. President Jimmy Carter passed away at age one hundred yesterday. During my college years, his plain speaking, friendly manner as Chief Executive seemed to resonate with me as a believable role model to follow for how I should act with my students as a teacher. I respect him as well for being one of our few Presidents in my memory who volunteered vigorously for spread of truthful engagement of peace and  human rights causes around the world after his term ended. To honor his legacy, I’ve also taken time on our road trips to visit the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta and his home town of Plains. Thus I express my hope in the following photos that we again find leaders who portrays those positive qualities Jimmy Carter meant to me.
