Irene Townsend, who came from Charlottesville, Virginia, said she voted for Carter decades ago and admired him for his character.

A wonderful day to be snowed in, such a rarity in this neck of the woods.
Gerald Ford's son is reading a eulogy his father had written for Jimmy right now. What a wonderful friendship they enjoyed.

Imagine was written by a religious skeptic, John Lennon, but Lennon and Carter shared a commitment to world peace, the brotherhood of man, and human rights.
Well….yes, but Carter was a deep man of faith.
