Dec 29

those of us who lived through so many events, President Carter weathered them all with us.

Compassion. Integrity, Empathy, and Joy all come to mind. His legacy is one to be admired, particularly now.

Stay the course, my friends. Using Jimmy as a guiding light, we too shall prevail over the storm.
