Jimmy Carter and I shook elbows when I graduated from college in 1971. He was not President yet, but he [View all]
was 6 months into his governorship.
It was a big stage with hundred of graduates.
I -- suffering from severe anxiety -- limped across the stage reached out for Carter's extended hand, but I missed it and got his elbow. He just grinned that big watermelon eating grin and shook my elbow too.
