To the editor: Pleased a centesimal birthday, former President Jimmy Carter!
Thanks for dedicating your complete grownup life to the service of our nation. Most of all, thanks for reminding us {that a} practising Christian is one who loves God, feeds the hungry, shelters the homeless, heals the sick, welcomes the stranger, visits the imprisoned and loves his neighbor, even the “least” amongst us.
Please pray that the US is blessed with extra leaders such as you.

The governor was a person named Jimmy Carter.
Throughout our go to with the governor, I used to be so impressed together with his questions, his curiosity and his persona, that once we left I discussed to his aide that Carter, who jogged my memory of John F. Kennedy, ought to run for president.
Answered the aide in his Southern accent, “He’s thinkin’ of that.”
