I've never been interested in meeting famous people. But there is one person I wish I'd met: Jimmy Carter.
He's not a saint, which is good, because saints a fanatics. He's that rarest of things—a good human being.
I've long known it was only a matter of time until we lost him. That time is rapidly approaching.
He's lived a long life. A good life. Soon ending.
I wish I'd crossed paths with him once. Even in passing. Because genuinely good people are hard to find.
@J_Windrow Totally agree.

@J_Windrow I sort of got to meet him (hand shake at least) at a literal whistle stop when he and Ford were running for president. Back then both candidates rode on the same train to stop and visit towns along the route.

He is certainly the embodiment of a good human being. Godspeed to Jimmy Carter.
