  • If you visit former President Jimmy Carter at his home in Plains, Georgia, you could be forgiven for thinking he's just an unassuming, retired gentleman keeping himself busy with hobbies like woodworking. But as Rita Braver discovers, Carter's true passion is charitable work, from the Carter Center's efforts in 65 third-world countries, to Habitat for Humanity's homebuilding. (Originally broadcast on January 29, 2006.)

    Ten years ago, Carter was signing his new book in Borders. The secret service did not allow anyone to stand before him in line for too long. When it was my turn, I asked Carter if it was true that he was still a Sunday school teacher. Carter looked up, gave me a big smile and started a long conversation with me; he was very proud of being a Sunday school teacher. I will always cherish this moment.

Today that would be a Libertarian party decision only.

      An insignificant correction. Jim Carter graduated from the Naval Academy with a BS in Engineering; he graduated with distinction. It's not clear what type of engineering. I suspect Mechanical Engineering was the only engineering major offered. He got into nuclear engineering as the executive officer on the first nuclear submarine. He received a hardship discharge after his father died suddenly and he had to take care of the peanut farm.

      Hey honestly I read this in two books about secret service agents. He was not their favorite. They loved Rosalyn. He was very competitive with them. He ignored them. Remember he commanded a nuclear sub. He was more intense. Not to take away from what he is doing now. But I read that in two books

      @@annacrenshaw1735 Maybe, I can't speak on his behalf his term ended a decade before I was born but he seems to have mellowed out since then. If that was the case though I prefer to the Carter we have now dude builds houses for people who need them its not just a photo op he's still out there with a hammer and nail. Maybe its true and he wasn't the friendliest person while president, but he seems to be fairly relaxed now.
