What an inspiration for living a life of service. I was a college student during his presidency and I must admit, I was a pretty unaware person. As I have since followed his retirement career the last 40 years I truly found a role model for living a good better best life. Habitat is a wonderful legacy that he leaves. I am a proud supporter of Habitat for Humanity physically and financially.

In summer of 2004 I took my high school/college age choir to Americus, Georgia, to work on a Habitat for Humanity build. We helped with construction of a community center there. And WOW was it hot!! We also did numerous concerts in the area. On Sunday we did a concert at President Carter's church and had the privilege of meeting him and Millard Fuller. What a once-in-a-lifetime occasion for all of us! We felt so honored that both of these great men would be present for us.

Three decades ago, a Vietnam Veteran told me that Jimmy Carter had founded a great NGO to help people build their own homes. He was not quite accurate, but his notion led me to work with Habitat. It was the highest honor to witness the kindness, humility and faith of President and Mrs. Carter building homes in Haiti in 2011 and 2012. God bless him and grant him peace.

I was 15 years old when the Carter-Torrijos Panama Canal treaty was signed. I remember my sister’s husband driving us to the top of Cerro Ancon that night. The large American flag that for years sat atop the highest point in the city, was being replaced by an equally large Panamanian flag. It was such a moment of pride at being Panamanian. Thank you Mr. Carter; what an incredible human being.

Do we remember him as “Jimmy”, or “Mr. President”? Fortunately we can remember him as both: a down-to-earth, down-home fellow who was our neighbor and friend, even if we never got to meet him, and our elected leader of the free world, if only for four short years. We're also fortunate that he and Rosalynn elevated the exposure and success of Habitat For Humanity to make it a household name.

My first Carter Works project was in 2005 in Michigan. I was part of a large contingent of Willow Creek church members. President Carter gave some opening remarks & afterwards met the attendees. I was able to shake his hand. I felt honored while he was very proud of the crowd assembled. One of his sons came to Grand Rapids to bless the 4 homes we'd built. That week over 200 homes were built.

My parents had a story they loved to tell though not a Habitat story. They had driven as octogenarians to Plains to see where they lived. As luck would have it, they drove by the Baptist church and Mom made Dad stop as she needed to use the facilities. She saw Rosalynn raking leaves and asked her if it would be all right. She said, “Go right in and Jimmy will show you where.” Highlight of their trip
