  • 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.

    I had the honor of working with President Carter and Mrs. Carter for nearly 8 years with Habitat for Humanity International on projects all over the world, several times on his crew. He is the hardest working person I have ever met, and literally could build circles around all of us. A great mind, humanitarian, and gentleman to say the least. All that is painfully absent most of the time these days. If we could all be just a little more like Jimmy, the world would be a far better place... I remember those days with a smile and a tear, and will do my best to live each day just a little more like him - an impossible task, but a worthy effort... What an incredible soul!

      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.
