Prisident Jimmy Carter

A few years ago, on a trip through South Georgia, we stopped in Plains, the hometown of President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn. We took advantage of the opportunity to attend the church which he and his wife attend, and to visit the church for his Sunday School Class. It was interesting and informative. President Carter grew up in a solidly middle class farm home near Plains, about a mile from the Carter homestead. When President Carter was a boy, he walked up the railroad track near their home to sell boiled peanuts, among other things. He was hard working enough that, with his parents' help, he bought rental property in town while he was still in high school. The high school is now a Visitors Center for Plains. I recommend a stop in Plains if any of you ever have the chance.
