@Delta

Every time Jimmy Carter flew Delta, he shook hands with each person on the plane. Because that's who he was. Someone who treated people as people.

@arielilane Thx for your post w the vid of President Carter.

Can anyone here imagine any of President Carter's successors boarding a commercial airline flight and shaking hands w all passengers?

In office or post-term, even setting foot on a commercial passenger aircraft?
Me neither.

it was here at Websleuths where I discovered Former President Jimmy Carter entered into hospice. It definitely changed my experience with hospice -- I only knew of hospice being the last few weeks of life.

I'm glad he was able to drift away in blissful care.

His presidency began and ended before my time; I only knew him for his post-presidency acts.

Rest in Peace, Jimmy.

Nice photos of the funeral at this link


Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W Bush and Bill Clinton were seated together in the first rows of pews.
Vice-President Kamala Harris, who lost the presidential election to Trump in November, and her predecessors Mike Pence and Al Gore were also among the select group of politicians and members of the public paying their respects to Carter.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – who lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential election – was also seated with her husband.
