To the editor:
Happy 100th birthday President Jimmy Carter. Unlike many former presidents before and after him, he didn't upon retirement enrich himself by joining corporate boards or giving $500,000 speeches.
His volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity, including playing a leadership role of such a great humanitarian organization, will preserve his place in history.

Yes, Larry Penner. I would even say that Jimmy and Roslyn Carter are modern day saints for their sacrifice and hard work for the less fortunate. That kind of sacrifice doesn't come naturally. There must have been days and weeks when the Carters wanted to just take a break and rest, but they never stopped trying to help people who were in need.
