A Son of the Rock

I didn’t mark the passing of former US President Jimmy Carter when it occurred on 29^th December, but do so here now.

In all his actions he seemed to be a thoroughly decent man, his instrumental part in the Camp David Accords testifies to that.

That acheivement apart, history might have got the better of him when he was in office – as it usually does for political office holders: events, dear boy, events – but in his long period of being a former President he has a large body of good works to be remembered by.

James Earl Carter: 1/10/1924 – 29/12/2024. So it goes.
