I met them once, by accident, while returning my ski rental gear to the shop in the base of the Snowbird lodge. She was friendly and kind, and ribbed me a bit. I'd recently read President Carter's book on aging [0] and, being ~20 years ago, it was too soon for me to be reading that kind of thing.
[0] 'The Virtues of Aging', Jimmy Carter.
- dboreham 3y agoI also met her, about 20 years ago. Boarding an RJ, bumped to 1st, I was in row 1 putting my bag into the overhead. An older guy in seat 2A stands up, reaches his hand out over the seat back towards me saying "pleased to meet you, I'm Jimmy Carter". I shake his hand but think "yeah and I'm the queen of Sheba". He didn't really look like him. But then I notice the woman sitting next to him is Rosalynn. I think well the chances of some crazy guy who thinks he's Jimmy Carter also sitting next to Rosalynn Carter are pretty low. She looks at me with a look like "yep he's Jimmy Carter". Secret service came on the plane before we deplaned and ushered them off into a waiting limo.
