Well...huh...

I'll start this one by saying I never actually met the man myself.

But once upon a time, about 25 years ago now, when I was young and we had first moved here to Rochester, we stayed for a couple of weeks at the University Club, since our house's previous owners weren't fully moved out yet.

And while wandering semi-aimlessly about the place looking for something to do, I came across a stash of yearbooks from, of all places, Annapolis. The US Naval Academy.

So flipping through the yearbook for the class of '46, I hit a familiar name -- my grandfather's. He was the cadet class commander. And only a few pages away from him was another familiar name and face. I showed the book to my father, asked him if that other face was who I thought it was... and it turned out I was right.

It was only a few years ago that that face had stopped being on the nightly news all the time. Because it was Jimmy Carter, former POTUS.
