Chris, you still need me as an editor. You said Nellie Tayloe Ross would outlive Jimmy Carter by one year, which means you're predicting her death to be in late 2025 at which point she would be 149 years old - had she not died in Dec 1977. I believe what you meant was that she died when he'd been president for a year.
While Carter may not have been the most impactful president in history, he certainly set the bar for post-presidency humanitarian activity, as you noted. His legacy is untarnished.
As usual, this edition was informative, entertaining, and clever! Happy 2025 to you and Anonymous! I'm hopeful that it won't be as bad as I'm expecting it to be.
January 15 is Jack Hastings birthday
Thanks for the reminder. Dolores!

Thanks, Joanne! Do I have your personal email? Send it to me at chris@okayhistory.com.
Let's figure something out! I have ideas.
Happy New Year!
He was President when I was born (July 1980), and I have never forgotten him just for that. RIP James Earl Carter, Jr.
Uh, my Brother, Friend and Comrade Chris.
Cleveland won a World Series in 1948. They’ve only won 2. Please don’t cut their “accomplishments” in half! 😁
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ANONYMOUS AND YOURSELF!
Yikes. I need a good night sleep.
Happy new year, brother!
