So . . One of my goals in life was to meet a President, whether it be a present one or a past. I had heard on the news a few days about that Past President Jimmy Carter was doing a book signing with his new book, "Peace in the Holy Land". I wanted to go so badly. Tommy and I stood in line for a little over an hour. It was so cold out side and the line didn't seem like it was going anywhere, but as soon as the line made it inside the bookstore, it seemed to be over before we knew it. Turns out the bookstore had not anticipated the turn out of people and basicly was pushing books through a line for President Carter to sign. Unfornitly, we all were unable to shake hands or take personal pictures with him, but was still exciting to be as close as we were. He looked great as he stood up and waved hello to the crowd. It was an expericance that had me in "aww". So many different people for all different cultures. We spoak t0 the people standing in line with us and their passion for him being one of the "Great Americans of all time" seemed to be in the air.
