What a legacy Mr. Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, left behind. It's wonderful that you had the opportunity to meet him in person. What a great story.

Thanks Ian. Especially today, as Americans are officially honouring his memory, I thought it was a story worth sharing.

I never expected to lead the kind of life that would include meeting and chatting with a former president. The fact that Mr. Carter was a highly principled person made it even more meaningful. I don't actually grieve his death. 100 years is plenty, and he leaves a marvelous legacy. I do make a connection to the occasion of his death, and the rise of a different kind of leadership in our world. His was one of the voices of reason, kindness, and virtue that are especially needed these days, actually always.

There is a terrible feeling of loss here, but I didn't realize there was any notice in Canada.
