The conversation came rushing back to me sometime between the Carter grandchildren's heart-tugging memories and Andrew Young's magisterial closing eulogy Thursday during the funeral for President Jimmy Carter.
They say, people say, etc often a prelude to disinformation. The lesson is to query the speaker as to who "they" are speaking. This is one of my strongholds for truth. Mr Burns via Doug shares a good fact checking lesson.
This is a great commentary on modern day politics and journalism. Also loved the personal story with your dad and the Carters!
Great column! Says a lot about Jimmy Carter and your Dad.
What a terrific column - and important lesson! Well done!
Thanks for your insights regarding Jimmy Carter and his son.
So sad those days are over for Iowa, but a beautiful story. Thank you!
Great writing and story as usual. Also, the insight into the father's and son's was endearing
A very insightful memory pertinent to the world situation today. Well done, DOUG.

Wow. Great photo. And if you ever hear me “they say” anyone, give me a thwack on the head!
