In Plains, residents remember the 39th US president as just a ‘regular guy’, good neighbor and Sunday school teacher
The signs, made by hand or machine, less than a meter squared or the size of a truck, were everywhere in this small town on Monday: “Thank you, Jimmy Carter.” “Home of Jimmy Carter.” And, left over from October: “Happy 100th birthday.”
Smiling portraits of the 39th president of the US were hanging around the town where he was born and raised – at city hall, in a restaurant.
