I only wish people would have paid more attention to his warning about climate change. He put solar panels on the WH. Of course RR had them removed! How much better would our climate be today had we started countering the problem back then.

A blues harmonica playing scientist, Jim Allison, shared the prize for finding a way to use our immune system to fight some cancers. Carter got a drug based on that research.

Here is a link to Allison playing in his band of cancer researchers, the Checkpoints. https://www.sitcancer.org/events/event-description?CalendarEventKey=75693f4e-5f6e-4f44-b27f-443ef2f16d6e&Home=%2Feducation%2Fcalendar&utm

"The voice that conducted the opening monologue on Saturday Night Live’s season opener this weekend, actor Woody Harrelson’s, will guide viewers through the life of Houston Nobel laureate Jim Allison, Ph.D., beginning this week in the Bayou City.

“Breakthrough”—a documentary about the scientist’s race to unravel the mysteries of the immune system’s T cells in search of a new cancer-attacking tool—had its world premiere this year at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

Now, it’s coming to Houston’s River Oaks Theatre, 2009 West Gray, on Friday, Oct. 4, 2019.

The 90-minute film, released in other markets last Friday, has two special Saturday showings that will culminate with Q&A sessions featuring Allison and filmmaker Bill Haney. At this posting, tickets remained available for the 4:30 p.m. show. (The 7 p.m. is sold out.)

Allison is a researcher at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center who personally has battled three types of cancer and was motivated over the decades by the loss of relatives to the disease.

Narrated by Midland-born Harrelson with music by the legendary Willie Nelson, who hails from a town north of Waco called Abbott, the Allison-centered film creates a “holy trinity of Texas,” Haney said after the SXSW debut.

Subtitled “This Is What a Hero Looks Like,” the documentary tells a deeply Texan story laced with the Lone Star State’s culture, institutions, characters, places and music—namely country and blues.

Allison earned his degrees from The University of Texas at Austin and honed his fascination with understanding how T cells operate in the immune system at an MD Anderson science park in Smithville, Texas. The mutual admiration between Nelson and Allison appears in one of the final scenes as the immunologist—onstage with the outlaw country artist at Austin City Limits—plays “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die” on the harmonica.

Best president of my lifetime, way too good for Washington.

Isn't that the truth. Happy BIrthday kind sir

He is the one living person I would dearly love to meet, or at least be in the same room with.

Alas, that's not likely to happen, but a girl can still dream.

You can meet the Carters then, have your picture taken with them, etc. Details are on the church web site.

"In October 2019, the 36th Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project will take place in Nashville, Tennessee, where 21 families will work to build their Habitat homes alongside former President Jimmy Carter, former first lady Rosalynn Carter, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, as well as hundreds of other volunteers.

“It is such an honor to host a former President of the United States and his wife, especially such a notable couple who have done so much humanitarian work on behalf of affordable homeownership, not just in the United States but around the world,” said Danny Herron, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville. “We are excited about the opportunity to work alongside the Carters, hundreds of volunteers who may be visiting Nashville for the first time and all of the future homeowners.”

Not the best President ever but the best human being ever to hold that office.....as we endure by far the worst President and worst human being ever.

Happy 95 Jimmy Carter

I lived in Georgia when you were the Governor.
