My Dad flew with Jimmy Carter to Germany...
He just called today, had flown out for a business trip to Germany yesterday, anyways, he ended up flying in the same plane as Jimmy Carter. Carter went up and down the entire plane shaking peoples' hand, now that is a class act! My dad was psyched, let me tell you. Now he's going to go and get smashed and then try to pass out, its 11 pm there after all, and only 4 pm here, jet lag sucks.

1. Thats really cool
Jimmy Carter is a true statesman unlike the dumbass in the White House now, did your dad get to talk to him at all? Did he say what he was going to do in Germany?

2. No, unfortunately not...
I asked my dad that and he said that after the flight, there was no real way to get near him with the Secret Service all over the place. All he got was a hand shake, me, I would have tried to get an autograph!

4. I hope your dad got to meet President Carter.
If so, lucky dad!
