'I Jimmy Carter, do solemnly swear.' It was those six words that kicked off a U.S. presidency, but it would be other words one Valley woman says she'll remember the most from President Carter. MORE ⬇️
TEMPE, AZ — Commander in Chief, humanitarian, peanut farmer — former President Jimmy Carter has worn a lot of hats in his 98 years.
"He's really a wonderful writer," explains Gayle Shanks, the co-owner of Changing Hands, a bookstore and Valley staple for nearly half a century."They were also books anyone could pick up and read." "He has books he has written about his faith. He has several memoirs he wrote about different phases of his life. He wrote about his relationship with his wife. He wrote a children's book with his daughter, Amy. He went the whole breadth of what we think about as good books that appeal to common people.""Each time he came, we had a huge audience for him. We had close to 3,000 people snaking around the door and in this shopping center.
"I said, 'the Secret Service is never going to let you do this' and he said, 'it's my life,' and he walked up to his Secret Service and said, 'You can walk with me but I am walking through the line,' and he walked through the store and walked around the complex, went out to his limo, and left."
