Charlie's Diary. "Peace Corps event with Jimmy Carter"

Charlie: For three+ years (1995-1998)I was HQ "Country Desk Officer" for several Peace Corps programs. Photo was from Atlanta dinner January 15, 1998 hosted by former President and Mrs. Carter for the second group of trainees to go to South Africa. Their grandson was one of the trainees.

I mentioned to the President that my former office Peace Corps Placement had invited HIS mother, Ms. Lillian to lunch at HQ. She of course had been a PCV in India. My staff did ALL THE WORK and threw a delightful potluck. (I'm still looking for some photos.) Ms. Lillian arrived with her Georgia state bodyguard/driver and was a delightful and relaxed guest.
