📋 Jimmy Carter Turns 100: A Look Back on His Life (AARP Article)

FROM THE ARTICLE - SEE ARTICLE FOR MORE!!!

A range of tributes go out to the oldest living president – and the oldest president to ever live.

By Christina Ianzito, AARP. Published September 30, 2024.

A mere 1 percent of males born in the U.S. live to the age of 100, and none of our 45 U.S. presidents had ever done so — until now. Jimmy Carter hits the century mark on Oct. 1, a milestone that’s being met with celebrations and homages from around the country.

Carter began his long life in a very different world, to be sure. In 1924, Calvin Coolidge was president, women had only recently been given the right to vote, Ford’s Model T was the most popular car, televisions were inconceivable, and a loaf of bread cost about 9 cent2.
