We had a wonderful conversation prior to getting to his point, which, was, would I consider making a $50 million contribution to the Jimmy Carter Library? Here was a man that I had not supported, had not voted for, and yet he was in my office asking for a $50 million contribution! I said to myself, and told the story many times, that Jimmy Carter, despite his image to the contrary, had an ability to think big. That's why he ran for President and others did not. As it turned out, Jimmy Carter is one of the few people who did a much better job after his Presidential term than he did during it.
