With former President Jimmy Carter at home in hospice care, many of the people he touched over his 98 years are remembering his service to others. In 1997, Judy Vicars and her husband Joe spent a week in Pike County, helping Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter and others build homes for a week-long Habitat For Humanity project. Judy said the former president was all about the work.
“Our main job was to get the houses built. He said that, if people are coming up to talk to me and ask for autographs and things, that means two people aren't working. He said, ‘I don't want to do that. We're here to work.’”
