Oct 4

He said that while he and his mates were working there, President Carter made them a big batch of spaghetti and meatballs and brought it down to the basement quarters they were staying at. He said ex-Navy Carter spent hours with them, just chatting and listening to their stories. The times were tumultuous, but he said Carter seemed to have found a place to relax and unwind among the sailors. Totally cool guy.

My friend died of COVID. Another totally cool guy.
