The Carters in Plains in 1976

 

In November 1976, the weekend after Jimmy Cartee was elected President Anna and I left our infant child Rocky with his grandparents and we drove to Plains, Ga.  To take pictures.  We did not see Jimmy but did see his brother Billy and mother Mrs. Lillian.

The pictures were publishe in th book JIMMY CARTER IN PLAINS, THE PRESIDENTIAL HOMEDOWN  

BY Robert Buccellato, pictures by Charles Plant and mee.

Here are the ones I took:

Billy Carter shot me a bird.  I missed photographing it.  I don't blame him, I was almost in his face.

I must ad that Miss Lillian was very congenial and friendly until a lady almost hugged her.  Miss Lillian bitterly said something like, "No hugging!!"  Once a nurse, always a nurse.
