Bob Greene : Jimmy Carter was a former peanut farmer from Plains , Georgia , a former Navy nuclear submariner with a 100-watt smile and high ambitions.

Greene: As a young reporter in the Chicago Tribune's newsroom in 1976 , he was announced by a copy clerk as "that governor from Georgia who thinks he can run for president" He says Carter 's post-presidency stands out for most Americans as a model of modest and selfless public service.

Greene says he remembers him most for advancing causes of peace, civil rights and aid to the underprivileged.

All five living presidents were seated together at the inauguration ceremony.

Perhaps that spirit of goodwill is contagious — even in Washington .

"Time and again, I saw in him the ability to achieve diversity by the personality and upbringing," says Young .

"He went out of his way to embrace those who grew up in all kinds of conflict," he says.
