Letters to the Editor

Godspeed, President Carter

To the Editor:

Not being particularly tearful yesterday (Dec. 29) was a terrible moment for me. It was the day that marked the passing of President Carter, a man of unsurpassed moral integrity.

In a day when moral integrity is indeed passing away, the absence of which finds us alarmingly adrift, I can recall having spoken to him on the phone for a few minutes several years after he left office, which I will always remember. Godspeed President Carter!

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
