The following photos are of some of the great folks and wonderful friends that I've had the privilege of meeting and knowing over the years.
RM with former President Jimmy Carter
I've had the honor of meeting President Carter on a couple of occasions. First, when I was returning from Moscow following a mission trip. JC was also coming back from Russia and a trip with Habitat for Humanity. He was very friendly. This pic. is when I sang for a special book signing here in St. Louis. I sang his state's National Anthem, "Georgia On My Mind."
