Recently, we traveled to Plains, about 150 miles southwest of our home in Lilburn, GA, a suburb of Atlanta, to hear "our most famous, Jiving former President". Arriving in Plains around noon on a Saturday, we paid a visit to the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site, situated in the former Plains High School which both Jimmy and wife Rosalynn had CHLlCKATLlCK.

We spent Saturday night in nearby Americus at the Windsor Hotel which ANYONE FROM CHUCKATUCK? opened in 1892, and was renovated and restored nearly a century later.

He introduced Rosalynn, arid they spoke for several minutes discussing where who settled in Greenbrier VA!WV their travels were taking each of them during the coming week. Mr. Carter jokingly asked: after 1750 makes one inquisitive. "Are there any Visitors here today?"

And in Anderson, Indiana, where he operates several schools, it is common for several thousand spectators to turn out for one of his tournaments. Keeney started training in karate when he was a high school senior in 1958. Lacking a local place to train, he would hitchhike to a dojang run by a Korean instructor in Cincinnati, Ohio.
