ROBERT REDFORD
What a life……adventurous, insightful, inspiring, unpretentious, and purposeful.
Like so many, I grew up with Robert Redford films — both which he starred in and directed. It would be hard to pick a favorite, especially considering the indelible impact on movies and culture left by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Way We Were, The Sting, Jeremiah Johnson, The Candidate, All the President’s Men, Ordinary People, and so many others.

Very sad to hear of Norm Clarke’s death. For many years, Norm was a “must-read” daily columnist — first with the Associated Press, then the Rocky Mountain News, and for the last three decades in the LVRJ when it was once a diverse newspaper with an independent voice.

The word “great” is too often overused to the point it has no meaning.
Not in this case.
Jimmy Carter was a great man. A great father. A great husband. A great giver. A great man of his faith. A great American. A great soldier. A great believer in justice. A great man of courage. A great example of altruism and selflessness. A great man of truth worthy of our trust. A great inspiration for us all, regardless of politics.
His presidency gets a mixed grade as do all leaders in challenging times, but in retrospect he may have been exactly what America needed in the aftermath of Vietnam and Watergate when we longed to believe in ourselves again. His post-presidency defines the very essence of giving back to society and the greatness of genuine love.
What a life.
Thank you, President Jimmy Carter.
