Many kids of famous folks seem to have problems & others seem to do well. I think factors of faith are important but not all kids embrace it. I wasn't aware of any of the Gore children & their outcomes. So far Jenna & Barbara seem to be doing very well. The Nixon girls seem okay (except for the couple year estrangement they had over their dad's library). Johnson girls? Chelsea? well, remains to be seen what she will do/become. Amy Carter? she seems to have disappeared into the woodwork
Maybe this would be a good thread for me to work up,huh>?
"His daughter, Amy Carter, was arrested on two occasions as a student activist. She was later dismissed from Brown University for academic reasons."
Children/grandchildren of President Carter
"John William "Jack", was born July 3, 1947 in Portsmouth, VA. His son, Jason James Carter, was born August 7, 1975, and daughter, Sarah Rosemary was born December 19, 1978.
Jack is married to Elizabeth Brasfield of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Her children are John and Sarah Chuldenko. James Earl "Chip", was born April 12, 1950 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His son, James Earl IV, was born February 25, 1977, and daughter, Margaret Alicia was born September 23, 1987. Chip is married to Becky Payne.
Donnel Jeffrey "Jeff", was born August 18, 1952 in New London, CT. He married Annette Jene Davis of Arlington, GA. They have three children:
Joshua Jeffrey (b. May 8, 1984)
Jeremy Davis (b. June 25, 1987) James Carlton (b. April 24, 1991)
Amy Lynn Carter was born October 19, 1967 in Plains, GA. She married James Gregory Wentzel of Herndon, VA. Their son, Hugo James Wentzel, was born July 29, 1999."
As I recall, seeing a write-up/photo of their wedding, Amy's hubby was a hippy type, and she an "art student."
Wore a young girlish gauzy white gown, simple crown of flowers on her head, and I had the impression she *might* have been barefoot for the ceremony...
President Carter, at Amy's urging, wrote a children's book entitled Little Baby Snoogle-flejer (1995) based on stories he told his children when they were young.
Amy when in college asked him to write them, and illustrated the book as an art project.
It was later performed as a children's play.
One son, Jack, recently was on TV with his Dad, running for the U.S. Senate in Navada, where he lives.
"Carter said he decided to run in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He said he was offended by the federal government's response to the disaster."
"I'm more concerned than ever with the way that the country is headed," Carter said."
