The father of this unemployed “researcher.”
James (Chip) Carter III
Inducted 2001
“Chip” Carter, son of former President Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter, became President of The Friendship Force two years ago. During his father’s presidency, he represented the United States in 26 foreign countries. With his rich experience in international personal relationships, “Chip” has expanded the organization’s role through managing trips to many foreign countries. The Friendship Force specializes in short-term group homestay programs. Friendship Force “Ambassadors” travel from their home countries to foreign countries, where they are welcomed into the homes of local hosts. After sharing experiences of friendship, personal relationships are established across the barriers that separate people, and differences of language, race, creed or politics become less important. A 1992 nominee for The Nobel Peace Prize, The Friendship Force is active in more than 350 communities in 60 countries. Nearly a half-million volunteer Ambassadors and Hosts have participated through 3300 exchanges, touching the lives of more than two million people, exemplifying The Friendship Force motto: “A world of friends is a world of peace.”

All that, and still when people hear the words Carter’s kid, they think of Amy.
“....international personal relationship...”
Isn’t that what Billy Carter did with several countries as well.
a chip off the decrepid block.
Chip, his wife Caron and James IV moved into the White House after the election. Apparently it was too much for Caron and she moved out in Nov. 1978 with James IV later divorcing Chip.
Must have been quite a scene when Caron left the White House with Carter’s namesake.
Scroll to see a picture of Chip, Caron and James IV when they were living off the taxpayer’s dime.
