 | | James Earl Carter, Jr., was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, a tiny farming community of 600 people. |
 | | Jimmy Carter worked on the farm, but he had an uncle in the United States Navy who sent him postcards from exotic ports, so as a boy he dreamed of attending the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. |
 | | He was the first member of his family ever to go to college, starting at Georgia Southwestern College in 1941 for a year, followed by a year at the Georgia Institute of Technology. |
