Farewell to President Jimmy Carter
We were saddened to learn of Jimmy Carter’s death at the age of 100 on December 29, 2024. President Carter was a friend and regular customer of Highland Woodworking for several decades. His passion for woodworking was exceeded only by the countless kindnesses he bestowed upon people throughout the world. As he entered hospice care in 2023, we celebrated his life by dedicating an issue of Wood News to President Carter, describing a few of his many interactions with our store.
