Carter celebrates 85th birthday, museum re-opening

It took five months of dismantling and reconstructing, $10 million of private donations and tweaks that lasted into the early morning hours, but finally, the newly renovated Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum was ready to open Thursday.

Museum Director Jay Hakes, Mayor Shirley Franklin, Gov. Sonny Perdue, Vice President Walter Mondale and the Rev. Joseph Lowery were on stage to celebrate the occasion with Rosalynn Carter and her husband of 63 years, former President Jimmy Carter.

Behind them, the only presidential library in the Southeast, one with new interactive exhibits and information to update visitors about “the greatest former president that ever lived,” Lowery said.

Hundreds of people gathered for the reopening Thursday, and to celebrate Jimmy Carter’s 85th birthday. The Georgia native cut the ribbon on the new museum, listened to a crowd sing-along of “Happy Birthday to You” and welcomed everyone to wander the new exhibits for free for the day.

2. I've always loved Mr. and Mrs. JC...
If we'd stayed on the path he set us on, we'd be energy independent by now.

11. Those traits were his undoing as a president and his strongest virtues as a man.
That's a sad commentary on our human condition.

12. May You Stay... Forever Young
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

15. I can understand why someone would say that
He's quite a man, indeed.
