Remembering President Jimmy Carter: Not your stereotypical politician

NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Jimmy Carter was not your stereotypical politician. He was a deeply religious man and more of a moral leader than a political one. I had the good fortune to interview him on three occasions and to join him at the White House to cover the final days of negotiations to get American hostages released from Iran.

My first encounter with him was in November of 1982, when he arrived at the PIX11 studios for an interview on "Midday Edition," which was part of the Independent Network News programming lineup.
