It's true at home for joining us this hour. It's really good to have you here.

All right, the year was 2015. He was 90 years old.

And the interviewer asked him if there were things that were still on his

to-do list. Things he still wanted to get done during his lifetime

that at the age of 90 he had not yet managed to finish.

And again, at this point, he is 90 years old.

But he considers the question and he has his answer really ready.

He says declaratively and very simply that yes, there are two things that he intended to get

done during his lifetime. Two things that were on his to-do list that he hasn't quite been

able to finish yet that he would like to finish before he dies. He said the first one was

Middle East peace. He had already been given the Nobel Peace Prize in part for his work

in pursuit of that goal, Middle East peace. But yes, obviously that's still not done,

still work to do there. That was one. And then this was the second thing. The second thing

still on his to-do list that he said he hoped to complete before he died.

If in the time that you have left, what would give you the most satisfaction to see something

happen? I would like to see Gini Worm completely eradicated before I die. I'd like for the

last Gini Worm to die before I do. I'd like the last Gini Worm to die before I do.

That was President Jimmy Carter speaking in 2015. He was 90 years old. President Carter is now

99 years old and it turns out he's getting very close to having that wish fulfilled.

What's a Gini Worm? Gini Worms are a thing that humans can

get essentially as a parasitic infection. You can get them from unsenitary drinking water

that has the larvae of Gini Worms in it. I could show you what that then means in humans.
