I briefly met President Carter in the mid-1990s. I am 5'8" and he looked just slightly taller than me.

Well.. they're playing a lot of Ted Kennedy video today and there was a picture with both of them together. Supposedly, Kennedy was 6 feet. He looked about 5'9 next to Obama and I doubt he shrunk three inches. He seemed to be three inches taller than Carter. At 5'10 or 5'11, Carter would be 5'7 or 5'8 in his presidential years. Seems about right, he never looked 5'9 to me.

I'm 5'11", and I shook hands with Carter when I was a teenager, and observed him for several minutes close up in a room full of politicians. He couldn't have been any taller than 5'8". This was before Carter was inaugerated President, when he was still a relatively young man.

5-9.5 in 1992.

I just hope carter is 5'8 or less because being 5'10" he looks to short for comfort ya know what I mean.
