But that didn't dampen their enthusiasm for meeting the man who now is better known for his post-presidency humanitarian work than his White House years.
Carter visited the Tattered Cover Book Store on East Colfax Avenue to promote his new book, "A Full Life: Reflections at 90," a memoir looking back on a career of public and private service. After losing his bid for re-election, Carter dedicated his life to fighting for human rights and the eradication of diseases in the Third World. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Carter remained true to his reputation as a peacemaker, speaking briefly with reporters about President Barack Obama's proposed deal to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Carter severed diplomatic relations with Iran in 1980 after a violent takeover of the American embassy in 1979.
