Ex-president Jimmy Carter, who passed away at 100, deserves to be remembered as an extraordinary volunteer. He was active in the Habitat for Humanity foundation for 36 years, from 1984 when he was already ex-president, until 2020. His volunteer work for that foundation included constructing houses along with his wife, Rosalynn. Together they traveled to 14 countries to help construct more than 4,000 houses alongside 104,000 other volunteers.

Of course, quality is as critical to the mortgage industry as it is to car manufacturers.
