I found it terrible that the Clintons & Carters were ignored. One should be an adult & at least speak to them.

How were they ignored?  I saw them on the live tv broadcast many times.

All vice-presidents but one since 1977 were in attendance:  Mondale, Quayle, Gore, Cheney, Biden, and Pence.  The only one missing was George H.W. Bush.  Smiley Sad

And still building houses too I'm sure.

Mrs. Carter is looking fragile.

Glad she could make it.

rosalyn was also there, even though she has not been in the best of health.


 


@software  Yes he did a Habitat Home earlier this year.  Trisha Yearwood has a video on her Facebook page with him.  She said that when he walks by and sees you standing around and not working he goes up to you and says, "Do you need something to do?"  LOL He works harder than anyone.

I heard yesterday that Prince Charles was attending.  Did anyone see him?  I didn't.  I think none of our allies are speaking to us these days.

Karen Pence, Prince Charles and Mike Pence

 

The 70-year-old British heir was seen at Bush's Washington, D.C., funeral, marking his first trip to the United States in more than three years.

 

Charles was last in the States back in March 2015, when he and his wife, Camilla, visited Louisville, Kentucky, and D.C. over a four-day trip.

He is such a cheerful and warm hearted person.  He is also one to be humble as heck, yet has always donated his time and money.   His life centers around his church, and he is always traveling, or dead for ambassador type meetings with other countries.   He still lives in the same home he and  roselyn moved into after they were married. He still walks to the corner of coffee shop every day, and teaches Sunday school. Both of them had been very ill lately  but seem to put it on as a side to attend funeral. Roselyn at first was not going to come, because of recent surgery. But she was there

John Major was there too.  He was Prime Minister during Bush's presidency.

@CLHS68 I was surprised the Clinton and the Carters didn't seem to speak with each other.  Does anyone know why?  Maybe that is what you meant.
