(WTVM) - About an hour south of Columbus, the community that former President Jimmy Carter calls home is also observing Inauguration Day. As people across the world observe President Joe Bidenâs swearing-in at the nationâs Capitol, Plains resident Kim Fuller is remembering her uncleâs own historic day. âPresident Ford walked by and I was in college, so I started tugging on my daddyâs shirt saying look, look there is President Ford, and my daddy says shut up, your uncle is about to get inaugurated,â Fuller said laughing. âI just thought to myself, itâs just Uncle Jimmy.â
