Photo by Gail Oskin, Courtesy of City of Boston Archives By Michael Quinlin  Over the past few weeks, my fond recollections of meeting Jimmy Carter in Boston for the first time have resurfaced, bringing back memories that I still cherish some three decades later.  On Sunday, January 10, 1993, Carter paid a flying visit to Boston to promote his new book, Turning Point: A Candidate, A State and A Nation Come of Age  at the Boston Public Library. The autobiographic memoir recounts how social and political inequities of the Deep South prompted Carter, a 38 year-old peanut farmer and former Naval officer, to enter politics in 1962 with a vision of righting the wrongs of a segregated society.
