Atlanta — Dr. Meredith Evans was just 4 years old when she wrote a letter to President Jimmy Carter.

“Dear Jimmy Carter…here’s some money to help you be president,” Evans wrote at the time, sending a dollar and a penny. 

Evans eventually got her money back and much more. She now serves as director of the Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, where a memorial service was held for the late president Saturday as part of his six-day state funeral following his death last weekend at the age of 100.  

“When I met President Carter for the first time, I told him about the letter, we both laughed about it,” Evans told CBS News.
