'I was just as active as I am now. Everything I do is what I did then,' he says. 'We were always working, always doing something.'
They were'something' - his classmates and friends, at least. When they played football, they didn't just kick the ball around, they had a mean running game. If anyone ever got too close, their friends would take the ball from them. They were bullies, Carter says.
Yet he looks back on it with fondness. As the fourth of five children, he was always busy.
'You're doing things with your brothers and sisters. But you're also an individual, and you have to do your own thing,' he says.

He and his friends, though, had known about it for years. If they had to be somewhere, the school's'special corner' was a fairly easy place to get lost.
'We would kind of pick on people who had to go to the special corner,' Carter says. 'You might go over there, and you're just standing there, waiting to go to class. And we'd say, "Come on, man. We're not gonna wait for you!"'
It didn't always work. 'I remember once in junior high, I was walking over to the special corner, and I saw a 01e38acffe
