Comedian Tony Hutson more than likely mentioned Schaap's birthday when he was on stage telling jokes.....preaching.

Anyone ever go to Plains, GA to Jimmy Carter's Sunday School class?
I'm not a democrat, nor did I agree with the majority of the decisions he made as President, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. He's taught Sunday School for over 70 years, even for the four years that he was in DC as President. Now he teaches about 30 Sundays a year. It's a small church of about 30 members present, and 300-400 visitors. At 90 years old, he and Mrs. Carter are still very mobile and very much in control of their mind and speech.
Your car gets checked by canine for bombs, etc. then you're wanded by the Secret Service before entering the auditorium. President Carter implemented that no autographs are given at the church, but if you stay for the preaching service after Sunday School, then you can get a picture with President and Mrs Carter.
This seems to be the only opportunity to get a chance to meet a living President. Chances are extremely slim of ever meeting G. Bush, Clinton, G.W. Bush or O'bama. It was a very unique experience.
For those interested, here's a link that gives more detail and the Sunday schedule that Pres Carter teaches.
