Evan Dobelle

Americans bid their final farewells to former President Jimmy Carter as funeral services concluded this week. The 39th president died at age 100 on December 29th, 2024. Services that followed, from Georgia to Washington, highlighted Carter’s life, his presidency and what he accomplished after it alongside the former First Lady, the late Rosalynn Carter. Also remembering Carter is the president's former Chief of Protocol, Evan Dobelle. Dobelle is a former mayor of Pittsfield and Westfield State University president, who spoke with WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief James Paleologopoulos about his time at the White House, Carter’s legacy and how the public’s perception of the Carter years has changed.
