In Memoriam

Remembering Jimmy Carter

With thoughts of sadness because of his passing and thankfulness for his partnership, the Atlanta Press Club mourns the loss of President Jimmy Carter. President Carter and his wife Rosalyn have been long-time friends and supporters of the Atlanta Press Club and have not only attended but hosted events for our organization over the years. We are grateful to President Carter, his family, and The Carter Center for their support of the Atlanta Press Club. Our thoughts are with his family.
