Ted Mondale, son of former Vice President Walter Mondale, Jill Stuckey, Carter National Historical Park Superintendent, and historian Jon Meacham join Andrea Mitchell to reflect on the extraordinary life of President Jimmy Carter.

But even though Mondale died first, in 2021, he left behind the eulogy he planned to deliver, which will be read at Carter’s memorial service at Washington National Cathedral on Jan. 9 by his son Ted Mondale. Former President Gerald Ford, who died in 2006, likewise left a eulogy that will be read by his son, Steven Ford.

Before former Vice President Walter Mondale died in 2021, he left behind the eulogy he had planned to deliver. His son Ted Mondale will read it at Jimmy Carter’s memorial service at Washington National Cathedral on Jan.

University of Minnesota Professor Larry Jacobs, who worked closely with Mondale, spoke with MPR News guest host Emily Reese about Mondale and Carter’s relationship.

The world is reflecting on former President Jimmy Carter’s legacy after he passed away on Sunday, Dec. 29, at 100 years old.

As 39th president, Carter appointed several Minnesotans, including Bob Bergland, of Roseau, as secretary of agriculture.

At first, Jimmy Carter was a political wizard. But he couldn’t keep the magic act going.

Their administration ensured full protection of the Boundary Waters when it was still susceptible to logging and mining.

President Carter shared a profound and enduring partnership with his vice president, Minnesota’s own Walter Mondale, during their term in office from 1977 to 1981 and in the decades afterward. Mondale, who passed away in 2021, was one of the Humphrey School’s most cherished supporters.
