At the 1968 Republican National Convention (where he gave the keynote address) Evans refused to endorse Nixon for the presidential nomination, remaining a supporter of the unsuccessful candidacy of Nelson Rockefeller.〔McHenry 2007, p. 24–25.〕 ==Early life== Evans was born in Seattle, Washington (where he has lived ),〔 descended from a family that had first arrived in the Washington Territory in 1859; his grandfather had served in one of Washington's first state senates.
