A propos de moi

I've been interested in history, geography, science, languages, and painting and drawing since I was a kid. After flunking a physics major, going to graduate school in history, and a year in Vietnam with the Army, I passed the Foreign Service exam and then served in Nigeria, Germany, China, Somalia, and Ethiopia, with equal stretches in Washington, D.C. I had studied German in college and got 88 weeks of Chinese training courtesy of the State Department. I still dabble in reading Chinese and pay attention to developments in U.S.-China relations. After retirement my late wife and I lived in Fairhope, Alabama (lovely artistic community) and then moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, attracted by Pueblo art and culture. (She was part Chickasaw.) I stayed on in Santa Fe after her death and have been active in the local Council on International Relations (SFCIR, now renamed Global Santa Fe) and Democratic political campaigns. In 2018 I married Susan Jay, a once and future artist whom I met at SFCIR. One of my sons is a French teacher in the D.C. area; he has a daughter. Another works in the the film and TV industry; he has a son. My daughter is a lawyer; she has three daughters. Susan has a son who is an actor. My heritage is Southern U.S. (I'm a fourth cousin five times removed of Robert E. Lee) but I've been a political liberal since the Kennedy administration.
