Biographical Information
Updated FEB 2008
|
BORN IN THE SMALL TOWN OF FRISCO CITY, ALABAMA, TO A RETIRED FARM FAMILY, DOC SPENT THE FIRST 12 YEARS OF LIFE IN A CAREFREE, BAREFOOT EXISTENCE, RAMBLING ABOUT THE WOODS AND SWIMMING AND/OR FISHING EVERY CREEK IN MONROE COUNTY(MONROEVILLE, COUNTY SEAT, IS BEST KNOWN AS THE SCENE FOR HARPER LEE'S STORY "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD"). ENCOURAGED BY THE DUAL MOTIVES OF ESCAPING A LOCAL BULLY AND HAVING THE CHANCE TO STUDY CHEMISTRY(NOT TAUGHT AT THAT TIME IN LOCAL SCHOOLS) DOC WROTE TO 10-12 PREP SCHOOLS ASKING FOR A SCHOLARSHIP. SINCE THE ONLY POSITIVE REPLY CAME FROM GEORGIA MILITARY ACADEMY IN ATLANTA, DOC DULY REPORTED IN JULY 1946, WHERE HE STARTED A WORK PROGRAM BEFORE CLASSES RESUMED IN SEPTEMBER. AFTER FIVE YEARS OF ACADEMICS AND 2-MONTH SUMMER WORK PROGRAMS DOC GRADUATED IN JUNE 1951 AS VALEDICTORIAN(SUMMA CUM LAUDI) IN HIS CLASS. TORN BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS TO WEST POINT AND ANNAPOLIS(GMA PRESIDENT WAS USMA GRADUATE, WHILE HIS SON, THE DEAN, WAS ANNAPOLIS GRAD) DOC MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. DURING OUR TIME AT THE ACADEMY DOC TENDED TO FAVOR THE "SOFT SCIENCES" AND WAS IMPRESSED WITH FOREIGN SERVICE FOLKS HE MET DURING VISITS TO THE UN AND WASHINGTON. BY GRADUATION DOC HAD DECIDED THAT HE WOULD SWITCH TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT AFTER REQUIRED SERVICE. FIVE YEARS WITH THE AIR FORCE AS INTELLIGENCE OFFICER(AFTER FLIGHT ASCHOOL FAILURE) INCLUDED TOURS AT RAMSTIEN/LANDSTUHL, GERMANY; ETAIN, FRANCE, AND CANNON AD IN CLOVIS, NEW MEXICO. DOC PASSED THE FOREIGN SERVICE TESTS WHILE IN GERMANY AND, WHEN INFORMED IN SEPTEMBER 1960 THAT HE COULD JOIN AN INCOM,ING CLASS, HE RESIGNED HIS REGULAR COMMISSION AND JOINED THE FOREIGN SERVICE. DOC'S GREATEST PIECE OF GOOD FORTUNE WAS MEETING A YOUNG LADY NAMED JEANNE ABBOTT, THEN WORKING FOR STATE, WHOM HE MARRIED IN APRIL 1961. THE FOLLOWING 27-PLUS YEARS WERE FILLED WITH TOURS IN MEXICO, YUGOSLAVIA(ZAGREB), MOSCOW, AND BRUSSELS, WITH SHORT WASHINGTON TOURS INTERSPERSED. DOC DECIDED TO RETIRE IN FEBRUARY 1987 FOLLOWING TWO YEARS WITH THE US MISSION TO THE EC, INTENDING TO RETURN TO THE US AFTER A BIT OF TOURING. HOWEVER THIS PLAN WAS SHELVED WHEN DOC WAS OFFERED A JOB WITH NATO'S INTERNATIONAL STAFF WORKING ON SOVIET ECONOMICS. ALMOST TEN YEARS LATER DOC LEFT NATO AND FINALLY RETIRED TO WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA, WHERE HE GOLFS 3-4 DAYS A WEEK AND LUNCHS REGULARLY WITH LOCAL CLASSMATES. GOOD FORTUNE AGAIN SMILED ON DOC IN 2007 WHEN HIS DAUGHTER AND BRIT HUSBAND, AND THREE GREAT GRANDKIDS, MOVED TO VIRGINIA BEACH AFTER TWENTY YEARS IN BRUSSELS. THE COMMUTE TO VISIT, NOW ABOUT ONE HOUR, SURE BEATS THOSE 8-10 HOUR FLIGHTS TO BELGIUM. DOC'S YOUNGER DAUGHTER LIVES AND WORKS IN WASHINGTON WHERE SHE ASSISTS WITH COUNSELING STAFF OF IMF, WORLD BANK AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WHILE COMPLETING HER DOCTORATE IN PSYCHOLOGY. LOOKING BACK JUST PAST THE 75 YEAR MARK, DOC HAS NO REGRETS ABOUT THE PATHS CHOSEN, ESPECIALLY THAT WHICH LED HIM UP THE HUDSON TO USMA. |
