This is my first venture into blogland and I am excited. After long career in the Federal Government and on the verge of retirement, I feel I am at liberty to express myself a bit more openly than I had allowed myself to do earlier. My desire is to share with my fellow bloggers, some of the incredibly interesting events of the last 45 years in the world of US Foreign Policy and the eight (8) presidents I have served.
This in no way implies that I would divulge materials that might in even the slightest way jeopardize the security of this wonderful land. On the contrary, my statements would be expressions of my own, personal opinions and observations on the pressing issues of the day. Of course a long and rich career at the center of US / Soviet Cold War History, for example, would form much of the reasoning underpinning my arguments and statements.
Thank you for reading and may you stay literate politically, because on voting day there are less and less of you each year.
