I had the very great honor and pleasure to work with Ambassador Moose when he was Assistant Secretary of African Affairs and to see him again in Geneva, Switzerland when he was the Ambassador at the US Mission in Geneva, although I was no longer with the DOS by then, having moved to work with UNOG myself.
I would never have survived the Bush years at State. I was completely opposed to both wars: Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ambassador Moose is a wonderful man and attained the rank of Career Ambassador in 2002. Here's his Wiki write-up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Moose
I also had the honor and pleasure of working with Conrad Harper, the first black Legal Adviser of the Department of State at the same time that I worked with Ambassador Moose. He is another outstanding human being.
Here is Harper's Wiki write-up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_K._Harper
I literally weep at what the DOS has become and is becoming under the Trump Misadministration.
