Synopsis

Conceived in Montana, Beverly was the first baby born in a lumberjack hospital in Laona, Wisconsin, moved to Illinois at three months, already born under a wandering star. She had an epiphany at age 13 to stimulate her further need and lust for travel. She joined the Foreign Service at age 27 and never looked back. Well, that is, until now! Herein are remembrances of postings in Tunisia, Vietnam, Washington, Panama, Portugal, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Brazil and Australia, along with stateside detours in her career to Chicago and Iowa City. Gathering credits for a Bachelor of Arts was haphazard as itchy feet prompted her to yet another adventure. She finally attained that degree 20 years after it could have been on her list of accomplishments. After Australia she was in a hiatus awaiting a diplomatic visa for Nicaragua because of US interference in the Iran/Contra affair. After almost ten months of waiting, a TDY to Panama after our invasion there, she reluctantly retired in August 1990. She has lived over 25 years in the Land of Enchantment.
