John Watson Foster Dulles

I just found this...11 years late, but I loved this man.

I met Dr. Dulles around 1996 working at Sonterra Country Club in San Antonio while I was in the tennis shop. We would play often on Sundays - I looked forward to every single match. He was my favorite member and we had such a good time. I remember meeting his daughter Edith and grandson David on a few of these occasions. Later, when I attended the University of Texas at Austin, we continued our weekly tennis matches or we...

I met John Dulles in the early 90's. I was amazed then that he still had the vigor to teach college students at UT. And he continued teaching until he was 95! Wow. That's a standard for us all to enjoy and remain active in life, to the very end.
He became animated and exited when talking about his family, his life, his classes, his students. Because of that excitement, you could tell where his heart was. He was immensely intelligent and more importantly, fun to be around and...

I was reading the Orlando Sentinel today and saw Mr. Dulles' obituary. It brought back many memories of living in Rio, Brasil, and being a classmate of his daughter, Ellen, whom I remember well. Please accept my condolences on the passing of Mr. and Mrs. John W. F. Dulles.

Professor Dulles was a warm and generous man. His lectures were truly captivating and he had a way of ending them with suspense so that we students eagerly returned the next class to hear the fate of the Cavalier of Hope (Luis Carlos Prestes), for instance. Professor Dulles imparted his passion for the material to his students and will be dearly missed at UT.

It was such a joy to see Professor Dulles everyday at Dobie. Oftentimes he would ask me to walk to class with him and was always very happy when I would bring him treats from the cafeteria. He was such a gentle, kind man and I will miss him very much. Melissa Lutke

Some of my fondest memories are great battles on the tennis courts at the Arizona Inn. Jack was a wonderful friend whose frequent letters I shall miss terribly. I feel so blessed to have been able to walk occasionally on the same path with such a wonderful man. I send my condolences to CC's and Jack's children who were the light of his life.

I was sad to see your name in today's obituaries; I remember times when we had great conversations about Mexican history, and about 'the old days' when I visited your family in Monterrey in the mid-'50s and went to school with your son "Johnny" at the American School.
But, I am also glad that you are now still together with your lovely wife, CiCi.
From the former "Rusty" (Francesca) Sutton and also regards from my mother, the former Kaydee Sutton (now Katherine Long), and blessings to...

Dear Edith, John, Ellen, Avery and your families: The lives of Jack and CiCi were so closely intertwined with the Bordelons. What great memories I have of them and all of you. My deepest condolences.
