I am so sorry to learn of Dick Undeland's passing. Dick was a great Foreign Service Officer (FSO), an endearing colleague, and a great family man. I treasure many special moments from our time together in the U.S. Embassy in Tunis twenty years ago. Sorry I was out of town and missed the memorial service. Joan and the family are in my prayers.
