William Wanlund

Worked as a journalist, then in PR, before joining Peace Corps (Morocco 1977-79). Joined Foreign Service and married Martha in 1981; we served in Sierra Leone, The Philippines, Germany (Hamburg and Berlin), Venezuela and Austria before I retired in '07--Martha retired from State in November '15. I did a few odd jobs for State after retiring, and have been freelance writing for the publication "CQ Researcher" (most recently about the ourlook for US foreign policy). Living in Falls Church, Va., serving as a Democratic representative on the city's electoral board, and enjoying the heck out of nearly-4-year-old grandson Felix, and 2-1/2-year-old grandaughter Wendy, both courtesy of daughter Liz (who works for the US Government) and her husband Roger (works in the Hilton corporate HQ in McLean, VA). Younger daughter Annie on 8/8/19 gave us grandchild #3 in the person of Winn -- he has no known connection to Dr. Alt. She and husband Derek have returned to the US from Tanzania where Annie was COO of Sanku, which promotes micronutrient fortification to fight malnutrition while Derek, also a COO, worked for an organization that provides dialysis machines to medically underserved areas in east Africa.
