Postscript to the Program

The program finished, and I have turned in my reports to Washington. I am proud to be a part of a selected group of American artists and Embassy workers around the world who developed this State Department program since 1964. I want to add to my blog, the review section of outstanding individuals that created my program for me, with me and for the people of Thailand as well as for the good will and sincere intentions of The United States.

John with Ambassador John and his wife Sofia

I want to acknowledge Ambassador John and his wife Sofia, for recognizing me to be a good candidate for this program. I love to talk and share ideas. My programs and the content of my work were a good bridge to and for the Thai People. I thank Ambassador John and his wife for their active insight and support of this program and my extended involvement.

The Ambassador, a native Hoosier and Sofia are the best of "Who We Are".

Elizabeth Ash, in Washington. She provided structure and schedule all along the way. Her step by step approach allowed for the discovery and sharing of ideas and information in a timely and well organized fashion as to allow for the natural and professional creation, structure and unfolding of the actual program.

Ann Casper

Ann Casper in Bangkok did very well in terms of program oversight in Bangkok. She helped the whole program roll-out.

Sam Werberg

Sam Werberg is one of the finest people I have ever had the privlege of working with. He is smart, and emotionally balanced. With his affable company I was able to walk into each venue, prepared and relaxed. He really helped me to land on the aircraft carrier. He is like x-generation meets Borscht Belt comedian.

Khun Kelly Kanchalee

Last but not least, Khun Kelly Kanchalee. She is a Thai dedicated to the love and service of her country. She is professional and well thought out. In the field she became an active participant and partner in the delivery and explanation of my program.

She looked after me and kept focus with me as we walked through our program. Kelly Kanchalee is the field person with the insight of day-to-day Thai life who was able to so effectively create this program. She is a tireless team player and creator for the good of her Country and the Embassy she loves and works for.

Sadly, I close the chapter on the "John and Kelly Road Show".
