Back in Iran in as late as 1978/79 Alan and I were good friends with Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor.

He was a tall, gangley man with athletic undertones, who in formal diplomatic circles was known for favoring sports clothes and an informal attitude with his friends. Really good man and a staunch friend. Respected by those who knew him - or he allowed to know him as he could be understandably reticent with what he knew and did.

Again, really great guy.

So, you must know that after the Iran caper, because of security reasons, his access to foreign postings was severely limited. He was posted to New York because the government was afraid the Iranians would try and kill him.

Thanks for the ping.

Wondering about the Canadian action taken today. What do they know that we don’t?
