I didn’t get a picture but I did hear from Patrick Cronin. Remember him? He’s certainly been applying the “thinking” cap in his career. You can see some of that on this staff bio page at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. That’s in London, by the way. Here’s an excerpt:

Dr. Patrick M. Cronin was appointed by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the Senate to the third-ranking post at the U.S. Agency for International Development—Assistant Administrator, Policy and Program Coordination. He has served as a director of studies at three different think tanks in Washington, D.C.: the National Defence University’s Institute for National Strategic Studies, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and, most recently, at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.

If you want to send him a message just email me and I’ll forward. I won’t publish email addresses unless I have permission.

Let me know what you’re up to. We all want to know!
