... particular school incidents that now make you smile but at the time had the opposite effect ..

This can only be Gale's ;) office (not me but ... )

Did CDL give you a truly international foundation to be a world citizen ..

Yes. It truly did.

What is your most significant memory of your stay at CDL?

Hard. There are many.

I mean I was there for .. 11yrs. I am a CDL product (no ..honestly).

Have you achieved your goal in life

Not yet but going there.

I could use Clinton's model of three lists; short, medium range and long term goals. The short I have .. no real use for but, if the long term would be , well , what is my goal the medium range has been .. 60% fulfilled?

I was gonna say hopefully completely by the summer. That won't be possible, my voluntary mil training which will start in Oct .. that will resume sometime nxt year (anyhow it is ongoing. Like having been in human rights; even if no longer the permanent observer I still/nowadays am a human rights defender .. so it is a part of me and never leaves), have plans for a 2nd book ..

So, yea, let's say by end of 2011 (before 2012 which is a  ..pretty good time :) to do so).

What is your current occupation and position

Yeah, the above pretty much answers it.  Soldier, writer, politico (not elected office but not activist either)

A wish for the future of CDL

Go back to how it was? :)
