Elsie Chouinard of Meadowview and other relatives in the Lewiston-Auburn area. While visiting Lewiston the Beaudrys are staying with an aunt and uncle, Dr. and Mrs. A.A. Roussin, 35 Barron Ave.

The visiting diplomat told the Journal that while a student at Edward Little High School and later at Catholic University in Washington and even later while serving in the U.S. Army he never had any ambitions to join the U.S. State Department. While in the Army in 1946 he took a State Department test. "It was a spur of the moment thing," he said.

A few months later he started his diplomatic career. In Ireland His first assignment was in Dublin, Ireland. Mrs. Beaudry went along and followed her husband elsewhere during his diplomatic career. In those days Dublin didn't rate an embassy but a legation, a type of diplomatic mission which no longer exists.

During their two years in Dublin, the Beaudrys enjoyed the Irish way of life. "We nearly went native," he recalled. The State Department sent him to Casablanca in French Morocco next for a drastic change of scenery. Beaudry states that Morocco then was not an independent country but split up between the French and the Spanish. "Tangiers, the capital, was truly an international city," Beaudry recalls, explaining that one country operated the gas company, another country was in charge of the police and still another foreign power handled the post office and so on.

"That's how it got it's reputation as a city of intrigue," he noted. Back Home Again The stay in Morocco was followed. by a stateside assignment in Washington where Beaudry worked on the African information program. That was before the days of the U.S. Information Service.

In 1953 the Beaudrys found themselves in Koblenz, Germany. Koblenz, located at the junction of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers, is in the middle of Germany's famous wine country. Beaudry was in Germany during "the last days of the military occupation which followed World War II. He worked for the Military Security Board which was involved in granting licenses for the manufacture of armaments. He explains that after the war, Germany was not allowed to produce armaments but as the Korean War created a need for such goods, German industry started producing them with permission of the board he worked for.

South America For the next two years, the Auburn man was American consul in Paramaribo, the capital of Surinam. For those who haven't memorized their atlas, Surinam, also known as Dutch Guiana, is located on the South American coast, north of Brazil. Formerly a Dutch colony it was involved in the trade between the Dutch and the British in the 17th century, being exchanged for the Dutch colony in New York Surinam is nearly completely autonomous. maintaining close ties with the Netherlands. Beaudry told the Journal that has a great mixture of nationalities all of which have managed to live peacefully.

The country also has a very high literacy rate. The Dutch introduced slavery early in the country's history but many of the African slaves escaped to lead tribal existences in the bush country. Later field labor was imported from India and later from Java in large numbers. Beaudry says that Surinam has the only Indonesain population in the Western Hemisphere. Dutch The national tongue is Dutch but most everyone speaks a native dialect called talkie, talkie.

Surinam is one of the world's greatest supplies of bauxite and while Beaudry was consul there Alcoa played an important role in the economy of the country. Living conditions in Paramaribo were very good, the city boasting of the purest water supply in South America, all of it coming from artesian wells. "We could drink directly from the tap, which was a rare thing in South America then," Beaudry remembers. In the things weren't as advanced." Long Wait "If you needed to have a blood test taken, you took the test on Thursday, put it on boat to Amsterdam on Friday and waited a week for the result to come back," he said. The Beaudrys enjoyed their stay in exotic Paramaribo where, because Surinam is a small country, relations were on a more personal basis.

After a brief stay in Washington, Beaudry was named economic officer and commercial attache to the American embassy in Bern, Switzerland. Beaudry commented on the condition of highways in Switzerland at the time, noting that the country was late in developing its highway system. "There was an old saying which claimed that if the tourists couldn't get across the country in a day they'd spend the Beaudry offered as one possible explanation for the bad. roads. Back To Washington Following his Swiss assignment, Beaudry spent some time in Washington as economic officer for Switzerland and the Benelux countries which included Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands.

In 1963 Beaudry was assigned to head the political section of the Brussels embassy replacing Margaret Tibbetts of Bethel when she was named ambassador to Norway by President Johnson. Three years later, the Auburn native and his family spent a year in Kingston, Ontario, while Beaudry followed courses at the Canadian National Defense College. He explained that the military college trains upper, echolon military officials, but courses are also by diplomats and persons in private business. He had only words of praise for the college and others like it in the free world. Great Job "The military educational system has done a great job producing military people with real sensitivities to political realities," he stated.
