I've been eating there for more than 30 years. The food is great when you want a change from Thai. I knew Khun Jack well, as well as Mom and her daughters. Also knew Jimmy the Belgian years ago before he moved to Pattaya. I know my picture is on the wall, as well as my wife's. Great ham hock and bean soup - with cornbread. Yum. Going to be one of my first stops when I get back in six more days.

Davis Knowlton
Philippine Expat
My Dad was the Army Attache in
Tunisia in 1961. I remember driving with him out into the Sahara one weekend to go look at a WWII airplane which had just been discovered some twenty years after it had crashed. It was a very strange feeling looking at a piece of history, just sitting all alone out there in the middle of nowhere, undiscovered for decades.

Before taking command of a brigade at Fort Knox, he served as military attaché in
Tunis.

Promoted to full General in 1976, he took command of Allied Land Forces South East Europe, and finished his career as the United States Representative on NATO's Military Committee.

Il aurait connu Guillaume Vogeleer à Bangkok (à partir de 1973-1974...)

Lieutenant Colonel William A. Knowlton1
Thousands of words have been written on “strains within NATO” and the “conflicts of interest” which attend any international organization. For several years—almost from its inception—various prognoses have been made as to how soon NATO or its subordinate agencies would fly apart from the centrifugal forces of diverging self-interest. As early as 1953 General Gruenther warned that with the recovery of self-confidence, the cohesive glue of fear would have less effect. Yet, as Secretary Dulles stated last spring at Copenhagen, we are often inclined to ignore the successes of NATO and to concentrate on its problems.
Footnotes
1 initial member of the SHAPE staff and Special Assistant to General Gruenther, was recently reassigned from his post as Associate Professor of Social Sciences, USMA, to command the 1st Battalion, 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment.

Guillaume Vogeleer a donc eu des contacts avec Davis Knowlton, dont le père a occupé plusieurs fonctions importantes au SHAPE et dont la soeur a épousé un militaire qui a aussi été au SHAPE et est devenu plus tard le numéro 1 de la CIA.
Il semble en tout cas qu'il ait rencontré personnellement le commandant François.
