One of the brighter sides of my three trips to Haiti has been my interaction with NDI Alumni, Ambassador Lewis Lucke. Because of his past deployment here as Ambassador, he was immediately redeployed here after the killer quake on January 12th. And since we had come to Haiti together a little over a month prior to the earthquake, it was a timely redeployment for both of us to a country and people we both are passionate about.
In addition to overseeing the monumental tasks of rescue, relief and redevelopment, Ambassador Lucke has had to receive all of the US Government officials who have come down. Members of Congress, Senators, Speaker of the House, Presidents Clinton and Bush.
Here is one that Ambassador Lucke shared with me of his greeting of President Bush on the tarmac when he recently visited Haiti. These two men obviously have a warm relationship and great respect for each other. If you will look back and look at my earlier reports on Lucke, you will see a personal exchange between them on President Bush’s last day in office.
