Diana Carr’s childhood was spent in India, France, Austria, Iran, and Egypt, where her father was assigned as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer. With degrees in anthropology, developmental psychology, and guided language acquisition, she taught for thirty-three years. Now, she is a UCI Writing Fellow and lives in San Clemente among friends and family (including three great grandchildren). Through her memoir, “The Diplomite”, she hopes to laud the dedication and patriotism of our Foreign Service representatives.
