    The Last Palace Notes Prologue 2 first-generation Czech-Jewish American: For the sake of concision, I use the adjective “Czech” interchangeably as shorthand to reference Czechoslovakia (as in this instance), as well as the Czech Republic, the Czech lands (including Bohemia, Moravia and a portion of Silesia), the residents of those lands, and the language they speak. 3 one hundred rooms: Ebel and Vágnerová calculate the room count as follows: “upstairs, the house has 18 rooms which are mostly bedrooms and seven bathrooms; the first and second floor have 28 and 32 various types of rooms, respectively, and the ground floor and basement have 26 and 62 rooms.” See Martin Ebel and Helena Vágnerová, Otto Petschek’s Residence: Two Faces of an Entrepreneur’s Villa in Prague, Prague, Exhibition by the National Technical Museum and US Embassy in Prague, November 28, 2012–March 31, 2013.

    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project JAMES WALLAR Interviewed by Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial Interview Date: March 9, 2002 Copyright 2020 INTERVIEW Q: Today is the ninth of March 2002. This is an interview with James Wallar. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy, and this is our first interview. OK, you are somewhat different from the majority of our people in that you have a background in the Treasury Department. Which I am delighted to get into because it is so important in our field of foreign affairs. Do you go by Jim or James? WALLAR: Jim. Q: Let’s start kind of at the beginning. I want to get a little feel where you were from. When and where were you born? WALLAR: I was born and reared in Columbus, Ohio. I spent four of my grade school years in eastern Pennsylvania in a little village just outside of Allentown called Cetronia known for Dorney Park which featured a huge roller coaster. Q: What about your parents? Where did your father’s family come from? WALLAR: Well I am glad you asked that question because one of my projects in my retirement is to investigate the family tree and, more interestingly, put it in an historical context. My father’s people we traced back to Virginia, the part that is now West Virginia, outside of Harper's Ferry along the Shenandoah River. This ancestor, William Waller, fought in the Revolutionary War, including the battles of Trenton, Princeton, and Monmouth Court House. Around 1795 the family migrated toward the western part of Virginia which is now Preston County West Virginia, southeast of Morgantown.
