HARROP Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: August 24, 1993 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: Today is August 24, 1993. This is an interview with William C. Harrop on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. To begin with, could I get a little bit about when and where were you born and a bit about your family and your education? HARROP: Surely. I was born in Baltimore [MD] on February 19, 1929. My father was a doctor, specializing mostly in research on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He moved to E. R. Squibb & Sons in New Brunswick, NJ, when I was 10 years old. I went to Harvard and received an A.B. Q: What field was that in? HARROP: In English literature. Subsequently, after a stint in the Marine Corps during the Korean War, I used the GI Bill to spend a year in graduate work in journalism at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. Just as I was completing that — in fact I was within a very short time of obtaining a master's degree in journalism — I was offered an appointment in the Foreign Service and accepted it. I was one of a considerable group of people who were delayed in entering the Foreign Service for a couple of years by Senator Interview with William C.
