From
Fred Goodell (Jan/2004)
Fall of
1954. Roger Ellis and I were selected to accompany Ambassador
Robert C. Hill on a trip to Metapan, located on Lago (lake) Guija in
the Northwest corner of El Salvador. Amb. Hill met with
Ambassador John Peurifoy , US Envoy to Guatemala. It was the
first time armed Marines accompanied the Ambassador in El
Salvador. We met up with the Guatemalan group and Amb.
Peurifoy
was with two armed Marines from his Embassy and he too was carrying a
revolver. (A gun toting diplomat - now rare). We were there
two
days & nights sleeping on the ground but eating well. (Very
primitive town at the time with a very historical church)
We off
duty Marines hung out with just about all of the Embassy staff, other
US Gov't missions and other North Americans or foreigers. And
we
made many friends with the local population (note number who married
while on post). The best liberty was the beaches and Ellis and I went
diving every chance we had. All in all it was the best duty ever and it
wetted my appetite for knowing Latin America and its people.
So
much so that upon graduation from UNM, I spent nearly thirty years
working in Central and South America.

San
Salvador which was a civilian attire post.(Primarily because the
Salvadorean Govt did not like the fact the US Marines had been in
Nicaragua sine the 1930's.) The U.S. Embassy was located on Calle Arce,
in an ex private home built in 1913. It
was a grand
old mansion and soon became too small for the amount of offices
assigned, so another large estate across the street was acquired and
used for the Consulate, USIA, and Cultural Center. (photos)
We were
a small group of military which included the Military Attache, Air
attache, (no Naval), the USAF Mission, US Army Mission, InterAmerican
Geodetic Survey (IAGS). Others included,
CIA,

Amb
