Keith Moore

After high school I went to Bates College, graduating in 1955, and then on to Northwestern University for my MA. I served in the US Army from 1956 to 1958. While stationed in Germany I met Barbara who was teaching in the Army school there. I worked for the CIA for thirty-one years, specializing in African affairs. I had the good fortune to travel there frequently on business, mainly to East and southern Africa.

Barbara and I travel to Germany often and visit there with numerous friends that we have known for many years. In keeping with our great love of music, we attended the annual Wagner Festival in Bayreuth, Germany, in August 2001. We will return to Berlin in late March 2002 for the fifth year and attend the annual Spring Music Festival. In July we will make our annual trip to Tanglewood, stopping, as usual, in Hopedale and on Cape Cod. We frequently travel to Florida and California.

My work now is as an usher and stage door attendant in the Concert Hall of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. My son Eric, who shares my love for music, is a professional French horn player with the US Navy Band and is principal horn with two of our premier local orchestras.
