DUNN BERTRAM FOGLESONG DUNN Bertram Foglesong Dunn, of Bethesda, Maryland, passed on October 24, 2018 of complications from Parkinson's disease. Bertram (Dad) was born on September 1, 1930 in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. He was raised by his parents, William Edward and Josie Lee, and his aunts in small towns and on farms along the Kanawha and Ohio rivers between Charleston and Point Pleasant. As with most people of his generation, the Great Depression was the central event of his early life and shaped his character and aspirations. His family lost homes and farms during the 1930s, his brother, Billy, died of meningitis in 1931, and his father-a World War One combat veteran-died in 1943. His mother then took Dad and his sister, Anna, back to Point Pleasant, and finished the job of raising her kids with help from her sisters, Lora and Lena. Dad emerged from these experiences a driven man of many passions-for the outdoors, for his chosen career with the Central Intelligence Agency, and for his wife of 66 years, Audra, and his family. Dad was a lifelong, passionate sportsman. Some of his earliest memories were of shooting a BB gun on his grandfather's farm in Pliny, West Virginia, and he developed his passion for hunting, fishing, and exploring the outdoors in the mountains of West Virginia when he was a child and a college student. As his career took him and his family around the world, he hunted and fished and hiked-often with his family in tow-from the Hindu Kush and Himalaya to the Ethiopian and Scottish highlands. The smells of damp tent canvas, down sleeping bags, and Coleman stoves are part of all of our childhood memories, and all of us inherited some mix of those passions from him. When he was first diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2011, he organized an all-expense paid hunting trip to Montana with his sons, Christopher and Edward, so that he could walk the prairie while he still could. In retirement, he and Mom found a beautiful cabin in eastern West Virginia on the best native brook trout stream in the East (or so he claimed-he was prone to telling fish tales) where he could indulge his passion for the outdoors all he liked. And pass on to his beloved grandchildren some of the same experiences we had as kids. Dad was also passionate about his life's work. He graduated from West Virginia University (WVU) in 1952-the first in our family to earn a bachelors degree-and served two years in the U.S. Army as a lieutenant and pioneering member of the 10th Special Forces Group. Subsequently, he returned to school to get his law degree at WVU, and then settled in Parkersburg, WV to practice law. This proved to be a short detour. Referred for employment by a colleague in the Special Forces, he was "called by a man in Washington" and wound up working for the Central Intelligence Agency as a case officer. Dad and Mom and their young daughter, Malinda, packed up and moved to Pakistan. Over the next 36 years, he served in Pakistan, Nepal, Vietnam, Afghanistan, twice in India, Ethiopia, and the United Kingdom. His first job was training Pakistani military officers to prepare for a guerrilla war against the Soviets along the Durand line; he rose from there to be a senior officer in overseas assignments and at home, including as the deputy chief of the clandestine service. Afghanistan was his favorite post-he spoke Pashto fluently-and slightly more than a decade after leaving Kabul, he helped to lead the CIA's effort to eject the Soviets from Afghanistan from his perch as chief of the Near East division. He was not jingoistic or naive about the work he did-as a young officer in Saigon in the mid-1960s, he led a branch that conveyed unpopular messages to senior officials about the failing U.S. efforts to prop up the South Vietnamese Government-but he felt strongly about the role of intelligence in protecting the nation. Even 24 years after his retirement in 1994, he is still remembered by officers who served with him as decent, smart, a good leader, passionate about the mission of the organization, and one of the giants of his generation of Agency leaders. Above all else, Dad loved his wife Audra and the family they created. Mom and Dad met in their hometown of Point Pleasant, dated starting in 1948, and married in 1952. They brought six children into the world and moved us more than a dozen times all over Asia and Africa. None of us would trade the experiences we had growing up. That is in large part because we had parents who loved us unconditionally but firmly, made sure we experienced the countries in which we lived, saw us through personal and health crises, and ensured we were educated and prepared for the world. After retirement, Dad immersed himself in his role as a grandfather and loved his grandchildren with all his heart. Sasha, Austin, Avery, Alex, Jason, and Emma all brought him great happiness over several decades, and were favored guests at the cabin in West Virginia he loved so much. Near the end of Dad's life, his love for Mom was the subject of frequent comment by him; in Dad's final week, he told her "Audie is my only true love." We should all be so lucky, and we are all grateful his love for her-and hers for him-helped see Dad through his last days. Dad is survived-and loved-by his wife, his children, Malinda (Mark), William (Kathy), Jonathan (Karen), Andrew, Lora, and Christopher (Barbara), his grandchildren Sasha, Austin, Alex, Jason, Avery, and Emma, and his sister, Anna (Jack). His brother, William, his sister, Julia, and his grandson, Matthew Christopher, predeceased him. Bertram Foglesong Dunn will return home to Point Pleasant to be buried with full military honors. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at Christ Episcopal Church, 804 Main Street, in Point Pleasant, and he will then be laid to rest at Lone Oak Cemetery. We will host a memorial service for Dad at 11 AM on Saturday, 10 November 2018 at Faith United Methodist Church, 6810 Montrose Road, Rockville, Maryland, followed by a reception at the church.
