Congrats to Laura Dogu
who on 8/12 gets sworn in as the U.S. ambassador to Nicaragua.
I guess this might make it hard for her to attend the next several DH meetings!

Congratulations to the Honorable Laura Dogu. What an honor and what responsibility! You and your family can be so justly proud.
Most of my money went to fast cars, fast living and good wine. The rest I just wasted.

Congratulations to Laura
I see from her bio that she speaks Spanish, Turkish and Arabic. What I noticed when she joined Bogleheads was her excellent command of written English, uncompromised even in this acronym-addicted net format.

But OH NO
Does this mean you won't be available for our Q's???
How about a "Boglehead Marathon Weekend with Laura" - before you start your new position - where you tether yourself to your computer, fixed on the Forum, and answer all our Qs and give us all investing and financial planning advice??

I found the "official" confirmation. See: PN476 — Laura Farnsworth Dogu
Yes, it really did take an act of Congress to do this.

Laura:
As you can see, we are all thrilled with your appointment as Ambassador to Nicaragua. Laura is a co-author of The Bogleheads Guide to Retirement Planning. She also wrote this very compelling article about The Three Fund portfolio: How To Diversify With Just Three Mutual Funds
The United States could not have a better representative.
Best wishes

Re: Congrats to Laura Dogu
I was honored to receive an invitation to her swearing-in ceremony in Washington.
While I've known about the appointment for some time, I'm happy to learn that she got the well-deserved quick approval by the Senate.
So now our Queen Laura is officially an Ambassador. Way to go Laura!

Re: Congrats to Laura Dogu
Very impressive and sounds like a dream assignment! I, too, echo congratulations. We are lucky to have had her here.
Re: Congrats to Laura Dogu
When I grow up, I want to be just like Laura.
Re: Congrats to Laura Dogu
Just like everybody else, I too am surprised and pleased. I never knew an ambassador before.
When Dan, my hubby, and I talked with you about working for the state department at a reunion couple of years ago, I thought to myself that she will not get promoted because you made a little too much sense about other cultures and the world, which isn't always political especially in the state department.
Congratulations. The state department is going to be a little more effective with your presence.
