 Songkran
this year was also a chance to bid farewell to outgoing Consular Chief John
Aloia, whose last consulate day was on April 22. His supervisors dreamed up
tricky questions—deciding that John would need to “pass a test” if he is
to truly deserve the coveted Golden Triangle Award. After answering a lot of
‘trivia’ questions where each wrong answer resulted in a ‘cold shower’,
everybody wished him good luck in his new role at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi
Minh City and US CG Bea Camp presented him with the hard earned
Golden Triangle Award.
