 Judith Rubin, IPM Contributing Editor writes on the IPM Blog:

“…At such times as our nation has stepped up to participate in a world expo, from the early ‘80s to the present more often than not Ogul has been tapped to help coordinate the effort on the government side – recently in connection with the USA Pavilion for Shanghai, and now, in connection with the RFP issued by the US government for participation in Yeosu Expo 2012
Ogul’s current title is Program Officer with the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, State Department. Changes are ahead: Ogul, now 70, has announced that he will retire in May. He shared with IPM Magazine a recap of some memorable roles and milestones – and some pictures – from his substantial world’s fair resume…”
