Several friends (of the kids) assumed Bill worked for the CIA. I can assure you that he talked too much to be a covert operative with the CIA.
His work assignments were varied. In Nigeria and Nepal his work involved water and waste water treatment. In Mongolia he helped the government improve the power plants that hadn't been updated since the Soviets vacated the country. In Jamaica he was supposed to be helping out with some sort of Typhoid epidemic recovery.
As in his personal life, his co-workers found Bill amusing. The photo below shows part of a very large, framed award that he received while in Saudi Arabia.
Hmm, can it be that Bill actually did all of those things listed on the award? Attempting to sell artwork at the office during duty hours… Nah, I can't imagine him doing that.
