The "What ever happened to ..." Department

What ever happened to Admiral Tim Ziemer? Well, in June 2006 he was selected to head the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). The PMI is a $1.2 billion, five-year program to combat malaria in Africa. Steven Phillips has written an interesting account of meeting up with the Admiral in Mali.

"It's no secret to anyone who has spent time with the Admiral that he's a hands-on type of guy. A former Navy pilot, submarine hunter, and commandant of the Newport shipyard (the Navy's largest port facility in the world) Tim is simply locked in on getting the job done." The full story is here.
