Description

According to his obituary in the Washington Post, Oct. 28, 2007:

Francis N. Magliozzi, 92, a retired FSO, died Oct. 20 of congestive heart failure in Springfield, Va. He served in the Army during World War II. After joining the Department in 1947, he served overseas in Germany, Denmark, Iraq, Belgium, French Equatorial Africa (where he helped introduce baseball to children), Somalia and Burundi. 

Magliozzi served as US consul in Brazzaville, then part of French Equatorial Africa, in 1958 and 1959. Brazzaville is now the capitol of the Republic of the Congo (not to be confused with its neighbor, the Democratic Republic of the Congo).
