John,

Nice meeting you, Mr. Wright. Was your great uncle the US ambassador in Guatemala in 1954?
My uncle, Carlos Castillo Armas was the president of Guatemala in 1954. He was later assassinated in 1957.
I would find it useful to ask you questions.
Take care and Happy Holidays! :), Tschrny

I am the grand neice of John Peurifoy - Ambassador. A few years ago his wife passed and since then my brother & I have inherited quite a substantial amount of documents, photos, etc. re: his life. I know quite a bit about his family. The deaths of him & his two sons & the wife who survived them. I also feel that there is much I do not know about him. I would love to swap information & stories to learn more, however. Thanks, Tina

Tina I knew Betty Jane well. She was my Step Grandmother. She was very hush hush re: Jack/John and didn't want to say much. I knew two sons had died but I thought there was another child in an institution somewhere- please post details.

I am interested in the account Betty Jane wrote regarding the family's time in Greece. Do you know where it might be and how I might get to see it.
I'm researching that period of Greek-US history. thank you.
