1. Dorothy Harrison talks about M.T. "Tuck" Sacher's career in the U.S. State Department including an overseas assigment in Vietnam from 1968 to 1973

Description:
Based upon interviews done some years earlier, Dorothy Harrison delivers a presentation about the life of M.T. "Tuck" Sacher and her service in the U.S. State Department which began in 1954 and led to a stint in Vietnam from 1968 to 1973. Harrison discusses Sacher's duties while based near the Cambodian border and her vivid memories of the 1968 Tet Offensive and watching fighting from her roof top. Harrison says that Tuck told a story about an American nurse stationed near an old French cemetery who reported an increase in funerals to the American Embassy. Embassy officials ignored the information, Harrison says and later found that the Viet Cong had been hiding ammunition in the cemetery in preparation for Tet.
