It is difficult to pin down the Colonel because he is often traveling somewhere in the world on an important, secret mission. Although that sounds exciting, he actually spends many days waiting to rendezvous with a covert contact or to receive orders that detail his next assignment, which may require his expertise immediately in some other far corner of the globe. In the “down” times, he wiles away the hours creating pithy verse and illustrations (his most recent volume is available at amazon.com under the title ” I Lost My Underwear Today…and other Flights of Fancy”).
Col. Korne has fluent command of eleven languages and can “get by” in several others, so no matter where in the world you are, you may have seen him or even spoken to him….you never know. He tries to blend in, but the
few people with the required clearance to genuinely know him describe him as “quirky.” He has an insatiable appetite for puns, wordplays and language in general and will likely be found lost in some intellectual or artistic pursuit in his “spare” time. He’s the type that has to keep his mind active, even if he is just waiting in an airport. If you know someone like that, it could be the Colonel. But if you ask him, of course he will have to deny it. Our nation’s security depends on his identity remaining Top Secret. But thankfully, he has been allowed to publish, which includes blogging. Occasionally, he will probably include some limerick or verse on this blog as well.
Please feel free to contact us for further details; we are happy to provide any additional information allowed. For your own safety, don’t pursue anything that is classified or ask specifics which could in any way jeopardize the Colonel’s ability to fulfill his mission.
