Pamela Willeford and Dick Cheney

This is the only other info I can find on the two of them being together, other than that time this weekend when that lawyer got shot in the face.

To close this installment, I'll say a little bit about a reception for Dick Cheney, held at one of the local hotels and hosted by the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland, Pamela Willeford (who's from Austin, Texas — why wouldn't she be?). This is the social part of the Davos Journal — indeed, let's do bold-faced names! A Who's Who is present — it's an A-list D.C. party high in the Swiss Alps.

1. I guess I am out of the loop.

Who's Pamela Willeford? And what is her connection to Cheney?

The posting to Bern was not the first honor Willeford had received from Bush. In 1995 then-Governor Bush appointed her to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and two years later he elevated her to chairwoman. Willeford also serves as president of the Breckenridge-based Pico Drilling Co. She partnered with First Lady Laura Bush to begin the annual Texas Book Festival in 1996.
