We are deeply saddened at the passing of our Chairman Emeritus and good friend Don Oberdorfer.
Our deepest sympathies to Laura and the Oberdorfer family.
In the words of our Director, Jae Ku:
“Don’s understanding of Korea was unparalleled. He not only understood but had internalized Korea’s geostrategic predicament and the Korean people’s sentiments. His deep knowledge of Korea came from his own eyewitness accounts of modern Korean development. Simply put, Don was Korea’s best friend.”
We will miss Don dearly, but his legacy and wisdom will live on.
