I’m 94! Yes, I’m that former Sr. US Diplomat, CIA agent + son of the iconic Diana Vreeland. Curious current world traveler + native New Yorker. Memoir coming!

I know many of you are eager for my memoir. Here I am editing it. As it turns out, my life has too many adventures for a mere book and I have to keep slashing away!

In the summer of 1963, President #Kennedy visited #Berlin + was greeted by ecstatic crowds who showered him with flowers. During his speech he spoke of the deceit of the #Wall, but my favorite moment of the speech was when he quoted #RobertFrost, 1 of my favorite poets. #history

#poetrymonth In 1985, I received the terrible news. My first wife Betty was terminally ill with cancer. I stayed by her side where she lay quietly at home, resting. I had been drawn to her vibrancy in our youth, when she had been a glorious butterfly. Full story on my Instagram.

Happy with a beer in hand and oysters on the table! We just spent a lovely week in Paris, catching up with family and friends and having lots and lots of oysters. #freckvreeland #Paris #oysters #beer #cafelife

#Fridayreads to keep our analytical skills sharp.

Here With Love from #Rome at the landmark #Hassler Hotel, owned by my friend Roberto Wirth. I recall little Roberto when he was still wearing short pants, now he's a graceful host. https://t.co/cBjKmbW3xO

My brother and I were just like many young boys who enjoy a good prank. One of our youthful pranks involved our family’s beautiful #Bugatti. Read the whole story on my Instagram this afternoon. @freckvreeland #memoir #childhood #brothers #FreckVreeland

Our platoon may have been composed of men from different walks of life, but here we were on the same footing. We were equal. #freckvreeland #marinecadet #merchantmarine #humanity #memoir

[Freck Vreeland @FreckVreeland]

Like many, I have always enjoyed the little #pleasures in #life + like to be comfortable. Rumor is that on my first day of open-air kindergarten classes I did not enjoy sitting on a hard bench. I notified my nanny Letty to bring a cushion, an early sign of my desire for comfort!
