Last November Arch W. Roberts, Jr passed away suddenly, unexpectedly, and much too young. Arch was infinitely curious and loved music, literature, culture, and ideas. His career and his passion (second to his children) was foreign affairs. During his years on Capitol Hill he was the go-to guy on Asia, NATO, and nuclear non-proliferation for the House Foreign Affairs Committee; he led a UN trade organization in Malaysia; and he became a trusted policy advisor for the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria.
Arch's dear friend Nelson Graves is the founder of News-Decoder, a global forum for young people from around the world to discuss current events and foster global understanding. Nelson knows first-hand that Arch could talk for hours on matters of culture, history, conflict, and generations of policy-making. He lived for the kind of dialogue News-Decoder will generate, and now, friends and family are donating to News-Decoder in his honor.
Arch would have loved this. Thank you.

Feb 24, 2015 "Today News-Decoder received a special donation in honor of Arch Roberts Jr, who passed away at far too young an age last November. Arch had a distinguished career in international relations, spending more than 12 years on Capitol Hill with the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee and serving later with the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. He would have had a great deal to share with the young adults who will be in the News-Decoder community, and our thoughts are with his surviving family including his three young daughters, Lucy, Nina and Sally. We will do our utmost to honor Arch as we strive to foster global understanding." | "News-Decoder will foster global understanding by helping young people around the world come to grips with world news and learn from each other. News-Decoder will be the go-to destination for young people who want to see beyond the headlines and prepare themselves for leadership." |
