Grover Rees, III
Grover Joseph Rees, III (born October 11, 1951), a Louisiana lawyer, is the former United States ambassador to the Democratic Republic of East Timor. He presented his credentials to East Timorese President Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão in December 2002, following his nomination by then U.S. President George W. Bush and confirmation by the United States Senate. East Timor declared its independence from Portugal in 1975.
==Early years and education==
Rees was born in New Orleans, the first of twelve children to Grover Joseph Rees, II (born August 14, 1927), and the former Patricia Byrne (born January 25, 1927). His father was in the military; so the family traveled around a great deal. His paternal grandparents, Grover Rees, I, and the former Consuelo Broussard, both of whom lived past the age of one hundred, made their home in Breaux Bridge in St. Martin Parish, and Rees spent many summers there. Grandfather Rees wrote an acclaimed history of Breaux Bridge. Rees, I, was a 1912 graduate of the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and Harvard Law School in 1915.
Rees, III, obtained his undergraduate degree from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, where he served a term as chairman of The Party of the Right (Yale) of the Yale Political Union. Rees, known as "Rocky," graduated from LSU's Paul M. Hebert Law School in 1978. From 1978 to 1979, he was a law clerk to then-Associate Justice Albert Tate, Jr., of the Louisiana Supreme Court. Rees speaks French, Spanish, and Samoan.
Rees is married to Landai Nguyen Rees, who is of Vietnamese descent. He has a son by a previous marriage, Grover Joseph Rees, IV, and a daughter-in-law, the former Oksana Prokhvacheva. When Rees moved to assume his duties in East Timor, he told reporters that he expects eventually to retire to either Breaux Bridge or Lafayette, where his parents and most of his eight brothers and three sisters reside.
