Interview with Harold E. Doley III 

by Luciana Vazquez

Mr. Harold E. Doley, III is the third of his legacy, since his grandfather and his father have also been named Harold Doley. Along with their similar names, their successes and accomplishments in life have been all very impressive and impactful. (Must admit, I did a little unintentional peeking at his father’s background, too!) 

Mr. Doley is a natural leader and adventure seeker. At age 15 when his father, Mr. Doley Jr., got his dream to work in Africa as the African Development Bank’s U.S. representative, Mr. Doley, III was preparing to apply to boarding schools and found the one that would change his life.
