In 1973, Gould was appointed as Ambassador to the Netherlands also by President Nixon, serving until 1976. Early lifeGould was the third child and the only son of Kingdon Gould, Sr., and his wife, Annunziata Lucci.[2] He attended Millbrook School in 1938[2] and graduated in 1942. He attended Yale University for two months in the spring of 1942[2] before serving in the United States Army in World War II and was the recipient of two Purple Hearts and two Silver Stars.[3] After returning from England in 1945,[2] he married Mary Bruce Thorne in 1946;[2] they had four sons, including Kingdon Gould III (born 1948), Frank, Thorne and Caleb, as well as five daughters, Lydia, Candida, Melissa, Annunziata and Thalia.[2][4] Gould returned to Yale to complete his undergraduate degree and then to study law, graduating in 1951.[2] He was the grandfather of United States Olympic cyclist Georgia Gould.[5] Diplomatic careerGould served as United States ambassador to Luxembourg from May 1969 to October 1972 during the Richard Nixon administration.[6] He later served as ambassador to the Netherlands from October 1973 to September 1976 under a second appointment by President Nixon, and continued serving through most of the Ford Administration.[7] When President Nixon delivered his resignation speech in August 1974, Chief Justice Warren E. Burger was visiting with Gould in The Hague during his tenure as Ambassador to the Netherlands.[2] When discovering that Burger would swear in Gerald Ford to the presidency, Burger told Gould: "Do you understand the irony, Kingdon? That man [Nixon] appointed me to the highest office, and I wrote the opinion [that forced Nixon to turn over the Watergate tapes and papers as evidence in the trial of presidential aides accused of covering up the Watergate scandal]".[2] Later life and deathFor many years Gould was business partner of Nick Antonelli in the Washington DC parking and real estate development PMI Parking Management Inc.[2] From 2013 until his death, he served as a trustee to the Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs, a nonpartisan organization "dedicated to educating citizens about foreign affairs".[8] Gould's donations to Republican candidates and party organs attracted the attention of the media, as for instance in 2006 when the New York Times reported that he had donated $25,000 to the Republican National Committee.[9] In addition to his business and political interests, he was known in the area as a donor to a range of educational institutions.[10] He also figured in the creation of the Capital Crescent Trail; having purchased the DC portion of the newly abandoned Georgetown branch from CSX in 1989, he sold the route to the National Park Service the following year.[11] In his retirement, Gould was known in the Baltimore-area as a donor to a range of educational institutions.[10] Gould died on January 16, 2018, at his home in North Laurel, Maryland of pneumonia at the age of 94, 13 days after his 94th birthday.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=13quAAAAIAAJ|title=Nixon= the fifth year of his presidency|publisher=Congressional Quarterly|accessdate=January 19, 2018}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2014-06-10/news/bs-exho-kingdon-gould-jr-reflects-on-a-legacy-20140604_1_north-laurel-howard-county-silver-spring|title=Developer Kingdon Gould Jr. reflects on his 60-year legacy|date=10 June 2014|author=Glaros, Tony|publisher=The Baltimore Sun}} 3. ^{{cite book|last = Renehan Jr.|first = Edward J.|title = Dark Genius of Wall Street: The Misunderstood Life of Jay Gould, King of the Robber Barons|pages = 310–311|publisher = Basic Books|year = 2005}} 4. ^{{cite news |first= Matthew|last= Mosk|authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Highway Backer a Steady Ehrlich Donor |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/25/AR2006092501457_pf.html |quote=Gould declined to be interviewed for this report; his brother, Caleb Gould, did not return several messages left at his office. |work=Washington Post |date=September 26, 2006 |accessdate=July 21, 2009 }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://georgiagould.com/|title=Kingdon Gould Jr. is the grandfather of US olympian Georgia Gould|publisher=Georgia Gould.com|accessdate=January 19, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url = https://www.state.gov/r/pa/ho/po/com/10910.htm|title = Chiefs of Mission by Country, 1778–2005: Luxembourg|publisher = United States Department of State|accessdate = November 26, 2007}} 7. ^{{cite web|url = https://www.state.gov/r/pa/ho/po/com/11059.htm|title = Chiefs of Mission by Country, 1778–2005: Netherlands|accessdate = November 26, 2007|publisher = United States Department of State}} 8. ^{{cite web|url = http://bcfausa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=26|title = Description|publisher = Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs|access-date = November 26, 2007|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081213194658/http://bcfausa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=26|archive-date = December 13, 2008|dead-url = yes|df = mdy-all}} 9. ^{{cite journal|last = Giroux|first = Greg|title = RNC Money Flowing to Key Races in Battle for Congress|work = New York Times|date = October 23, 2006|url = https://www.nytimes.com/cq/2006/10/23/cq_1694.html|accessdate = November 26, 2007}} 10. ^1 {{cite web|url = http://www.glenelg.org/history|title = Glenelg Country School: History|accessdate = November 26, 2007|archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20071012094738/http://glenelg.org/admissions/history.asp |archivedate = October 12, 2007}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cctrail.org/Milestones.pdf |title=Milestones: 1986-1996 |accessdate=November 26, 2007 |publisher=Coalition for the Capital Crescent Trail |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061008103645/http://www.cctrail.org/Milestones.pdf |archivedate=October 8, 2006 |df= }} 12. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/obituaries/bs-md-ob-kingdon-gould-20180119-story.html|title=Kingdon Gould Jr., Former Ambassador And Horseman, Dies At 94 |publisher=The Baltimore Sun|date=January 19, 2018|accessdate=January 19, 2018}} External links
