After his second term he fell in love and was married. Wanting a more stable life, Staff Sergeant Randall left the service. He took a job with Rocky Mountain Rescue as a climber, paramedic, and helicopter pilot. In his spare time he hunted and coached little league. He did that for a few years and life was good until his wife and child died in an automobile accident.

Devastated, Chad was inconsolable. To get a grip and change his life, he entered the Peace Corps and ended up in Africa as a medic. In the poverty stricken villages he worked, he was the closest thing to a physician and often worked above his level of training. He was on-hand when the Halla virus struck.

The World Health Organization sent an emergency team and Chad worked closely with them during the crisis. Little could be done, Chad was one of the lucky few who didn’t contract the deadly disease. His courage and tenacity during the crisis impressed the physicians he worked with and they recruited him into the World Heath Organization.

Within a few years Chad was a Field Crisis Response Team director. With his mild manner, he could coordinate the actions of the strong-willed physicians without bruising egos, proving to be more of a facilitator than a leader. Yet when the time came, he could put his foot down and make the hard decisions. Without even a degree, he came to understand viruses and proved to be a valuable research assistant.

Chad Randall spent three years working as a crisis team leader in sub-Saharan Africa on assignment from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There, he worked in CDC-supported activities aimed at strengthening capacity in surveillance of infectious diseases and their control, with special emphasis on the childhood immunizable diseases, African haemorrhagic fevers, pox viruses and malaria. While Chad was based in Africa, he directed the international response to the 1995 Ebola outbreak in Kikwit.

Despite his rough schedule, Chad attempted to maintain several hobbies. He caught every baseball game he could, and he flew whenever possible. He also doubled as an extra pilot for the crisis team.

By the time Chad was 35, he was appointed Director of Special Projects for the World Heath Organization, normally a position held by a physician. By 37, he awarded the United Nations Secretary General’s Medal and nominated for the Schweitzer Humanitarian Award.

However, Chad was unhappy. He missed the field work that it was obvious he would never be going back to. He wasn’t an administrator or a politician and he felt accepting his current position was a mistake.

Harvard Medical School chose to recognize Chad by awarding him an Honorary Doctorate of Medicine. During that banquet, he was approached by Bruce Edward Morrow and attempted to recruit him into the Morrow Project. During his world travels, Chad had seen enough to convince him that society was heading for a fall.

Chad joined the Project and worked for awhile as an advisor on strategic planning for their science division. He was then assigned to head up Science Team SE-10. Several of the members of his team he hand picked and recruited himself. Doctor Chad Randall was frozen at the age of 38.
