Orlando man now Austria's honorary consul
Tab) Unwin, 33,a
successful Orlando
businessman, Is Austria's
newest honorary consul.
Although he has no
Austrian herbage, doesn't
speak German and has
never been to the country,
Unwin has the duty.
BY MRAVIS 5555

l0LAN0O —'Toby Unwin
was an unlikely choice as Aus-
tria's newest honorary consul.
He has no Austrian heri-
tage, doesn't speak its official
language and has never even
been to the European country.
But he Is a successful bust
nommen with a clean back -
round, and he did ask nicely.
The 33-year-old originally
i roe England read some time
ago people could become an
amateur diplomat Ily writing
foreign officials and inquiring.
After several unsuccessful
years, Austria took him up on
't. The lob doesn't pay, but
does grant the ability to issue
nlcrgenCy visas, among other
hangs. There's also a snappy
title — honorary consul,
Republic of Austria — that's a
lilt at parties, and a license
plate that can get him out of
tickets.
ifnwin's Buoy home is the
official honorary consulate,
with a plaque an the door and
an Austrian (leg outside that
required approval from the
Loral homeowner's associa-
tion. Visiting Austrians with
legal problems or enlrepre-
curs Interested to doing busi-
ness there might encounter
Unwin's yellow Labrador, wife
or child.
Countries keep paid consul-
ates and staff in Washington
cold other big cities, but use
people like Unwin to incapen-
sively expand their ranch. Like
other consuls, he Is to be an
ambassador to Americans and
an ally for Austrians traveling
or living hero.
TheU.S, Department of
State says foreign govern-
ments have 1,03E honorary
consuls in America, and Aus-
tria has more than two dozen
of them, including another to
Miami.
Unwin was given a few
items to start the office in late
