Any FBI, NSA or Secret Service Agents on TRF?

[joeychitwood]

I posted this story on another thread and thought perhaps someone here at TRF might have some insight, as my family has come up blank in researching this question:

My father served in the Army in Korea in the Finance Corps. Disbursing officers of the Finance Corps acted as agents of the US Treasury. After the war, my dad graduated from Concordia College in Minnesota and moved with my mom to Denver, where he got a Masters in Finance at DU. At the same time, another Concordia graduate named Clint Hill (who at one time had dated my mom in college) also moved to Denver. Like my dad, he had served in Korea during college. Hill joined the protective arm of the Secret Service in Denver (a branch of the US Treasury) and is best known as the agent in the motorcade who jumped on top of President and Mrs. Kennedy in Dallas the day JFK was killed.

My dad then worked for decades in "finance," but for whom, we kids never really knew. We moved every year or two. I recall the same "business associates" flying to wherever we lived to meet with him. Dad also traveled by air a great deal in the 1960s attending "classes for work." As a young child, I recall seeing John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Richard Nixon at different times at airports when we would go pick up my dad after a trip. I never gave any of this a second thought, including the fact that our family suddenly moved to another city at 3AM the night I graduated from high school. I never asked any questions, and my dad died in 2001.

My daughters have always thought my upbringing was bizarre, and upon checking, they discovered that every town we lived in had a Secret Service office. Marveling at my cluelessness, my kids on two separate occasions asked my mom after Dad was gone if he had worked for the Secret Service or some other government agency. Never one to lie to her family, she simply smiled and didn't answer. She died in 2007.

My daughters have been on a mission ever since without success trying to find out what my dad did for a living. My spouse has talked with a retired FBI agent who said he probably worked for the government, but that if he were deep enough into secrecy, his files could never be accessed by the Freedom of Information Act.

The mystery will probably never be solved, but I know there are many TRF members of varied backgrounds, so I ask: Anyone here have any ideas?
