SA Oliver,
I am the daughter of SA Porter, one of the agents killed on the same day as you. It is hard to fathom that 3 FBI agents were killed on the same day.... Especially in '79 but unlucky for us... It did.
I remember your family at the memorial we attended and your young kids. I also had the privilege of seeing your wife and daughter just a few years ago at FBI HQ. It brought back many sad memories.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello. God bless you and your family!
