View all 24 ReflectionsDear Scott:
I just wanted to let you know that your dad was our Agent Counselor for FBI New Agents Class #6 in November 1971. It's hard to believe that I've been retired over 23 years but I continue to recall your dad's sense of humor and impressive physical presence during those training weeks.
Your dad was the perfect example of what I believed an FBI agent should be and am so sorry your family had to suffer his loss. Not only was he an impressive FBI agent but a very personable and empathetic counselor with whom we easily related and were comfortable with. Whether he intended to do so or not I personally felt he was more of a father figure than a senior FBI agent. You should be proud.
