US Diplomat Was Investigated for Spying as a Kid Because He Kept Writing Boeing Asking for Photos
By most standards, Robert F. Dorr lived the most all-American, patriotic life anyone possibly could. He served in the Air Force, he was a diplomat with the State Department from the 1960s to the 1980s, and he went on to be a successful author and TV pundit about military affairs. But as a teenager, Dorr was investigated by the FBI for potential espionage. His crime? He kept writing to Boeing asking for photos of their planes.

I wrote Gulfstream when the GV came out for a pic they sent .E 5 pics and a couple posters
Years go I wrote one letter, to Cessna. My father was purchasing a Citation X for his company...somehow, I got more information, photos and brochures than my father received - and I was about twelve. Just is not the same when someone in the modern world says "it is online". Online will never have the smell of the glossy multi-page brochure I was sent.
1954: A school kid is investigated several times as a potential spy because he wants photographs. 2017: The President and his buddies are up to their neck in potential Russian improprieties and nobody seems to care. How things have changed... which is crazier?
Believing current media hysteria based upon hatred and paranoia are totally crazy.
Never let reality get into the way of delusional people. There simply is no reasoning with them (ever seen One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest?)
More relevant than ever.
