I found out during my brothers reading of the eulogies yesterday, that one of the classified things my dad was working on at TRW ( now declassified).... Was the effort in which he and his team of guys repaired/restored/ reconfigured, the naval communications cryptography and encryption codes after the arrest of John Walker the spy that was selling the Soviets naval encryption codes and other sensitive data for 17 fucking years.
Oh and the Classified Shuttle Missions? some of those were collaborative efforts sending TRW military defense satellites up in orbit.
Rest in peace Pops, Job well done.
US Army- Interpreter in Germany during the Cold War writing checks to land owners after our mechanized Battalions danced on their agriculture.

Walker was a real asshole in EVERY sense of the word:

Excerpt:

Walker had also attempted to recruit his youngest daughter, who had enlisted in the United States Army, but she cut her military career short when she became pregnant and refused her father's offer to pay for an abortion, instead deciding to devote herself to full-time motherhood.​

Sounds like he was a patriot and a good man, John. May the Lord bless and keep him.
