Howdy all, Back from my mom's house. While I was there I looked through an old guest book and lo and behold there were two Ed Lansdale sigs, he visit my folk's home in Jan and then in June of 1950. My dad was then working at CIA, Branch Chief head of R&A for East Asia. He was soon to go covert and we as a family went to Indonesia. Our family returned to US after my dad became ill about a year and half later. Then later in early 1956 my folks went on a "missionary trip" to SE asia and they met with Lansdale in Toy Ninh vietnam in the end of May. One of my mom's captions says they were meeting "out from Saigon with Col. Lansdale & N. Vietnam Military leaders, I didn't get to ask her about that caption, but will. Also it was one of the rare times on the trip that he went to meetings and places without her. Now in April of 1955 Lansdale had just fought a pitched battle with with the French SDECE over the 'Underworld ventures" of the French, some "river pirates and the Corsican mercenaries." It is my understanding that my dad left the CIA because, as my mom says he "didn't agree with what they were doing." When exactly that was I don't know, but it looks to be not long after that trip to SE Asia. So my question is - Does anyone out there have info on what Lansdale was doing in 1950? Just trying to figure things out. Om K <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
