I have been told by my Uncle that my Father was always writing to the
government.

My uncle was at our house once when my dad got a reply to a letter he

to the government saying - "somebody was worse then Jimmy Hoffa". I
don't know who the somebody was.

I already contacted the FBI and they have nothing on him. neither does
the selective service.
