” I worked on classified networks for 30 years, and information I had access to during the Reagan administration I don’t talk about to this day or even acknowledge if such information has been released to the public.”
50 years ago my father worked on some classified weapons program. Last year I asked him what that program involved, figuring that it might be public information by now. Or that at 95 I’d catch him off guard. Not a chance. He said “you don’t have the clearance” and that was that.
Some people can keep a secret.
Great story! I hope I get the chance to see if I can reach my 90s and not spill the beans like your father.
