While Felt rose through the ranks, his daughter, Joan, became decidedly anti-Establishment. As Joan's lifestyle changed, her father quietly but strongly disapproved, telling her that she and her peers reminded him of radical Weather Underground members—a faction he happened to be in the process of hunting down. Joan cut off contact with her parents for a time (she has been reconciled with her dad for more than 25 years now), retreating to a commune where, with a movie camera rolling, she gave birth to her first son, Ludi (Nick's brother, now called Will), a scene used in the 1974 documentary The Birth of Ludi. On one occasion her parents arrived at Joan's farm for a visit, only to find her and a friend sitting naked in the sun, breast-feeding their babies.
Joan's brother, Mark junior, a commercial pilot and retired air-force lieutenant colonel, says that at that stage their father was utterly absorbed in his work. "By the time he'd got to Washington," Mark recalls, "he worked six days a week, got home, had dinner, and went to bed. He believed in the F.B.I. more than anything else he believed in in his life." For a time, Mark says, his dad also served as an unpaid technical adviser to the popular 60s TV program The F.B.I., occasionally going onto the set with Efrem Zimbalist Jr., who played an agent with responsibilities similar to Felt's. "He was a cool character," says the younger Felt, "willing to take risks and go outside of the rule book to get the job done."

"Where are you going?" someone shouted to Felt. He must have misheard, for he showed the wad of bright green chewing gum in his mouth.

That would be my bet.
New Age Liberals
No wonder she's after a boatload of money. "Al-Di-La" has given the orders.
And this cult's Web site went up... how many years ago?
{{shudder}} what a creepy photo
Felt and his wife, Audrey, who died in 1984, had two children, Joan (born circa 1944) and Mark. Joan, who had earned two degrees from Stanford University and won a Fulbright Scholarship, in the 1970s joined a commune and, according the Vanity Fair article by John D. O'Connor revealing Felt's secret, gave birth to her son on camera for a documentary, The Birth of Ludi. Joan had three sons, Will (aka Ludi) Felt "(born 1974); Robbie Jones (born circa 1979); and Nick Jones (born circa 1981). Nick Jones was a schoolmate of O'Connor's daughter and they met at a party. Joan teaches Spanish at Sonoma State University and Santa Rosa Junior College.
Joan Felt has never been married.
Gee You, Are You? [ = GURU, from Firesign Theather, just about the time her son was born]
Cults have fascinated me always. We ought to have an entire FR thread on cults. I am shocked at how many there are.

I'll bet he was willing.
And, how long ago did Watergate happen?
Hell, she's trying to cash in on a crime her father committed over thirty years ago.
It may be the cult that has won the lottery. You can bet they will remind her to donate.
"circa"? WTH?
Could this get any funnier!
just more "investigative journalism" (a.k.a.- chasing after a buck)
