Lillian McCloy shares a personal story about assisting her husband, an undercover CIA officer, by trailing a suspected Russian spy . . .
EXCERPT: “I was to wear a black wig (which I borrowed from a friend ‘for a costume party’) and an ankle-length brown coat. I would also carry a large black umbrella, which I would use like a walking stick.”
ABOUT LILLIAN MCCLOY
Lillian McCloy was the wife of a deep undercover CIA officer during the Cold War. This story is an excerpt from her popular memoir, Six Car Lengths Behind an Elephant.
I immediately ordered Lillian’s book. Can’t wait to read about Lillian and Frank’s always-interesting life. We love knowing the McCloy family and sharing soooo many wonderful times with them. Johanna, how can I get in touch with Lillian?
“I realized I was looking at the puddle of Frank’s upheaval and his mustache was in it. I quickly picked up the mustache and slapped it on Frank’s ashen upper lip, but it wouldn’t stick.” ~ Lillian is one wise, hilarious bad-ass & I cannot wait to read her full memoir! This story is so compelling & intense; I am honored to know some of the principals. Great, great piece. Brava!!
