Episode notes

Helen Spenerdee worked as an airman in the Air Force during a period of intense paranoia. She says she and her friends were being followed, watched at all times. They heard through other airmen that there was an investigation going on but they didn't know what it was about. Helen: "It became very unnerving to be followed and to be watched"
