Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 5, 2018 How about a president's woman? Anna Chennault, a Chinese-born writer and business executive who married a storied American general and became a Washington hostess, Republican Party activist and secret emissary for candidate Richard Nixon during the 1968 presidential campaign, died March 30 at her home in Washington. She was 94. She had complications from a recent stroke. Chennault gained international fame in 1947, when she married a swashbuckling World War II hero, Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, in Shanghai. At the beginning of the war, he organized the Flying Tigers, a volunteer group of American airmen in China, then a U.S. ally. He was three decades her senior.

No he was not indicted and I don’t believe he was ever implicated in any particular wrong doing in regard to Watergate. Point of interest, with the exception of Jean Kennedy Smith, there are now no living presidential siblings until George H. W. Bush’s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Virgilio is actually a pretty common name in a lot of Spanish speaking countries and that carried over to a Latino's in the Us ,so I could see how his death flew under the radar the same way a notable Bob Smith or Roger Taylor if they were out of the spotlight for decades.

I don't know if anyone has been watching the excellent Watergate on BBC4 (originally shown in 1994 and I avidly watched it then) but the narrator and series writer Fred Emery is still alive. Add to the list of living (all featured in the series) FBI prosecutor Angelo Lano, prosecution lawyer Richard Ben Veniste and prosecutor Carl Feldbaum.
