Frank Wills

From Jeannette N – Mr. Pop – I love the 1970’s weeks. You deserve a medal for putting this all together. I have several questions:
1.) Who was the guard that supposedly saw the tape around a door lock and notified the cops that someone may be in the Watergate building?
.2.) When will you have the rest of the site completed?

Mr. Pop History – You can say the man who got the whole Watergate burglary thing going was security guard Frank Wills, who was working from midnight to 7am the morning of June 17, 1972 (a Sunday morning). He made $80-a-week and worked for the General Security Services and had the job for just over a year. Just think, about the same time those guys were breaking in, Disneyland was conducting its first Main Street Electrical Parade on the West Coast.

I hope to have this site completed by the fall: all weeks – up to the present. Then, the real fun begins.
