RMA Meeting: Friday, AUGUST 8, 2025 10:00 AM;
SPEAKER INTRODUCTION BY: TBA
TOPIC – “The Business of Secrets”
Speaker – Fred Kinch
Come listen to Fred Kinch tell stories from his new book, The Business of Secrets – stories about his adventures selling cryptographic equipment to the intelligence organizations of some 80 countries worldwide. These secret coding units kept messages confidential as they were sent from one place to another, for users such as the military or diplomatic corps. Fred encountered a spooky, shadow world, where potential customers (spies?) would appear when they wanted to see Fred and vanish when they did not. Some of the stories are humorous, some frightening, but all are entertaining.
