Due to his expertise in graphics and logo design we believe that he designed the CIA logo. He rose through ranks as design ...specialist/graphics artist to briefing the President with charts and graphs his department produced through the late 1950's. He and his department early in U-2 spy plane program analyzed photographs and drew maps etc. After joining the White House in 1959 he replaced his predecessor as head of the social entertainments office.
