There is a picture of her in the article "Secretary Says she Destroyed...". The proquest copy is too poor to use though.

lots of issues | leave me a message 19:01, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Here's a picture: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/photo/2005/05/31/PH2005053101008.html PedanticallySpeaking 17:41, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

And here's her mother: [1] PedanticallySpeaking 17:55, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Looking at her photo she is not a terribly bas looking woman, even in 1940 (whe she was middle aged). It is supprising that her and Hoover never had any type of relationship. William.

[edit] THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN VANDALIZED!

The Helen Gandy hyperlink leads to a vandalized page with an offensive misogynisitic message.--Pinko1977 06:14, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

It was just vandalized again, 10:33. Looks on the history page like it has been under assult all night. Maybe the dead hand of Hoover continues to act on this isse... :) WayeMason 10:42, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism of main page FAs is quite common. This one looks no worse off than any others. →Raul654 16:52, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

Would that it was a FBI plot rather than simple human nature... sigh. WayeMason 18:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] So What About The Hoover Files?

So the files that Gandy destroyed - anyone have any guesses as to content? Brasswatchman August 13, 2005. 7:21 PM EST.

Um, Hoover was the head of the FBI for 50 years, during which time it had basically unchecked power. It's widely acknowledged that he had all the dirt on everybody, which is why everyone went out of their way to be very, very nice to him. →Raul654 00:08, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Middle name

What is the source of her middle name? And is that spelling right. Cf William Wilberforce. 66.213.119.98 15:57, 16 August 2005 (UTC) (aka User:PedanticallySpeaking)
