“Dear PoPville,
I am working on a book about my grandfather, Ed Epping. He was part of a large scandal in Ilinois in the 50’s. He has an FBI file. I asked the FBI for the files 20 months ago. They told me it would be 39 months to get to my request. I recently asked and they said they don’t really know when they can get me the files.
Excerpt from my work in progress.
I know my grandfather was connected and I know the FBI used the pretext of “changing the water meter” to search my grandparent’s home. (The agent reported the basement was beautiful, which would have pleased my grandmother greatly!)
Do any readers have any ideas for me? I contacted Rep. Norton and the office said they cannot help me.
I really need to see the files.”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
