Hoover, I Spy PI

What is important is the success of an investigation.

One spy character, a professional private investigator, aka Mel Hoover Jr., can perform successful surveillance or discovery in gathering intelligence or hard to get information. Hoover is the Man! You name the case, Hoover has done it with great success, more than likely. Anywhere. Any Time. No case too small nor too large for the Hoover Investigative Agency. However, there are times you dont succeed per say, but overall, it still could be a successful investigation overall with the results obtained.

Mel Hoover Jr. was born in 1933 in Tacoma, Washington, a small town in the Great Northwest. Peoples mode of travel there were vehicles that stemmed from the horse and buggy days. There was crime and suspense in those days too. The making of a PI began when Mel Hoover was born. Call it fate or destiny, the mold began forming a private investigator.

Hoovers background is just one of the ingredients in the making of a private eye. His parents were born in Tacoma too. His father was a general contractor and brick/stone mason. He was law abiding and respected law and order and fair dealings; an honorable man. His spouse, Rose, a devoted housewife and mother, displayed her love for all and understanding ways, loved family, friends and people in general. She loved to cook Italian dinners and entertain the family and friends.

Hoovers grandparents were from Germany. They drifted to Holland and then to the East Coast of America. They moved to Pennsylvania, settling on an island called Hoover Island. The good, bad, and the ugly, as in present times, existed. There were killings in the making among the people, including the Indians. Everyone traded during these times. No money nor jobs existed. Detective work to solve crimes was done by the general community. It is unknown whether a Hoover became a sheriff or not in those days or whether he was just a settler who exchanged commodities with local Indians.

As time went by in the early 1900s, jobs and money became important. Therefore, the settlers pushed westward, fighting the outdoor elements, Indians, and wild animals. There were bandits also who robbed and killed for money along the way. Great-great-grandpapa Hoover moved slowly to the West. His children were born in various states along the way. One son, Montana Hoover, aka Mon, grew up en route to the West coast. He became a young man, fell in love, married a young woman and had children. They moved westwards in various wagon trains. A son and a daughter were born in route on their wagon train adventure. Once again she became pregnant, but the mother and child died and were buried along the train route. The whole family, Mon with his father and mother, moved towards the West.
