When the Marshall Plan ended, Robert spent two years traveling through France with his wife Brenda while writing a guide book to France for Fodor’s.
During the Cold War, with good command of French and broad international contacts, he applied for a job with the CIA. He was accepted and was active in Europe, South America, and Washington, DC. He retired from the CIA in 1980.
After his retirement from government service, Robert worked for several years as a political consultant for Transnational Executive Service, which had commercial clients with large business interests and investments. He is currently president of the Harry Hopkins Public Service Institute, a nonprofit organization designed to focus attention on the kind of dedicated public service personified by his father.
Brenda and Robert had one son, Sean, who was born in Buenos Aires in 1964. He died 26 years later of complications from AIDS. Robert wrote a book about his son's life and his ordeal with AIDS, entitled "Sean's Legacy: An AIDS Awakening," which was published by Triumph Books in 1996.
Brenda was actively involved in raising funds for AIDS research. She passed away in January 2002, after 58 years of marriage to Robert. Robert still resides in their long-time home in Washington, DC, where he is writing a book about Brenda’s life.
