Yet, she couldnt invite people to their home on a regular basis for fear that their double life would be discovered. When informant work became too dangerous because communists were supporting and harboring terrorists, the Brocks were dismissed from duty March 17. 1979. They explained to their party dubchairman they needed a leave of absence, due to Dan's declining health and Thel la's new job which was causing untold stress.
