Bob Lee Taggert was the three brothers' father's best friend. After Sarge was killed, he helped the boys in tracking down the perpetrators of their dad's untimely death and became their surrogate father. Bob Lee, like Sarge, was a Marine gunny who joined the county Sheriff's Department with him after leaving the Corps in the fifties. In their time as Marines, Sarge and Bob Lee were both a part of the 11th 155mm Gun Battalion in the Fleet Marine Force in the Pacific in World War II. In addition, they served in Korea together. As road sergeants for the Sheriff, the two worked many cases as partners over the years. In the service to their country, at their jobs, and as best buddies, the two formed a strong bond as friends and promised to look out for each other's families should something ever happen to either of the two. After retiring from the Sheriff's Department, his career interests in Federal government law enforcement was the next step. Bob Lee rose up the ladder very quickly but in an unexpected way. He eventually became the White House Liaison for Special Projects, a virtually unknown agency operating directly under another of Bob Lee's old friends, Dallas Molton, Vice President of the United States. He was perhaps the least known member of the Special Project group to the public or members of the government for good reason. The Special Project group was minimally bankrolled by White House discretionary funds but were well endowed with access to every source and level of intelligence and support available to the President's office. Thus, the Boom Brothers connection.
