On Nov. 3, the Upstate SC Chapter of Sisters in Crime will welcome guest speaker Craig L. Waldon, who served as a U.S. Treasury Special Agent from 1975 until his retirement in 1999. A graduate of Furman University, Craig later took graduate accounting courses at Florida State University to qualify for the Treasury position. His first Federal job was as an IRS Tax Fraud Investigative Aide. After becoming a Treasury Special Agent, he served as a field agent in Ft.
