This page will be expanded into a set of pages that notes and/or discusses the roles that attorneys and people who have been associated with Chevron play in the story.
Biographical information, if such is included, is included for legitimate and reasonable public interest purposes connected to (a) the book alluded to above, (b) potential or actual litigation, or (c) other areas of interest.

We'll start with an outline of the process involved in preparing to get a demand letter to one attorney, R. Hewitt Pate of Chevron.
* R. Hewitt Pate. Attorney. Believed to play a role, direct or indirect, in the Fall 2024 whistleblower retaliation story.
Mr. Pate may be served with a demand letter or other documents in the medium term.
To that end as well as well as for other legitimate and reasonable purposes, location has been partly determined and information from the general public whose interests are involved is sought.
Mr. Pate's full name is Robert Hewitt Pate III. His father and his father's father were Robert Hewitt Pate as well. The positive and interesting story of the family's evolution in Virginia starting in 1913 will be summarized in due course.
Mr. Pate used aliases in the past. He scrubbed most information related to himself from the Web, but missed the aliases. He missed the public comment PDF at the following link as well:
The PDF led to a 2011 to 2022 [or 2009 to 2022] Lafayette, CA street address which ended in August 2022. Note: This writer actually grew up close by though not in the same city.
It's believed that Mr. Pate received a directive at or before that time to relocate to Houston.
The public comment letter led as well to a public business address. But initial lookups of the address produced the following:
As a tip related to an autistic trick, if you see something like that, the information that was removed is probably what you're looking for. So, in this case, focus on the business was called for. This turned up the following:
The preceding business, in Virginia where the Pates hailed from, was long ago. The domains that you see listed are expired or transferred.
Note: If you Google for RB Falcon, you'll probably find the wrong business. Mr. Pate failed to choose a business name that was likely to be unique.
Transposing two words in the name “R. Hewitt Pate” to produce the name “Pate Hew” shown here wasn't conducive to secrecy.
I commented to Mr. Pate in the first draft of a letter that it was about as secure as the secret decoder rings that were popular 60 years ago. But I think that I took that part out.
From RB Falcon, though, it was a hop, skip, and jump to the following business in Houston, TX:
Lindsey Haines Pate, this Robert's wife, may have opened a mailbox at this UPS shortly after the couple departed Lafayette, CA.
This is entirely unconfirmed. However, this clue plus the likely relocation of the couple to Houston, TX to be at Chevron HQ suggests that the Pates are in Houston. This is sufficient prep for other researchers to take over.
* Pat Lyons. Identity and even gender are unconfirmed. To be discussed.
* Robert Kiraly. Disabled senior citizen. Autistic. Software and data architect for 46 years. To be discussed.
* Robert Eassa of Duane-Morris. Attorney. To be discussed.
* Tearle Harlan of Houston, TX. To be discussed.
* Others. To be discussed.
