-In about 1975 (when we were both sort of affiliated to the "Church") I visited Joan de Veulle, who, now retired, had previously been HCO Secretary in the London Org. and frequently went down to Saint Hill to report personally to Ron. She was on good terms with Ron. She told me that once she was with Ron, and he told her, in effect, that he chose to keep Reg near him, so he (Ron) could keep a better eye on Reg.

-'''Reg Sharpe''' was well off.  I understood that he made his money by meeting a need of the time.  Television was new, transistor technology was in its infancy and was not used in televisions. The visual readout (image) on a television was on a cathode ray tube and only available in black and white.  Television sets were expensive, and while most of the technology was fairly robust, cathode ray tubes of that size (the largest in the beginning was 12 inches) were not. I believe up to that time cathode ray tubes, as a readout were about 5 inches in diameter, round and used for a few scientific instruments.  Those who owned television sets were liable to have their cathode ray tube break down, after the end of a short guarantee period, and be faced with a large replacement bill.  Reg probably started, and certainly owned and managed the firm Telesurance, which insured peoples television tubes.  His office was near the HASI (Scientology) premises in Fitzroy Street, near Tottenham Court Road, London. I understand from Rhona Swinburne that Telesurance offices were at 37 Fitzroy Street and Reg built (or took over) new, rather posh, offices a little south of Fitzroy Street, and sold 35/37 Fitzroy Street to HASI London.

 :During the mission Reg Sharpe was removed from post.     Up to then he had been LRH’s right hand man.   Reg left and with him his girlfriend, Jenny Edmonds. Were they SP’s? Of course not. It was the missions brief to get rid of anyone who in any way questioned the authority of the Sea Org – there was to be no doubt about the SO’s powers and position at the top of the ladder.   And as has been confirmed since, the mission was a success.
