Perry, a local acquaintance of mine, recently gave me a copy of a 100+-page piece he'd written in 2012, entitled "Introduction to the First Publicly Known Clear."  The following excerpt is taken from the first page,<ref>[[File:During the Dawn of Dianetics and Scientology - Perry A. Chapdelaine, Sr .pdf|Dawn of Dianetics PDF doc]]</ref> and it explains the importance of LRH's ''Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health'' having been first publicized in a science fiction magazine, of all places.
 
 
"L. Ron Hubbard's ''Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health'' made quite a stir throughout the world when it was published in 1950.  Psychiatry was a failed profession in those days -- and pretty much still is.  Hubbard's ''Dianetics'' offered a detailed self-help understanding never before reached by other methods.
 
 
"Original publicity of Hubbard's book was reached through the pages of a science fiction magazine through the acceptance by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_W._Campbell John W. Campbell, Jr.], the editor of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astounding_Science_Fiction ''Astounding Science Fiction.'']  Since those days, science fiction and fantasy have become mature fields of literature, not to be disparaged as it was so easy for some to do in those days.  However, the important aspect of being published in ''Astounding Science Fiction'' was that its readership was far from that of gullible teenagers.  Scientists, teachers, engineers, lawyers of every rank subscribed, and often corresponded regularly with John W. Campbell, Jr.  Campbell greatly influenced scientists, engineers and writers.  His magazine's subscribers included Albert Einstein (general and special Theories of relativity ; E=MC<sup>2</sup>), Edward Teller (father of the hydrogen bomb), and Werner von Braun (developer of Germany's and America's first successful rockets).  According to Herman Oberth (early rocket scientist), the Rand Think Tank (Rand Corporation), employed by military and other government experts, was also the fruit of Campbell's thoughts.
 
 
'' "Scientists and engineers thought so highly of him that there is a crater on Mars named after him, the Campbell crater!''
 
[[File:Campbell-hubbardwb.jpg|left|frame|300x250px|L Ron Hubbard(l) and John W Campbell]]
 
"The magazine Campbell edited became the cerebral playground for engineers, physicists and philosophers and was consistently widely distributed throughout colleges and universities.
 
 
"The multi-billion-dollar science fiction and fantasy movie and TV industry owes major debts to Campbell, who brought mood and magic into these fields.
 
 
"As editor of a magazine dedicated to science fiction and science fact articles, ''Analog Science Fiction and Fact'' (initially ''Astounding Science Fiction''), he molded and shaped the modern world of science fiction by training several generations of great writers -- Professor Isaac Asimov, PhD (biochemistry); L. Sprague DeCamp, B.S., M.S. (aeronautical engineering), whose oxygen-system designs were incorporated into astronauts' moon suits; Sir Arthur C. Clarke (former President of Sri Lanka University), inventor of the asynchronous equidistant satellites; and so on.  Campbell also published and recognized the genius of others: L. Ron Hubbard, A.E. van Vogt, Lester del Rey, Robert Heinlein, Hamilton, Pratt, and on ... all the men who created the Golden Age of Science Fiction.
 
 
"Gene Roddenberry, a fan of Campbell's and the developer of ''Star Trek'' and ''Star Trek Generations,'' was profoundly influenced by Campbell.  ''Star Wars'' and its series, and dozens of other popular, economically lucrative movies follow formats and principles first espoused and placed into print by John W. Campbell, Jr.
 
 
"One of the very few science fiction writers not trained by Campbell was Ron Hubbard, a wizard of a genius in his own right -- eagle scout, explorer, aviator, world traveler, and writer of western tales, true adventures ... oh, yes!  According to Campbell, Hubbard could also carry a tune in any part of four harmonies!
 
 
"Campbell collected geniuses, frequently holding talk fests at his New Jersey home.  Among those invited to share in this literal buffet of creative ideas was L. Ron Hubbard, and so John W. Campbell, Jr. and L. Ron Hubbard became fast friends.
 
 
"During the forties and later, L. Ron Hubbard wrote some of the definitive fantasy and science fiction stories, many published in either ''Astounding Science Fiction'' or ''Unknown'' magazine, the latter [being] a short-lived Campbellian publication dedicated to the telling of fairy tales in a modern vein.  L. Ron Hubbard was superb in ''Astounding,'' but in ''Unknown,'' he excelled.
 
 
"Single-handedly, Campbell created modern science fiction as a vehicle for a new way of thinking!  He is considered by many to have had the most challenging mind and the most constructive influence on the United States from the 1930s up to the end of the 1960s.
 
 
"Looking back on the true influence of ''Astounding Science Fiction'' magazine, only now can we begin to realize the huge influence Campbell had on promulgating Hubbard's ''Dianetics''!  Furthermore, this was not simply a public relations stunt, because John W. Campbell and his wife, Margaret, practiced the principles of Dianetics until each passed on.
 
 
"The above brief description of John W. Campbell, Jr. should set to rest the idea that "Dianetics was promulgated in ''just'' a science fiction pulp magazine!"  Yes ... but a magazine with tremendous reach and influence!  As fact, the book ''Dianetics'' took off like a rocket!"

Early life

Perry was born February 6, 1925 in Saint Paul Minnesota to Anthony Louis Fabio and Beatrice Etta (née Perry). At the age of six his father was killed. Perry's mother later remarried George Herbert Chapdelaine, a horologist (watchmaker) and engraver. Perry was the only child of George and Beatrice Chapdelaine. When Perry was fourteen he started regularly reading the magazine - Astounding Science Fiction. After he graduated from Mason City Iowa High School, he attended Mason City Junior College, with the intent of becoming a research chemist, for his freshman year and then transferred to the University of Minnesota in his sophomore year. In November, 1944, Perry joined the army and was sent to the University of West Virginia to learn to be a civil engineer. In August, 1945, the war was over and Perry was discharged from active service. Perry used his veteran's benefits to enroll in the Iowa State Teachers College (now known as the University of Northern Iowa) where he graduated in 1947 with a B.A. in mathematics, and minors in chemistry, physics, and psychology. When Perry was twenty-one he legally changed his last name to Chapdelaine. Perry furthered his education by attending George Peabody College for Teachers (now a part of Vanderbilt University). While there, as a graduate student, Perry met and fell in love with Ruby, an assistant librarian working at the College. He also joined the American Legion. In 1949 Perry obtained his M.A. in mathematics, with a minor in psychology.

High School graduation picture

Perry returned to Cedar Falls, Iowa where he taught mathematics, for one year, at his alma mater, the Iowa State Teachers College. In 1949 Perry and Ruby were married in Mason City, where Perry then taught at Mason City Junior High School. On February 23, 1950, Perry and Ruby welcomed their first child, Perry Anthony Chapdelaine Jr. Now married with one child, Perry found that his was salary impossible to live on, so he first drove a taxicab nights and then, later, took part-time employment at the Sears, Roebuck Company Department Store. He was offered an assistant manager training position but after a few months declined. During all of those growth years Perry was still reading - Astounding Science Fiction.

In the December, 1949, edition of Astounding Science Fiction editor John W. Campbell announced an upcoming article about Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard. Perry was an avid reader of the magazine and had followed with interest the build up to the first article about Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma. The mental image pictures are believed on the basis of personal revelation to be comprising mental activity created and formed by the spirit, and not by the body or brain. (BPL 24 Sept 73 V) 2.

It disposed of body illness and the difficulties a thetan was having with his body. (HCOB 22 Apr 69)...more in the May, 1950, issue of Astounding Science Fiction. That article was titled Dianetics1.

The mental image pictures are believed on the basis of personal revelation to be comprising mental activity created and formed by the spirit, and not by the body or brain. (BPL 24 Sept 73 V) 2.

He formed a small group, in Mason City, Iowa, to try to figure out what was reverie and how one knew when they were encountering an engram1. a mental image picture which is a recording of a time of physical pain and unconsciousness. It must by definition have impact or injury as part of its content. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) 2. a specialized kind of facsimile. This differs from other mental pictures because it contains, as part of its content, unconsciousness and physical pain. (Dn 55!, p. 12) 3. a complete recording, down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or full unconsciousness. (Scn 0-8, p. 11)...more. In order to better understand Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma.

Dn addresses the body. Thus Dn is used to knock out and erase illnesses, unwanted sensations, misemotion, somatics, pain, etc. Dn came before Scn. It disposed of body illness and the difficulties a thetan was having with his body. (HCOB 22 Apr 69)...more Perry made plans to take the HDA (Hubbard Dianetic Auditor) course that was being offered in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

His first action was to move his family to his wife's parent's home in Mobile, Alabama, a drive of over 1,051 miles in his Frazer Manhattan automobile. While in Mobile, Perry met a businessman, by the name of Clint McDade, who paid Perry to auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) him on the Dianetic techniques. In order to pay for the course, which cost five hundred dollars, Perry sold his life insurance policy, which his parents had paid into for years. Perry drove to Elizabeth, a journey of over 1,178 miles, where he started the six week HDA course. His course took place at the original Hubbard Research FoundationAn evening, part-time organization. It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976) which had been established by L. Ron Hubbard, Don Rogers (an electrical engineer), John W. Campbell, Jr., and others.

During this time Hubbard was primarily in Los Angeles, California but would, once a week, fly in and give lectures to the approximately forty students on the course. Of that time Perry recalls - "He had worked out this business about ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more and he started talking about that. We auditor1. one who listens and computes; a Scn practitioner. 2. one who has been trained in the technology of Scn.

Notes)...more, we wanted to hear about how to yank out engrams."[1] John Campbell also lectured once a week, primarily on how to harass the crowd that is harassing you while also explaining Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma. The mental image pictures are believed on the basis of personal revelation to be comprising mental activity created and formed by the spirit, and not by the body or brain. (BPL 24 Sept 73 V) 2.

On January 15, 1951 the State of New Jersey served the FoundationAn evening, part-time organization. It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976) with a complaint of operating a school for the treatment of disease without a license. Perry recalled that time period - "I was at Elizabeth, NJ when the service of process from the NJ attorney general’s office was served. My HDA was received, you’ll note, in January 1951 and since it was a six week course I had to be there during Xmas of 1950. They didn't exist without students. They had to shut down or folks would go to jail. Of those who started the foundation: Winter, Roger, Campbell and Hubbard, Roger was there toward the end. A PhD in chemistry who was very unstable broke down. Roger asked me to take care of him until they could haul him off to an asylum a long way away the next morning. I stayed with the guy on the third floor of an empty house. He would not sleep, but constantly dramatized his engrams with physical motions. We hauled him off. That’s the last time I saw Rogers."[2] Despite those events Perry, in the last HDA class before the New Jersey Attorney General shut the foundation down, finished his course on January 19, 1951 and headed back to Alabama. However the place where Perry had had his engine oil changed had forgotten to replace the oil fill cap and his engine failed as a result of a loss of oil. Fortunately for Perry, Clint McDade wired him the money to get his car fixed.

Once back with his family in Mobile, Perry set up a Dianetic study center there and one in Fairhope, Alabama. One member of Perry's group in Fairhope, was Marge Bridges, who would later join the Sea OrgAbbreviation for Sea Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).. During that time period paying PC1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life.

(HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. one who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63)'s were a rare find and Perry had one in Clint. Perry continued to auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) Clint but eventually came to a conclusion - "I worked with my preclear1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life. (The Phoenix Lectures, p. 20) 2. a spiritual being who is now on the road to becoming Clear, hence preclear. (HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. one who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63) ''Abbr.''

It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976) to Wichita Kansas.

(Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976) was going to host the First Annual Conference of Hubbard Dianetic Auditors from June 25 to June 30, 1951 and he made plans to attend. Perry brought Clint and two members of the Mobile and Fairhope, Alabama Dianetic club with him to Wichita. On June 28, 1951, a Thursday evening, the conferees attended a banquet given by the FoundationAn evening, part-time organization. It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976) staff. The first limited edition copies of Science of Survival were presented at the banquet to those who had ordered the manuscript edition. Perry had his copy autographed by Hubbard. (Note from Perry in 2014: "I gave my signed manuscript of Science of Survival, along with some other early books, to the Church in California. Last I saw of it was in a display casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) opened to his signature. I didn’t ask any money for it."). On June 29, 1951, at the business section of the conference, the Association of Hubbard Dianteic Auditors, International was formed. Out of the one hundred and twelve HDA's that were there, Perry was elected as its secretary. While there, Perry learned that a male and a female, Ron's regular auditors at the FoundationAn evening, part-time organization. It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976), wanted to leave. Those two took over the auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) of Clint and Perry was hired to auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor.

Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).

Perry drove back to Mobile and moved his wife and son to Wichita where he worked under Ross Lamoreaux, who had a PhD in psychology, in the processing section of the FoundationAn evening, part-time organization. It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). All through July to October Perry auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) and also attended about thirty-six lectures given by Hubbard. During that time Ron assigned Perry a specific task - "Because of my degrees in mathematics Hubbard hired me to produce axioms and logics for Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma.

During this time period Hubbard was auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) every day, mostly on himself and those sessions became his lectures. Perry described Hubbard's auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) as - "Ron’s “research” consisted mainly of two types; (1) stuff he could re-write from other folks’ writings and (2) stuff he derived from his own daily auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) sessions. Of course he did other type of research by observing auditors and their preclears, but in the early days it was mainly one and two above. When Ron lectured and said (paraphrase) that to understand an apple one should study an apple, he was referring to number 2 above.

(Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) him on October 25, 1951. Perry describes the session - "Ron pretty well ran himself in session. Ron went through the whole “History of Man” sequence during that period. The content in what I auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) is the same as in the History of Man book."[6] On October 26, 1951, Ron delivered three lectures to HDA students in Wichita, titled Evolution of Man According to the Facsimile. According to Perry - "Hubbard was, was experimenting with ah going out, moving outside the body. We had a fellow (Bob Eubanks)... he came to the door and before he could almost walk into the house he (Hubbard) said ah - be three feet behind your head and ah this fellow was, he did and ah he begun acting very weird from that time on and Hubbard just laughed and laughed, he thought that was really funny."[7] Perry, occasionally, was auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor.

With Ron talking about past lives, Don felt that this would discredit the Dianetic movement.

(HCOB 22 Apr 69)...more and everything in it, and he offered Hubbard $100 a lecture for him to lecture and so in a, in a sense Hubbard felt constrained because now he was owned by somebody instead of his own man."[8]

Around this time Hubbard was also working on a separate project in which Perry was involved. Ron had Perry go the library and pick up a book of civil engineering people’s addresses. Perry had the girls in the office, three of them, type these addresses on a little silk screen address master. They went through that whole book tying out those names and addresses. Ron was starting the Allied Scientists of the World. Perry recalls this - "I also worked with a number of typists in preparing names and addresses for an organization that was to be known as the “Allied Scientists of the World,” a complex Hubbardian scheme designed to end war and to bring about the first Dianetic community. He wanted to set up a Dianetic community out in the desert. He wanted to build Hydrogen bomb proof shelters, and in those shelters he wanted to put the trade secrets of all the different industrialists, and if any nation wanted to start a war they would be denied access to those trade secrets."[9][10] The first letters were sent out from the Allied Scientists of the World on November 23, 1951, from their address at 941 17th street, Denver, Colorado. As an employee of the FoundationAn evening, part-time organization. It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976), Perry performed many other duties such as; Self Analysis (published August 1951) and Handbook for Preclears (published December 1951) were completed by Hubbard in manuscript form, and Perry brought the manuscripts, along with the Axioms and Postulates, to the printer for reproduction.

From December 27 to December 30, 1951, Ron delivered eleven lectures at the second annual conference of Hubbard Dianetic Auditors, in Wichita. They were delivered in the Crystal Room of the Shirkmere Hotel. On the Monday following the December Conference a group of Dianeticists met at Ron’s home for an informal discussion on auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) techniques, three recordings were taken; Perry attended both events. Perry recalled what happened to the Allied Scientists of the World - "I was summoned to Hubbard’s house one night at 3:00 a.m. He handed me a plane ticket and described a problema problem is postulate-counter-postulate, terminal-counter-terminal, force-counter-force. It’s one thing versus another thing. You’ve got two forces or two ideas which are interlocked of comparable magnitude and the thing stops right there. All right, now with these two things one stuck against the other you get a sort of a timelessness, it floats in time.

He’d rented an office in Denver and purchased office furniture for it. He’d hired a young lady to travel to Denver and take control of the Allied Scientist of the World office. This lady had used him for a free ticket to Denver, and then disappeared. There was a secretary working in the office. I was to fly there and take care of it since many memberships for the Allied Scientists of the World should be now coming in the mail containing membership fees. That next morning when I opened the Denver office door I began getting hit with one-after-the-other of FBI, BBB, newspaper reporters and so on. There was no end to it, as though it was all planned to wear me down, which it did. This was the “McCarthy” era, immediately after WWII. Senator Joseph McCarthy waged relentless, unsubstantiated accusations against any and everyone he felt might be associated with communists. Since our Government through the military was still engaged in secret contracts with a major portion of industry, no engineer or scientist would be permitted to join an organization whose board of directors was not known and purposes clearly revealed. Hubbard did not want to reveal that he was the sole member behind the Allied Scientists of the World, so, therefore, the order had gone out across America to learn the hidden facts about this new organization. Our returns from thousands of names invited to become members was sparse. As I remember, it was about three out of thousands invited — and those were probably from the FBI! I talked to Ross Lamoreaux by phone briefly while at Denver and learned that Don Purcell had placed a listening device on Hubbard’s telephone. When I next talked to Hubbard I told him what I’d learned and about the scarcity of membership applications. The Allied Scientists of the World was closed and I went back to Wichita, but not to work at the FoundationAn evening, part-time organization. It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976)."[11] Perry was pretty upset with the whole situation and had his wife, which was the first time his wife had ever driven on a highway, drive from Wichita to Denver to pick him up. Perry describes what he did next - "Now without financial support for my family, I was invited by Dianetic club members at Mobile, AL and also those in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to help them get their auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) and club in order. I accepted the Minneapolis invitation and, soon after my arrival, met Ronald B. Howes in the hospital, and began processing Ronald B. Howes."[12]

Perry auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) Howes at the Center, which was close to the University of Minnesota. Perry threw out what he had learned at Elizabeth and used the principles he learned from being around Hubbard in Wichita. At one time Perry asked Howes to re-balance all the control centers of his body and his whole left side of his body vibrated like mad. He came out with attributes that were unbelievable. After the second or third auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) session Perry brought him out and everyone who knew him were convinced that he was Clear3. a Clear is not an all-knowing being. A Clear is somebody who has lost the mass, energy, space and time connected with the thing called mind . ( SH Spec 80, 6609C08) ...more. That event was taped. Perry called Hubbard and told him about that event. Perry described what happened - "As soon as I was convinced that Ronald B. Howes’ new state was stable I telephoned L. Ron Hubbard who was still in Wichita, KS, but no longer associated with Don Purcell.... There was a long pause, and then Ron said, “So, it was you, Perry!” Then I remembered that long ago L. Ron Hubbard had gazed out to nothing and had predicted that in January or February something good would happen to Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma.

Up until this time Hubbard had not been able to substantially demonstrate someone who was Clear and as a result interest in Dianetics1.

Perry felt that he had accomplished the goal of someone who demonstrated the attributes of a Clear and felt that he should let the world know about it. Perry tells what he did next - "The impact on the Minneapolis Dianetic community was great but isolated, and I knew that I was going to have to take the responsibility of telling the world. I had no money, a child and wife to support, and no real knowledge or training on how to go about telling the world. But my deep conviction brought me to telephoning other Dianetic groups around the United States. One such, in Phoenix, AZ, invited me to lecture. Believing there would be a small crowd, I fearfully spent the little bit of funds I had for plane fare and headed outward, mission and zeal unabated. There was a surprisingly large crowd, including a member of the Arizona Appeals Court, Fred Struckmeyer (Fred eventually went on to become a justice of the Supreme Court and retired from there) and his attorney brother, Jim Struckmeyer. (I later became friends with both, and auditedThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) both, but that’s a different story.).... My next invitation after Phoenix came from science fiction writer, A.E. van Vogt, who later became an endearing friend. He was then married to science fiction writer who wrote under the pseudonym of E. Mayne Hull. The van Vogts invited me to spend a couple of weeks living with them and lecturing at their non-bankrupted Hubbard Dianetic Research FoundationAn evening, part-time organization. It's hours are 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Saturday and Sunday. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976) in Hollywood. Again the crowds were huge, and I communicated the best I could. At one of these evening lectures I was approached by Volney Mathison who had a box with two electrical terminals attached that the preclear1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life. (The Phoenix Lectures, p. 20) 2. a spiritual being who is now on the road to becoming Clear, hence preclear. (HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. one who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63) ''Abbr.'' PC was to hold in his or her two hands. This device, Mathison claimed, would identify engrams. He offered to provide me with fifty percent of the proceeds if I’d sell them during my lectures. I turned down the offer."[14]

Undaunted Mathison approached Hubbard who was still in Wichita, Kansas, where Hubbard began experimenting with the device. When Perry got back to Wichita, Hubbard had invited all the auditors into a school auditorium and there sitting on stage was Hubbard with Volney’s box. On February 2, 1952, Ron delivered the lecture Psychogalvanometer, Mysticism Groups. Perry describes this event - "When I returned to Wichita, Kansas, Hubbard called a meeting for all auditors. Since he and Don Purcell were now at loggerheads our meeting took place in a school auditorium. Here Hubbard described some of the things he’d learned by using the Mathison meter2. Hubbard Electrometer. An electronic instrument for measuring mental state and change of state in individuals, as an aid to precision and speed in auditing. The E-meter is not intended or effective for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. (Scn AD)...more."[15]

From there Perry visited and lectured at other groups near Los Angeles (one lecture occurred on March 2 and one on April 8, 1952), San Francisco and Berkeley, California, Vancouver, Canada, the states of Oregon and Washington, Norwalk, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New York, New York and back to my original home base of Mobile, Alabama. The last time that Perry saw of his old friend and mentor was as he sat on his porch at his home, there fielding questions from a handful of visitors. After the touring Perry recounts what he did - "I accepted a request to start a center near Berkeley, California, where my wife and our first born moved. One of those on my board, George Seidel, is now considered the longest running first book auditor1. one who listens and computes; a Scn practitioner. 2. one who has been trained in the technology of Scn. An auditor applies standard technology to preclears. 3. a person who through church training becomes skilled in the successful application of Dn and Scn to his family, friends and the public to achieve the ability gained as stated on the Gradation Chart for his class of training...more."[16] He named his Dianetic Center - "Health and Happiness, Incorporated", which was up and running by August 1952.

On October 12, 1952, the Chapdelaine's welcomed the arrival of their second child - Randolph. Later on Perry was invited by Ross Lamoreaux to auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) at his new, independent Dianetic center in Phoenix. Perry accepted the offer and closed down his center in Berkeley. Eventually Perry left Ross’s organization and purchased a house in Phoenix, AZ with the intent of auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) for a living. By the end of 1953 his wife was pregnant with their third child.

In 2014 Perry gave the reason for his decision - "The main reason I left was to support a constantly growing family. Paying preclears were few and far between. Also I felt that the technologyThe methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) ''Abbr.'' tech was not there as yet".[17] Perry's wife, Ruby, was just fine with his decision to give up auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor.

In 1954 Perry moved his family back to Mobile, Alabama, where he took a job with the U.S Air Force, at the Mobile Air Material Area, a United States Air Force supply and aircraft repair depot for airplanes and their ground support equipment, working as a professional psychometrist. On July 17, 1954, the Chapdelaine's welcomed their new child - Cheryl Elaine. At work Perry was promoted from GS-5 entry level to GS-9, but even though Perry was advancing rapidly in pay grade, he was also acquiring an increasing number of children which pushed him to earn more. One of his opportunities was teaching evening school at the Jesuit Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama. Spring Hill College had a beautiful campus, dedicated Jesuit professors and had long played a wonderful historical role in Alabama as well as for the nation. On December 14, 1956, the Chapdelaine's welcomed another child - Joseph G. On January 20, 1958, the Chapdelaine's welcomed another child - Michael M.

Perry's family in 1954

One day the top ranking civilian in the Air Material Area, one who sat next to the General’s office, and Perry were walking together after lunch when he mentioned that Perry should look into the coming profession of computers, including programmer and system design specialties. The computer field was indeed beginning to boil into visibility because the USUnited States. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).

They had two jobs, one was programmer which is primarily a coder, and the other is systems analyst, the guy who designs the necessary systems. Perry's degrees in mathematics also qualified him, according to various USUnited States. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).

On January 7, 1960, the Chapdelaine's welcomed twins, Rebecca A. and John T., to their family.

In 1960 Perry returned to the Air Force, with a promise of a GS-13 level (equivalent to a major), back again to the Air Material Command, this time to work at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. This position was to ride herd on the program he had designed. Perry's ideas were still endorsed and he was assigned to work in a unit that was supposed to place these new programs on a computer, thus allowing for statistical evaluation of aircraft and ground support failed items worldwide. Part of Perry's evolution into computers would also encompass virtually 60% of the total Air Material Command’s management system. On March 15, 1961, the Chapdelaine's welcomed another child - Patricia T. On May 21, 1962, the Chapdelaine's welcomed another child - Candace C.

Perry worked in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the Department of Agriculture for a short time. Perry left there before he had hardly started because he couldn’t find a decent, affordable place to park his ten kids and his wife. In 1965 Perry moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee, where he went to work at the Father Ryan High School teaching math for a year. He also spent evenings teaching math at the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial University (now known as the Tennessee State University). Perry then applied for a position as Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University. On 27 May 1966, Perry was notified by a letter, signed by the Dean of Faculty, that he was being recommended to the Tennessee State Board of Education for employment effective 15 September 1966. In 1967 Perry wrote to Dr. Patrick Suppes regarding the status of the mathematics education at Tennessee A & I State University. Dr. Suppes invited Perry to Stanford University and in follow ups helped him to obtain a half million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation. Perry became the Project Director of a Computer Assisted Instruction laboratory at Tennessee A & I State University. That same year one of Perry's short stories, To Serve The Masters, was published in the September edition of ''If', a science fiction magazine. In 1968 he was also teaching nightly at University of Tennessee at Nashville, respectively all white and all black Universities, becoming the only “integrated” teacher during the Black fight to control all higher education in Nashville. If magazine published another of Perry's short stories, "We Fused Ones", in it's July, 1968, edition. In 1969 If published two of Perry's novelettes; "Spork of the Ayor", in it's April, 1969, edition and "To The Last Rite!" in it's October, 1969, edition.

Perry's ten children in the early 60's

Perry completed his three year probationary period, at the Tennessee State University, in June 1969, and was employed for the school year 1969-1970. Each year his salary had been increased.

On 18 August 1970, Dr. Andrew Torrence advised Chapdelaine that his service at the Tennessee State University would terminate on 30 September, 1970. On 8 September, 1970, Chapdelaine made a written "formal request for a hearing before the Tennessee State Board of Education on the dismissal action, a meeting he never was granted. On 16 September, 1970, Dr. Torrence addressed a letter to Chapdelaine advising of an employment arrangement whereby he would be employed for the school year 1970-71, jointly by the University of Tennessee, Nashville Center and Tennessee State University, at a salary of $10,000. Chapdelaine accepted the offer of employment. On 11 March, 1971, the Chancellor of the University of Tennessee, Nashville Center and Dr. Torrence addressed letters to Chapdelaine advising that he would not be employed full time for the academic year 1971-72.

After his dismissal from the Universities Perry tried other things to make a living; such as creating the City of Fairview’s first decent newspaper, then working as the city manager for Fairview. After selling three novels ("Swampworld West", published April 18, 1974, "Swampworld West", Italian edition, published November 1976, and "The Laughing Terran", published September 22, 1977), several novellas and short stories Perry decided to become a full-time science fiction writer. This was not to be! By the 1980's his life had hit rock bottom. So-called “incurable” arthritis had descended upon Perry with a frightening vigor! Not only did he have a hard time turning door knobs, but the act of typing was impossible and his little finger was beginning to twist; Perry was depressed and his world was shattering.
