Founder of Scientology's Celebrity Centre

• I remember first meeting Yvonne on February 9, 1973, when she arrived as the headliner speaker for the grand opening of the Church of Scientology of San Diego. I was a poor U.S. sailor who had only been in Scientology about six months and was part time staff, working as a grader for the personality tests that we administered to new people. Yvonne walked through the front doors, passed though our small reception area and came right up to my desk as I was working. She introduced herself and we conversed, as if we were lifelong friends, for several minutes. To this day, some forty years later, I have not met another person with so much charisma and caring; she was an extraordinary lady, one I will never forget. I dedicate my work on her biography in her honor. Howard Dickman, April, 2013
