Sarge Stories
LRHL. Ron Hubbard Arrives at Creston
Toward the end of my years as ‘rover’ I lived in an RV park in a small town called Devore. Devore was a little town north of San Bernadino California. I coined the term ‘Rover’ as I didn’t really have a postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200)
. During those years I just floated around and did backup stuff for Pat Broker and LRHL. Ron Hubbard. We used the Devore RV park for ‘meets’ with DM and JB and a safe place for Pat and I to operate from. .
Early 1983, after LRHs birthday in March, Pat brought a horse to Devore. The horse was a beautiful thoroughbred mare named ‘January’. January was a birthday present from Pat and Annie Broker to LRHL. Ron Hubbard. We found a local with a corral for rent in the town of Devore and I took care of ‘January’. I fed, brushed and curried her and would ride her around the corral bareback (didn’t have a saddle). She loved me and I her.
One day in early May ‘83’ Pat came with a horse trailer and we loaded January up and off they went. Pat also had me look for another RV park where we could park an
RV or vehicle. I found a place on hwy 95(?) west of Victorville, Cal. It was a little RV park tucked away in a box canyon in the mountains. Later on when I was courier at Creston I would use this park as a vehicle relay point to change vehicles before going to Int (S) or LA. Well, after the Beverly Hills restaurant thing where Pat and DM had me burning a 20 dollar bill, I knew something was up.
It was mid May of ‘83’ when Pat showed up at the Devore RV park and told me to
pack up my stuff. He said I was moving and wouldn’t be back. We drove for a long time and finally we arrived at the sleepy little town of Creston. Creston was a small town in the coastal range of California in San Luis Obispo county. This was horse country.
Kenny Rogers had a big horse ranch there. Creston had two bars (Longbranch and Loadingshute), a Church, a small school, Post office and a few houses. Whispering Winds Ranch was about a mile south of town on a private road.
Pat didn’t tell me where we were going until we made the turn south of Creston. Pat said I was going to a ranch to work for the ‘old man’. Pat told me that I needed to choose an AKA (also known as) name to use. We had the radio on and the group ‘Carpenters’ were singing ‘its only just begun’. So I said Carpenter. I needed to choose a first name and I had to eliminate other names I had used. I thought about it and I just wanted to be an ordinary ‘Joe’. So now I was ‘Joe Carpenter’.
We got settled in and Pat showed me around the ranch. I saw my old friend ‘January’ and she was as glad to see me as I her. I also met ‘Rojo’. Rojo was a large ‘American saddle’ horse that we got with the property. Rojo was suppose to be my horse. He was a gelding and had a great disposition. We got along fine.
I started to work the next day and met the electrical contractors that installed all the electrical for the RV hookups at the stables. I ran all the water lines and plumbing etc. I went to town and bought lots of tools etc to setup the place. The ranch had been neglected and was very runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) down after a messy divorce by the previous owner. The ranch looked bad but it had potential. Lots of work to do.
After a couple weeks of setups, about early to mid June, we had completed the setups and were ready for LRHL. Ron Hubbard. Pat took me for a walk and stopped me and said “Sarge! If you ever blow-v. ''Slang'' unauthorized departure from an area. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 II), I will track you down and I will kill you”. It was tone 40 and meant to impinge. Now, Pat and I didn’t always agree but we got along and I thought we were friends. This just blew-v. ''Slang'' unauthorized departure from an area. (HCOB 19 Jun 71 II) my mind3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE. Anyway he told me he was going to go get ‘the old man’ and Annie and to expect them mid to late afternoon.
I hung out at the stables and cleaned the stables apartment and took care of the horses etc and waited for his arrival. I was very nervous. I double checked everything.
There were two vehicles. The ‘Bluebird’ was a large bus converted into a motor home. The ‘Country Aire’was a 40 foot long trailer pulled by a truck. The ‘Bluebird’ entered the gate first and stopped about 50 yards from the stables next to the lake. Annie was driving. I was standing at the end of the stables when LRHL. Ron Hubbard came bounding out of the ‘Bluebird’ and yelled ‘SARGE!’. Yikes! Anyone who knew LRHL. Ron Hubbard can attest that he had a booming voice. Now all the neighbors knew he arrived. I was surprised and happy at the same time. I hurried to the Bluebird to greet him. By the time
I got there Annie was there beaming at me. She said ‘hello’ and gave me a big hug.
I don’t remember seeing LRHL. Ron Hubbard so excited. He was giddy. All smiles and I could tell he was happy to see me and finally have a home again. Wow!
LRHL. Ron Hubbard gave me a conspiratorial look and asked “what’s your handle”?
I said “Joe Carpenter”. He laughed and told me that was a great name. Made me feel good as I thought so too.
Then he said my name is ‘Jack Farnsworth’, and he laughed again. I told him that was a great name. We exchanged ‘shore stories’ so we were on the same page. Pat was Mike Mitchell, the owner of the property. Annie was Lisa Mitchell, Mike’s wife and LRHL. Ron Hubbard was Lisa’s father. I was Joe, a friend of the family hired to help runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) the property.
LRHL. Ron Hubbard stared at me, still smiling, and asked me “who do I look like”? I said I don’t know. He said “ no, really who do I look like”? He could tell I was uncomfortable so he said “Colonel Sanders!” He laughed again and then we all did. He really did. His hair was long and white with a little red and he had a beard and he was dressed like a southern gentlemen.
Pat and I got the RVs hooked up and everyone settled in while I cooked dinner. I setup a card table in the stables living room and we all sat around eating and talking. It was great. LRHL. Ron Hubbard loved what I cooked and that was the end of the first day at Creston.
all that glitters is not gold
I have never seen anything more disgusting to me than the way Pat Broeker and DM spent money that did not belong to them. Pat was the biggest’ hobby horser’ I ever saw and DM had his head up Pat’s ass. They were the bobsey twins with gold and diamond everything.
Just before I went to Creston Pat and DM ran a money thing on me. I was taken to Beverly Hills to a fancy restaurant, the valet parked the Van. Why? We had a very expensive meal. I was supposed to be impressed. Wasn’t. Then I was told to pull a twenty dollar bill out of my wallet and burn it in the ash tray. They both laughed at me because they said I was too frugal and needed to learn that money was not 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. (SH Spec 82, 6111C21) 2 . a problem is a postulate-counter-postulate resulting in indecision. That is the first manifestation of problems, and the first consequence of a problem is indecision.

I know if it were up to them I would not have been on those lines as I was too honest. Had it not been for LRHL. Ron Hubbard I would not have been at Creston.
In contrast LRHL. Ron Hubbard had all the money in the world and wouldn’t spend a dime on himself unless his statsAbbreviation for statistics.

CINE by Sarge
After my adventure as SupercargoThe Supercargo has general control and authority over Divisions 7, 1 and 2, and Departments 1 to 6, including communications, personnel, inspections, ethics, orders, publications, hand-books, manuals, operators' manuals for equipment, ship plans, crew education, schedules, crew's records, books and papers, shore contacts, entering and clearing vessels. (FO 1109) WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California, in 1977, I was happily a courier again. The Old Man had written up scripts for a new project called Cine. One day I was at the stables washing my vehicle when a messenger came and asked me to paint a backdrop to go behind a window. The Old Man was doing camera tests as a pre-production project called ‘get your feet wet’. The ‘date packing plant’ had been turned into a studio for ‘Cine’ shoots. I was chosen to paint a simple backdrop because I had been an artist since a kid and knew how to mix colors etc. I found an old sheet of plywood and used some house paint left over from renos. I painted a simple mountain landscape. I even added a tree or two.
Well, next day after my courier runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75), a messenger came up to me all excited and said LRHL. Ron Hubbard wants to see you. I was thinking about telling him I could do better if I had more time and some better materials, etc. Lots of justifiers. When I arrived at the Studio (makeshift affair put together from an old date packing plant), I found a very happy and excited LRHL. Ron Hubbard looking through a camera lens. He had me come over to look through the lens at my backdrop neatly framed by the window. Wow! Did I do that? It looked real. I was as impressed as he was. The Old Man called me a genius (again) and also called me Rembrandt.
During Cine the whole crew, including those with full-time postsA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) were used as extras, and held other part time Cine postsA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200). After Cine was in full production the Art Director at the time was found wandering around the alfalfa field talking to himself. Well….yes, (gulp) I was next. It’s amazing how it happened. Instead of the Old Man just posting me as Art Director, he sent Maria Starkey to ask me to help LRHL. Ron Hubbard out. There’s that help button again. Maria was now SupercargoThe Supercargo has general control and authority over Divisions 7, 1 and 2, and Departments 1 to 6, including communications, personnel, inspections, ethics, orders, publications, hand-books, manuals, operators' manuals for equipment, ship plans, crew education, schedules, crew's records, books and papers, shore contacts, entering and clearing vessels. (FO 1109) WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California. Well, I figured if I had a way out, I was going to take it. I said no thanks. Then, came Maria and Norman Starkey with their best regAbbreviation for register, registrar, registration. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976) hats1. The term and idea of a hat comes from conductors or locomotive engineers, etc., each of whom wears a distinctive and different type of headgear. A hat therefore designates particular status and duties in an organization. (HCO PL 22 Sept 70) 2. The duties of a post. (HCO PL 13 Sept 70) on and talked me into it.’ Shame Sarge, LRHL. Ron Hubbard needs you.’ Norman was the Producer (held half the org boardAbbreviation for organizing board. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).) and I was to be Art Director (and hold the other half). Scared to say the least. The Old Man was happy to have me on postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) and started me out on gradients again. I would read the scripts and submit a set design while I was also reading Cine hatA hat therefore designates particular status and duties in an organization. (HCO PL 22 Sept 70)...more material.
The first few set designs were approved with VWDs. Then it got rougher. It seems I was also in charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more of Sets, props, wardrobe, makeup and special effects etc. I had to handle a whole lot of natter, crying, temper tantrums, etc. I never got another approved set design. (justifiers again). I soon became overwhelmed. When I was reassigned to LEC (LRHL. Ron Hubbard External Comm) I was relieved and also felt I let the Old Man down. I assigned myself confusion as it seemed to fit.
Toward the end of Cine and WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California, the Old Man looked sick. The atmosphere was one of group bank2. a colloquial name for the reactive mind. This is what the procedures of Scn are devoted to disposing of, for it is only a burden to an individual and he is much better off without it. (Scn AD)...more against LRHL. Ron Hubbard and the CMOAbbreviation for Commodore's Messenger Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).. LRHL. Ron Hubbard invited anyone who didn’t want to be there to leave. Many did. I was walking from LEC in ‘Olives’ to the ranch house as many with bags were leaving and the Old Man was there with messengers. He walked up to me and I was surprised when he said, ‘well, are you leaving too?’. I looked him in the eyes and said ‘no Sir! I’m staying!’ I could tell he was not well, but he said ‘Good!’
