Reg Sharpe.

This beginning of a biography of Reg Sharpe, who was one of many prominent figures in English Scientology in late 50s and early 60s, is written by Antony Phillips. I have put the main data I have on Reg Sharpe, but there is a lot missing, not only date of birth, how he came into Scientology, and more. If you have more data, please enter it here, or write to me, Antony Phillips at ant.phillips@post8.tele.dk.

Reg Sharpe was well off. I understood that he made his money by meeting a need of the time. Television was new, transistor 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 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 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 fairly robust, cathode ray tubes of that size (the largest in the beginning was 12 inches) were not. 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 HASIAbbreviation for Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). (Scientology) premises in Fitzroy Street, near Tottenham Court Road, London.

Auditor's Associations

What I remember was that at the end of the 50s both Reg Sharpe and HASIAbbreviation for Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). London ran meetings for field auditors. I remember going to a meeting at the Telesurance offices one evening, and also meetings at the HASIAbbreviation for Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).. Once I went to a HASIAbbreviation for Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). London 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's meeting at Fitzroy Street, to find chairs set out for (I think) twenty or so people, and on each chair was a sheet of paper saying that anyone who had been to one of Reg Sharpe's meetings was not allowed to attend. (!)

Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R)

The next time I was aware of Reg Sharpe was when I worked at Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R). He was administrator of the Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Briefing Course, and I believe his wife, Jenny Edmunds (?spelling) was an instructor (I think this was before instructors were forbidden, replaced by supervisors). He had a house at Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Green, a rather typical English village green about 500 meters from Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Manor. Apparently Ron had two electric organs at Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R), and he played duets with Reg on the other organ, and this is mentioned on a briefing course tape.

This is Life

While at Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Reg wrote a book, entitled This is Life. 100 pages, Published by Hubbard Communications Office Ltd, Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Manor. My edition has a sticky label in the 2nd page saying it was Published November 1961 and Reprinted July 1962. Chapter headings are: Stable data, Cycle of Action, The Emotional Scale, Understanding, Communication, The Eight Dynamics, Your Mind Your Body and You, More about the Dynamics, Pictures, Games, Conclusion, with a list of Scientology Organisations and some Scientology publication.

Postscript

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 HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) 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. It would be interesting to know what happened to Reg and more details about him. This site is open to small contributions (or large!).- Antony Phillips
