It began when I was living in Michigan in the spring of 1975 and I saw an ad in a magazine for ‘Fundamentals of Thought’. I sent for the book, loved it and sent for more books. Then began a phone regAbbreviation for register, registrar, registration. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976)
cycle that led to a weekend trip to FCDC (Founding Church of Scientology, Washington D.C.) in May 75. At the time I was 30 years old and my life was going well. I had a good job, a new house, new corvette convertible, lots of friends, my family loved me and I had women knocking my door down (so, I exaggerate once in a while). Just ‘stuff’. I was bored. I needed adventure. Well, I sure got it.
During my first weekend at FCDC I did intro course, Life repair (which didn’t take long) and I was blown away. I bought the bridge! I flew home, quit my job, put my house up for sale, 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 broke everyone, packed up the vette and was back at FCDC as a full time public by the end of the week. Wow, did I make things go right!
Initially, I was disappointed when I found out there were other OrgsShort for organization. (HCO PL 8 Sept 69) and that LRHL. Ron Hubbard wasn’t at FCDC. I really wanted to meet him. Regardless, I burned the midnight oil at FCDC and had comp after comp.

Case Supervisor. 2. Commodore's Staff. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).. My OCA’s were all redlined and my needle floated all the time. Life was good! I spent two days touring all the Missions in Connecticut with a mission holder I’d met. I was going to work for him for a while, then open my own missions in Mich. I wanted to bring Scientology to my family and friends. During this time the COAbbreviation for 1. Commanding Officer. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). The org is commanded by the Commanding Officer (SO orgs). (HCO PL 7 Mar 72) of FCDC, Greg Wilhere, was trying very hard to get me on staff. Sorry Greg. I was interning in the “ivory Tower’ as a CSAbbreviation for 1. Case Supervisor. 2. Commodore's Staff.

She was persistent and found my buttons: ‘LRHL. Ron Hubbard needs your help. He’s setting up a hotel and needs you to help him.’ The help LRHL. Ron Hubbard button worked.
I signed a billion year contract and left the next day for the FOLOFlag Operations Liaison Office in New York. This was Nov. 75. I was then flown to Clearwater where the Fort Harrison was just purchased. I was assigned to the renos crew and was again disappointed as there was no sign of LRHL. Ron Hubbard. I did renos for a while and became friends with Marcus Swanson. We then were assigned to the security forcel. random effort. (Scn 0-8, p. 75) 2. energy with some direction.

I worked for Wayne Marple (great guy). I was then assigned as a security guard at the Duneden complex. Finally! LRHL. Ron Hubbard was there. I was blown away but very nervous. Please Steve don’t mess this up. Well, I did.
LRHL. Ron Hubbard was bigger than life. He went for a walk with a messenger about my second day on duty. The complex at Duneden was a long row of apartment buildings, mostly empty. The complex was at the very end. There was a two story building with apartments and garages where all the berthing and offices were and across from it was a one story building used for storage. Most of the other buildings were vacant. I was told to protect the complex. Well, when LRHL. Ron Hubbard went for his walk, I stayed around the complex. LRHL. Ron Hubbard walked with the messenger up to a recreation building, spent a little while, came back to the complex and looked a little upset. They went inside without as much as a nod.
Disappointed again.
Then the messenger came out and told me LRHL. Ron Hubbard was upset that I didn’t follow him out to the rec building. That’s when I first met my wonderful friend Lois Jory. She was so nice and we became friends. From then on I followed LRHL. Ron Hubbard like a shadow. The next day when he came out for his walk he asked my name and was very friendly. Over the next few months I became a fixture around there. I met everyone. Great group of OTs. LRHL. Ron Hubbard always stopped to talk on his walks. Life was good again.
I hadn’t completed my bridge purchase at FCDC and needed money. Someone told me to petition Mary Sue for a refund, I did and got my money within a week. I always loved Mary Sue. She was a special lady. I then asked for a couple weeks leave to go back to FCDC to pick up my mest1. a coined word, meaning matter, energy, space and time, the physical universe. All physical phenomena may be considered as energy operating in space and time. The movement of matter or energy in time is the measure of space. All things are mest except theta.

(PDC 12) 5. any or all arrangements of energy, of whatever kind, whether in fluid or object form, in space or spaces. (Dn 55!, p. 9) left there. While at FCDC I saw some old friends and was asked if I had met LRHL. Ron Hubbard and I said yes I was a security guard for him. I was very proud of that. While there I saw some people I recognized but couldn’t place. Upon arrival back at Duneden I sure found out who they were.
They were messengers Claire and David Rousseau, who apparently reported on me for out security. The G.O. assigned me to my first lower conditionA condition is an operating state. (SH Spec 62, 6505C25). I felt destroyed. But, I worked with the ethics1. The rules or standards governing the conduct of the members of a profession. (HCO PL 3 May 72). 2.

Ron Hubbard, Mary Sue, included. Wow! I didn’t know it at the time but I had gone back to FCDC just when LRHL. Ron Hubbard went to DC with Claire and David.
I then got on LRHs good side. We were being surveilled by the the Saint Petersburg Times wanting a story about LRHL. Ron Hubbard . I was on duty one day when I saw a car pull up by one of the empty buildings. A man got out of the car, saw me and went into the courtyard of a building and started walking through toward our complex. I headed him off and told him he was trespassing. He said he was from the SPSuppressive Person: 2. a person who rewards only down statistics and never rewards an up statistic. He goofs up or vilifies any effort to help anybody and particularly knifes with violence anything calculated to make human beings more powerful or intelligent. A suppressive automatically and immediately will curve any betterment activity into something evil or bad...More Times and wanted to interview LRHL. Ron Hubbard. He was a nice guy so I told him I sure would like to meet him too, but this is a United Churches property and I’m here to protect their privacy. I watched him like a hawk till he left, then reported the incident to the G.O. LRHL. Ron Hubbard loved the story and I got my first very well done. What a kick! LRHL. Ron Hubbard left soon after and I went on warehouse duty in Tampa. Then came WHQWinter HeadQuarters. LRH's home and operational center in California.
