Anyone who was at ASHO ?

[HappyGirl]

My husband and I were at ASHOF as public in the late nineties. We did the Ethics Spec. Crs and the Volunteer Ministers Course in the academy next door to the BC. I don't remember any names any more except the course sup was named Julie, and we had the best supe in the world (basically, he didn't apply the tech, he was just a nice guy) named Tyler. He was so good he was promoted and replaced with another Tyler who was godawful (he actually applied the tech, and any fun in the courseroom disappeared after that). For example, we liked to study in the practical room so we could secretly joke and degrade about the tech we were learning, but after the second Tyler showed up he made us study in the courseroom, so we couldn't talk any more. Do you remember an odd couple that liked to study in the practical room?

So that's where I know you from! The Auditor mag!!

As long as we’re playing that game, recognize anyone here? This was some promo that my husband (the printer of the Advance mags at the time) printed up for Narconon, early 70s.

I know what you mean. I was there too. I helped on setting up the shots for pictures in course rooms; This is weird isn't it ? Many course rooms were emptied so we had to wait lunch time, buy food so the public could stay for a course room shot during lunch time. We would get all the public from the differents course rooms to be able to fill one up. Then the picture would look great with all those people and it would appear in the Auditor Magazine but of course, it was not true. The course room were pratically all the time empty during the period I was there.
So what are you looking it ? The light ? a beautiful girl sitting across from you ? or being happy because this is the end of course time.

They nabbed staff too when the public were short on hand. I was at LAD in the early 90's....

Here's me experiencing spiritual ecstasy while doing so:

I'll have what he's having. :D

I knew James later on around 1990 when he was Tech C/S at ASHO. He was having some health problems but was still on post when I left. Any idea what happened to him or where he is now?

I don't know for sure. We lost touch with each other after I left ASHO in 1980. He was at ASHO for training and was supposed to come back to our Mission but ended up being stolen to serve out there.
I googled his name not too long ago. From what I can gather he cut an album of piano music and may live somewhere in CA north of LA.

I wonder what brought about his health problems? PTS to scientology perhaps?

Thank you for that!

Does anyone know if James is out of the cult? I would like to contact him only if he's not a churchie anymore.

I want to say James and Claire left, but I don't know where I heard that... hopefully someone else will have more information for you.

I was at ASHO in 73 and 74 as an outer org trainee. I was also on staff at the ASHOs between 79 and 98, with a couple years in there being a FLWUS member. I was often on tour though, sometimes for years and people would come and go without knowing me. Between 98 and 03, I was in the PAC RPF.

But I love to find old friends from PAC. I have only found a few. Most of the people who have left who are very visible seem to have been uplines.
