Lena and Per Svenlin

[DanLocke]

They were Folo West Crew in the early 80's.

Just want to say hi.

I knew them both, specially Lena as we went on a mission or two together. Anyone know where they are?

Nice to come here and see this after your kind remark. I did not know her well, but she was one of the friendliest execs I knew and she made a nice impression on me when I came to PAC. I think that they left in the 83 debacle, but perhaps earlier.

Were you Folo West Crew at one time?

Is it "ok" here to ask a person's real name, or does that just happen when another originates?

I take 'originates' to mean tells everyone. You can pretty much ask what you wish, don't expect an answer, and don't be surprised if you get suspicion from some. (personally I would consider it impolite, like asking what a person does for a living etc. sortta, but indentities are a bit of a different bird)
If someone knows you and wants to talk and still wishes to remain incognito then they'd probably send you a PM.
Lots of folks are still gun-shy of the cult, for many very good reasons.
Generally if someone doesn't mind their name being known they'll have posted such earlier though.
Just thought I'd say

Oh and a belated too!

Dan, I was at Flag for a few years and while I was there, met both Lena and Per during missions to FLWUS and also while they were briefly at Flag for this or that. Yeah, I liked them both -- very sane and sensible people. Like I said, I went on a mission or two with Lena and I remember how she used to adore reading those romance novels, always had several on her. Even among the bad times, she and I had some laughs together and I'll always remember her warmth and human-ness.

I was only at FLWUS on those missions but also from about June 82 to Oct 82 I was based at the Central Marketing Unit at PAC, and then got RPFd so spent a week or three there, then got called to Int for some serious handling after which I left. I think my lot -- comm ev'd by Steve Marlowe at Miscavige's bidding -- was the first bunch of execs to leave, and we sort of scattered round the end of 82 and early 83. I probably don't know you as my time at PAC was a bit of painful blur, and it was a long time ago now.

As Ogsonofgroo said, you can ask what you like. Some people here are fully "out" -- as in they're happy to have their identities known -- others sort of, others not at all except to a few friends. So if you do ask, their replies will vary.

I was at FLWUS in 82 when I heard that he got busted after some ethics sit that happened while he was on mission. I don't have the gory details.

Do you remember that weird Birthday Game celebration song that Irene and Jack had the FOLO singing, ie

Give my regards to Broadway, remember us to Bess and crew
Tell all the folks at FOLO East US that they are number 2 ...

"Bess" was Bess Sullivan, formerly CO of FLEUS.

Thanks very much you all for the very nice and informative responses to my query. I want to imagine that we'll get someone who has stayed in touch. Let's keep this thread alive for a bit longer, yes?

She then married Paul Kellerhals.
If I remember right, Bess was also LRH Comm International for a while when it was in the top floor of the ASHO building.
