Aside from appointed short term EDs from Riverside to Honolulu, did any Riverside auditors go to Honolulu?
Not on a permanent basis. Mary Corydon and Diana Grenier came to Hawaii for a while to do some Life Repairs. At that point, the only classed auditor* on Hawaii staff was Liza Hedin, the woman in the picture with Yvonne Jentzsch, above. Liza was a Cl VI and did the SHSBC at St. Hill in the late 60's (she appears briefly in the film "Scientology: A Faith for Sale," shot there) and HSDC at ASHO circa 1970. Liza was auditing when I first arrived at the mission, but after the GO takeover she did not do any further auditing for a long time. She was a very good auditor, but tended to invalidate her own "tech knowingness" (pardon the sciologism) because she'd been trained so long ago.
There were some other classed auditors on Hawaii staff under the Walter Florian-era, pre-GO takeover regime. There was Gloria Neil, a woman about Liza's age who was actually a Cl VII (Power auditor). She was the only Cl VII I ever met. She left before the GO takeover, while I was still public.
There was Gail Peterson, Cl IV, who was course sup and I believe Tech Sec.
@Scout will remember her.
Several staff left very soon after finishing their Academy Levels at Hawaii Org: Jordan Nagasako (Gail's boyfriend) and Peter Alexander (not the guy who made the film "The Profit"). Their contracts ran out and they split for LA along with Gail to do the SHSBC. This was probably in the late Walter Florian period, my earliest days on staff.
Later on, shortly after Bent took over Honolulu Mission, Dennis Wright, who was the E/O at Honolulu Mission, finished his Academy Levels and became the first Hawaii/Riverside OOT (Outer Org Trainee). Missions don't usually have OOT's, but Riverside did. Dennis went to Riverside to get trained as an auditor under Mary. Not long after, we got word that Dennis had blown from Riverside. This came as a big shock, as Dennis always seemed very "on-purpose" and staff blowing was not common prior to that time. (It became VERY common later on.)
When I was in R'side, I happened to see the folder of a pc Dennis had audited. He was running R3R (dianetics), the chain was bogging, and he asked the pc, "What's happening?" I winced when I saw this, since you were NOT supposed to do this in the middle of a chain and I knew Mary would hit the roof. She did. "What is this doing in R3R? R3R is run MUZZLED!" etc., and wrote him a very big cram. So apparently he did not have an easy time of it as an auditor in R'side.
Many Hawaii public went to Riverside to have Life Repair delivered. This sounds crazy -- to put someone on a plane and send them 2500 miles to get something they could get locally -- but I think the reasons were:
0) If we delivered L/R at Honolulu Mission (w/out R'side auditors on site), the Hawaii Org would have to get involved, at least to do the C/Sing, but --
1) Riverside distrusted the Hawaii Org and wanted to have as little involvement with them as possible, fearing they would try to interfere with R'side's management of Honolulu Mission. The Org was a bit suspicious of R'side, too. (This situation improved as time went on.)
2) At the time Honolulu Mission and R'side sold L/R to result for $1500. The org wanted pc's to buy 3 intensives (36 hours), which would have been $1800 (@ $50/hr).
3) R'side thought their tech was better (maybe true).
*A "classed auditor" was an auditor who had a number, e.g. Cl IV, Cl VI, etc. In 1982 the lower part of the Grade Chart got flipped around and Dianetics, which used to come before Grades 0-IV, got moved after them. Prior to 1982, a Dianetic auditor (HSDC or NED) was the lowest level of professional auditor and didn't have a number, so he/she wasn't "classed." Today a NED auditor is a Cl V. Prior to 1982 there was no such thing.
