[Good twin]

I was the Mission Holder of a small but viable mission, the Church of Scientology Mission of Palm Beach. The mission was open evenings and weekends. The staff were dedicated and hardworking. They were a tight team who pulled together and pulled off just about anything I asked. I loved my post and I loved my team. I was completely enchanted by Scientology and felt like I was helping to clear the planet so every being on earth could have the wins I had.

I delivered Sunday Service every Sunday at 10:00 am. My Sunday Service was popular. It was my favorite part of the week. I loved getting to see all the staff and public at the same time and deliver group processing and see them all come up tone. I used Sunday Service to announce upcoming events and activities and gain commitment for our continued success.

One Sunday morning, or Saturday night (between midnight and 6am) I got a phone call. It was March 10th 2002. Rick Cocco, the OES from the mission called and woke me up from a sound sleep. He said that he got a phone call from the Palm Springs Police department and I was needed immediately at the mission. He said "Someone tried to burn down our church".

A sudden blast of adreneline woke me the rest of the way up. I had to go to the mission. I had to face the police. I had to try to salvage the book stocks. I had to respond appropriately. I knew I was going to have a lot of crap to clean up. Both Physical universe stuff and PR type stuff. I also knew I'd be facing a very intense investigation. I was wondering if I had any hope of ethics protection.

Having done the Mission Holder Full Hat and the Ethics Specialist course and being a trained auditor and having had thirty some years of experience I knew my mission had just crossed a very dangerous line. The mission Org Board is missing one of the departments all the higher Orgs have. It's in Div 7. It's the Office of Special Affairs.

I told Rick Cocco to call Kathy Dillion the DSA Miami.
