Melbourne, approx 1979.

Is that John X in the front with the mo and dark t-shirt?

Somewhere around 1990/91, OEC/FEBC trainees at ITO in Los Angeles.

Don Biondi front and centre in green shirt - now advance man for FSO - at this time was either Melbourne or Adelaide staff I think. Or had just joined AOSH ANZO.

Guy next to him in SO uniform looks familiar too - think he was from ITD and had been training at FSO maybe?

Yep. And James in the background with the hair!
And John Sullivan, Nick someone and Zoltan Bozan who was SoCo at the time.

Oh, I was. Look at Lynne Thompson glaring at me. Most everyone there was messing around, but I wanted it to be real. Note the other sup is writing a pink sheet on the bulletin, not the student.

This is a scan of a print, and I'm not bothering to take all the scratches out of it.

Lynne used to glare most of the time as did Julie Price. The Scio glare. Didn't Ron say on "Product Zero" or "Keeping Scio working", "turn that wondering look into a fixed glare" or words to that effect?.
Why are the students in the photo wearing red? reminds me of the Bhagwan Rajneesh followers.

She used to not glare at me for years. We had a friendly relationship at Saint Hill. I used to give her back rubs in the AO. No out-2D. We had a friendly relationship at ITO while I was sup'ing her. Last time I saw her was on a visit to SH around 2002, and she glared at me then.

The tech students wore red smocks and the admin students wore green smocks. The theory was that this duplicated Hubbard's idea re the original FEBC, I believe, although probably it was to make them feel like dicks.

SO Day in LA, maybe 1995

Here are a bunch of pix I took one SO Day in LA for the HGB guys. The prints say November 1995 on the back, so it may have been 1995, although it may have been 1994 and I just didn't get them developed for a year. It may be Newport Beach or it may be somewhere else entirely. I left some of them large and as high a quality as possible to make it easier to ID people. Similarly, the first one, for example has the brightness and contrast jacked up a bit so you can see into the tent a bit. The tent is full of food, by the way.

From a lurker:

I recognize a couple of ladies in the picture from Ottawa Canada.

Front far left green blouse and blue slacks is Dawn Maurice. A nice lady. had reached OTIII by early 90's and had cancerous breasts removed. I know at one time early 90's she was my course sup.

Two over from her certainly looks like Debbie Burpee, and if so she has put on a lot of weight per a recent video of the LA birthday bash. She was quite a wild one, oh yes, now I remember she told me when I saw her in 1995 I think in LA, that she had been a stripper for a while, but had done her conditions. I didn't know she went for outer org training.

Some more from SO Day 1995-ish.

Some people I remember:

#6: Someone asked about her fairly recently. The arrowed figure on the left is Amy Metcalf/Uno; the one on the right is Christie King.

#7: The four on the left, from left to right, Adrienne Romanoff; Tammy Wikoff; Kristl True (I think); Julie(t) Wills.

#8: Tammy Wikoff; (facing) Joyce Van Dyk; (light blue shorts walking) Therese Madsen/Alvarez ; (yellow bikini) India Amour/Gilchrest.

#9: I see Christie and Amy again, but can't ID any others.

Seems like I mostly took photos of the women. Fancy that.

Yeah, Michelle, you're such a name-dropper!! I'm waiting for that autographed photo of you with the Hickses.

Meanwhile, here are some complete unknowns. I'm the only girl on the ladder (next to top), and the bottom pic. I have no memory of who anyone else is. This was 1981 - CC renos. Anybody recognize any of the others?

It may be Newport Beach or it may be somewhere else entirely.

Paul,

You folks are on the Balboa Peninsula... I see the Newport Pier in the background in one of your pics. I forget the name of elementary school there.

I am an x OT ( what a joke)
Was an auditor,and a very good auditor ( there is one person in one of the pictures that I audited who later joined the SO. )

I was an active scio in the field and in the academy and helped a lot in the org ( as a public).



I was on staff for few years and hated it, but finished my contract because I was supposed to be an OT.

I left when my wonderful husband discovered the anti scio sites on the internet and never looked back .

Life is so much better and full of joy after leaving the cult.

That's my story in a nut shell.
