It just occurs to me that the Personell Off is quoting something from 55 years ago.

I know how it works - but its still bloody weird.

Andrew, thanks for taking the heat off us!!!

Re: Helen Edwards - she died of a brain tumour in around 1980 while she was LRH Comm on Adelaide Day.

Libby Runge is in Sydney - I met her in Adelaide about a year ago and she sent me an e-mail which I have mislaid. Her husband recently died of a nasty cancer and she has a daughter. Actually, the thing with her husband was written up as an article in New Idea/Women's Weekly. She was still on lines in Sydney last year.

Andrew Simes was declared, or was he? I think so but that was more than 20 years ago. He disappeared in the mid 80s.

Sue Harvey and Andrew Simes were married but I don't know if they are still together.


Brian Forster was the Flag Rep at Adelaide and married Janine Woods. They had a few kids (3?). I know Brian left the Sea Org because he was had his own business as a tree surgeon/trimmer after Flag Repping. That was back in the early 90s. Janine told me this when I saw her at the AO in the early 90s. I don't know what has happened since then.

Does anyone know if Andrew Simes was involved with Co$/scientology-related litigation in Australia?

EDIT:
Here's why I ask.

I went to the ACNC website to check and see if Co$/Co$-related 'charities' had filed their financial data yet. (If they have, it isn't yet available to review, btw.)

There was, however, a document filed on September 25, 2013 by Co$, Inc., so I reviewed it and saw Mr. Simes' name. The thing is - there's no reason why Mr. Simes' name should be on the document.

It says: "This is the document marked 'A' and referred to in the annexed declaration by Andrew Simes made before me on the" -- where it cuts off and the next page begins with something else entirely.

Here's the link to the ACNC search result page: http://www.acnc.gov.au/RN52B75Q?ID=C4136DD9-97CC-4381-B923-44B1660A30E4&noleft=1 Scroll down to the last block on the left-hand side to "Charity's Documents" and click to open the pdf - the quote above is located on the bottom of the first of nineteen pages.

If I understand this correctly, the current Co$, Inc. exec(s) submitted the organization's "governing document" as required by ACNC in 2013, by yanking it from a prior legal/quasi-legal case of some sort.

Might it be from a comm-ev or civil/criminal litigation in NZ/AU/US? I've no idea, but per the bottom of page 1, Mr. Simes made a "declaration" somewhere and it related to the governing document of the Co$, Inc.

For those who collect/amass pertinent documents which relate to Co$, I suspect this one is a keeper -- especially since it can be compared to other versions of this same document found/filed elsewhere. :look:

Here's an ESMB thread link that shows the combined efforts of a few motivated ESMB members: http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthre...ney-Laundering&p=369033&viewfull=1#post369033

Here's the post within the above thread that provides the pdf that can be compared to the one filed with ACNC by Co$, Inc. on September 25, 2013: http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthre...ney-Laundering&p=362841&viewfull=1#post362841
