Welcome, Angus!
Hope you get your family back someday. Don't give up hope. It can happen.
Not from Boston, didn't know ya, but glad you're out and talking!
:welcome:
 
Angus MacDuffie, that's a blast from the past!


I believe I worked on the 4th floor when you were on staff.

Nice to hear that you are out and having a good life.

Patty Pieniadz Moher.
 
Angus!!!! You MADE IT!!!!

I was waiting for you to appear.

Fantastic on getting out!!!

No small feat.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Thanks all for your warm welcome!

@Arthur Dent. Thanks Arthur, we can only hope that such things will happen. Certainly was impressive to see Leah and her whole family escape at one time.

@Larry. Great to see you're out! Live long and prosper.

@Pooks. Hi Patty, I do indeed remember you. Your post scilon activities are an inspiration to all of us!
 
Hi Angus. I remember you being around Boston for a short while after I came on in '84. Didn't you go out to Portland for the crusade and then move there? Or maybe you were already there and visited Boston in 84. I don't remember. But I did know you briefly and remember clearly seeing your Goldenrod plastered all over the walls in Boston. Struck me odd at the time as you never seemed particularly evil. :)
 
I knew most of these people and it's amazing that so many are the same names as years ago. I refrained from quite a few comments but I will say that there are many names on that list who don't attend anymore.


I think that my name not being there is telling.

I was just looking at the Church of Scientology Boston face book page and read the following


"Paul Coleman peacefully passed away early April 16, 2013 surrounded by friends and family. A celebration of his life with a special Sunday Brunch, and service at Noon will be held on Sunday, April 21st."

That's too bad, I liked Paul. Is this a result of the heart attack? Was it some other medical issue? How old was Paul, I don't think he made 60?

He was 55

Paul J. Coleman of Somerville passed away at the Massachusetts General Hospital on April 16, 2013. He was 55 years old. Born in Stoneham, he was the son of Jeanette (Dunlevy) and Thomas P. Coleman. He was the devoted husband of Carolyn (Lytle).

Man, that's a serious bummer about Paul. He had a heart of gold. I'm smiling thinking of all the time I spent working with him. Mostly remember cracking up about something with him. As much as I feel my many years on staff were a waste of time, I'll fondly remember many of the people I worked with, whether they ever got out, or died still under the spell. Paul was one of the very cool ones.

He also smoked like a smokestack the entire time I knew him. So not entirely shocking. But still. That's way too young.
 
So with GATII well under way I was wondering how the new Idle Org in Boston was coming along, especially since the old (beautiful) building has now been sold. I haven't been by the new shell of a building but hope to swing by at some point in the coming months to report on all the progress on the renovation of the "Grande Dame" of a landmark. Would love an update if anyone has one.

I frequently go past the building and a few weeks ago it looked the same--ratty looking beauty supplies store in an otherwise abandoned 100+ year old building. It's a huge project to fix that building, millions. I don't see how they can afford to even pay for the heating bill. On the plus side, there's lots of foot traffic and it's in an up and coming neighborhood. Not a bad investment. That being said, it's on the edge of Roxbury, Boston's version of Harlem and an unsafe place to walk around after dark.

The purchase only makes sense in the world of Scientology. To me, it's in the wrong place with no parking, 2 blocks from the methadone clinic, 6 blocks from the homeless shelter and all the GI going to heat and mainenance.:omg:
