Bare-Faced Messiah (PDF) - Apologetics Index

He never talked about the workings of the mind or psychology or anything like that. He was
interested in a lot of things. He was well read and pretty well informed.
He figgered the Japs were going to attack and we were not going to be able to resist on the West
coast and would be driven back to the Rockies, at which time we would develop a proper defence.
He went back east and, I think, through Senator Magnusson's office helped him get a commission.
This is my impression, I don't know it for a fact but I 'm quite sure this is what happened. He had
some experience and talked a good fight. Magnusson was my congressman at that time and I think
Ron went to his office. Magnusson and Henry Jackson were the two most influential senators they
had. Ron was using the people of Magnusson's office to do whatever he was trying to do.
His house had a little side porch and a low farm-style kitchen. He would have coffee in there with
Polly. It was a wooden house, probably built 1910.
Notes by Russell Miller:
PO Box 39623 was Ron's private address at time of San Luis Obispo [1980-86], reserved for friends
and family.
Ford has never heard of the Blackfoot blood brother story. He suspected when he met Hubbard
after the war that Hubbard had married again. He's not quite sure of the circumstances but knew
Polly was not divorced and that Ron had mentioned something about remarrying. Ford couldn't
have written the letter because he never knew that Hubbard had written on "political science".
Hood Canal is a wide placid stretch of water full of shrimps, oysters, fish. Heavily forested.
Colby: Very heavily wooded, banks of laurel shrubs, largely conifers and pines, lots of little wooden
houses on a hillside sloping down to the water. Otherwise nothing. It looks across the water to
Seattle. A very nice quiet place. Possible to glimpse water through trees. It looks out over Puget
Sound to Black Island and Seattle.
The Naval yard at Bremerton spreads for miles along the shore. The sound must be very deep
because aircraft carriers are moored there.
