ack to her room in her nightie. She was in awe of him at times and there were other times when
they had a little spat. The children were very nice. Arthur had problems because he was the
youngest and the others were not too interested in playing with him. They had a lady tutor but after
while went to school - the boys went to Fonthill across the road and the girls went - Diana was
heavily into ballet lessons - at Evelyn Genet school.
One time in Dec '65 he was to make a clearing course film to explain what it was all about. He
asked me to make sure the barber came in the early afternoon. By lunchtime I had forgotten it. I
was looking for the chauffeur to go into town to get the barber. But I couldn't find the chauffeur. The
old man rang down and asked where the barber was. I said I couldn't find the chauffeur and he got
furious. He raised his voice. By the evening after the film was done he apologised for raising his
voice.
Bronchitis. He had researched himself into grappling with some part of the reactive mind that was
too much for him. He was brave enough to look at it, that was how he got bronchitis, that's how I
rationalised it. He told me he'd had this trouble before and it was to do with auditing. Up to the
summer of '65 there were about 30 people working at Saint Hill. In 1965 he devised the power
processes and decided they would only be delivered at Saint Hill and had to build up the org to get
people into Saint Hill and deliver the processes.
Up to mid-65, Saint Hill had had its ups and downs. I gathered from him that while he was doing
his most intensive research in 63/64 he had other people running Saint Hill and it had gone into the
red. In '65, when he started selling the power processes, he got a lot more money. He CS-ed [case
supervised] my power processes. At the end of the day my folder was sent up to him. I was paid
£12 a week plus room and board.
I was rushing around all day long and I loved it. He was very appreciative and that made a huge
difference. I was sweeping floors, making beds, but I would not have done it for anybody else. I told
him I got tired of making beds and he said fine and made me the "LRH Communicator" for Saint
Hill. My main duty was to get compliance with what he ordered and advise him of situations
needing his attention. I was the channel of communication between him and the org.
Dec 65 this was. I was on it 6-8 weeks. In Feb/Mar 66 he went to Rhodesia. Then I took over LRH
Communications Worldwide until mid '66 when I was taken off. When he was away from Saint Hill
his comm were given strict orders not to tell anyone he was away - he thought that if other orgs
knew he was away then they would slack off, so we had to cover up, pretend he was still there. At
this particular time, the first clear was produced, John McMaster, and others came. Each time a
telegram was sent to him in Rhodesia and he would send a message back to me in code sending
a Secretarial Executive Directive of congratulations. He sent the text in cable English so I re-wrote it.
He found out I was altering his messages and had me removed.
At Saint Hill people were shocked that he had been kicked out. We all had to go to the airport to
cheer his return. We went in coaches - one, possibly two. He came through Customs into the
arrival hall and we all cheered like mad. We followed him out and he sat on the back of a yellow
Pontiac coupe. He sat on the back and waved.
I was made director of communications, a much more junior post. One division of the org would
create a tremendous amount of work for another division and each had to check on the other. He
wrote a memo on how to care for cut flowers, how to polish his car; he used to publish such things
frequently.
