would walk with him and a couple went behind. They were little girls in white shorts. There was
never any sexual link. Never touching, nothing. There might have been a little voyeurism, he liked
them in their white tops and shorts. Budding pubescent girls in tight, tight jeans. I think it was just, if
anything, slight voyeurism. but no innuendoes at all, nothing.
He went to orange groves in the mountains to do shoots. He proved Kodak was screwed. He would
get light readings and take thousands of pictures.
He started filming at Gilman and security was unreal - people walking around with guns.
Michael would travel 120 miles a day to go from Hemet to Gilman. There was never direct
communication. I left in Jan 1980.
The chain locker on the ship was large, lit during the day through the hole where the chain went
through. There was a bucket for a toilet. I know children were put in there and kept overnight.
I saw him physically violent twice. He slapped a boy who answered him back and slapped him
across the face with an open hand, and knocked him off his feet.
One time before that we were in Azores - 1973/4 - and we had gale force winds. We were in the lee
of an island going up and down and could not get into port. It was an unbelievable storm. We're
going up and down. I remember being woken up by messengers running up and down - I slept
under the Commodore's office - and heard the pounding of feet. I looked out of the porthole and
saw we were being blown against the island. I heard the old man shouting. I got dressed so
quickly I was still doing up buttons when I got to the bridge. He had punched the man on helm and
he pulled on the helm and he turned the ship. The stern scraped the rocks - we were that close. We
had eight watches, some knew what they were doing, some didn't. After he turned the ship round I
took over the helm as we got out. He stood there with his hand on my shoulder, watching what I
was doing, quietly talking. The guy he had hit was out on one of the wings. LRH said to the
Quartermaster, "Bring him in." He said, "I'm sorry, but it was necessary." The helmsman said, "Yes
sir, I know." He stood there with me until the new watch took over. Everyone knew LRH was on
bridge, everything's fine.
