"Since 1950, many able people became more, able thru the
techniques of Dianetics, then
later Scientology. When Scientology moved into the image of

people discontinued their association with the organization
and the leader, but not their
interest in this new field of

"We are now trying to find
these people thru the columns
of The MERREL I am not affiliated in any way , financially
or otherwise, with Ron Hubbard
and his organizations. I met

the last 10 or so issues of BDR
Critically, there was little
that was good in them and much
that was low-toned. This situ16

the field. Looking back , I
think it was too abrupt, and I
apologize to those I did not
inform of my decision.
