Steve,
Thanks for your comments. You know over a period of time the name of Paul 
Twichell has been posted on several occasions. I have an anecdotal story in 
regard and concerns what I heard many years ago from Scientologists friends I had 
back in the late 1960's. The chat in the Denny's Restaurant that seemed to be 
common knowledge was that Paul Twichell had been at the Advanced Organization 
(AO) in LA doing the "Clearing Course" in self-auditing process towards 
achieving "Clear State" and that he had encountered "Goals Mass Problems" and 
couldn't handle them resulting in his "blowing the Course" which means he stopped 
the Clear auditing, left the organization and never returned to complete the 
unfinished process. According to what I remember, after a period of time he 
created the Eck organization. I have no direct personal knowledge if this is indeed 
fact as it is based on random origination's informally among people I knew 
then, but I have wondered on the occasions that others posted about him why they 
never mentioned the Scientology part. what's your POV?

John
