Box 1526, Portland Oregon, 97207. Please include a stamped envelope if an answer is wanted. My first experience with the Church of Scientology was in July of 1975. It was on a very warm evening in downtown Portland, Oregon, and I was waiting for a bus. A tall youngish man came up to me and asked if I would like to go to a free lecture on how to communicate better. I didn't have anything in particular to do and decided to go - I was curious what kind of trip this guy was gonna lay on mebut I figured (wrongly) that the place would probably be air conditioned. So I followed him to this large almost empty room on the second floor of a nearby building and was treated to a half hour or so monologue on the importance of affinity, reality, and communication, which made sense to me, and after a short sales pitch, signed up for the "communications course". The following day there were certain events that transpired which caused me to change my mind about taking this course, and after a brief but rather heated discussion, the guy who had taken my money gave back my money. I still had the book that I had bought, Hubbard's "Dianetics", and for some unknown reason, I read it. When I had finished it, I decided that I wanted to know mare about the church of Scientology, particularly the guy who wrote that book. I started buying books. Lot's of books. There was a second hand bookstore a few blocks away, and they were cheaper, and I discovered they had books by other writers that were about Scientology I happened across a copy of the hard to find "Scandal of Scientology" by Paulette Cooper. Now I was fascinated, and started collecting everything I could get my eager hands on- magazine articles, newspaper clippings, government files, anything. Four years and four thousand dollars later, I had a mountain of material which included some files that no one else had bothered to get-copies of the log books of the Navy ships that Hubbard had served on, and his fathers Navy service file. Soon after reading these thousands of pages, I realized that I had a lot of info rmation on Hubbard that had never been included in any of the books that were written about him or his 'church'. The result of all that research is this article, the first of (?) a series. While there are several ways this information can be presented, it seems to me that the most expedient way would be to simply make a list of all the things that Hubbard has been credited with, and follow each with what the documents that I have say about each one. (what the documents say, not what I say). By doing it in this manner the facts are presented without being watered down with forty pages of dialogue. Here then, is an itemized biography of Lafayette Ronald Hubbard. In many of the dozens of books published by the Church of Scientology (COS) over the years, there is included, as in many books, some 'information about the author'. In the case of the COS books, this ranges from a couple of lines on the inside of the dust jacket, to the elaborate 16 page spread in "What is Scientology" in which the life of their founder is depicted in reproductions of a series of oil paintings, with accompanying text. All of these, when put together, tell of a man who, descended from royalty grew up in the wilds of Montana, became the youngest Eagle Scout in America traveled throughout the world as a teenager, graduated from college with a degree in civil engineering, earned his masters license to command ocean going vessels, was the leader of a number of expeditions to various areas of the world, was a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps, was highly decorated, and a real life hero in the U.S. Navy in WWII, wrote and had published fifteen million words, and spent years and years researching the composition and destiny of man And did all this before his 35th birthday. L Ron Hubbard was well known in the forties for his stories in magazines such as Thrilling Wonder Stories, and Astounding Science Fiction, and when his first article on the new mental science was publised (in ASF) it was well recieved. So a few months later he wrote "Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health, and suddenly he was famous. Everyone was interested in the book that could teach them all the things that his book was reputed to do, and it became a best seller. There were several government agencies who were interested too. The newspapers picked up, on it. Magazine articles appeared, and a couple of books were written. but for some reason none of those publications had much to say about the "trip to heaven man" who made it all happen. Thirty years later-the COS has been "exposed" to tens of millions of people in thousands of newspaper articles, Readers Digest with it's 18 millions of readers, and CBS's "Sixty Minutes" reported some of the details of a recent incident the COS was involved in to some 20 million people. All over America, law suits have been filed by or against the COS with many millions of dollars at stake-and everyone has heard of Scientology. Yet very little is known about the rich reclusive Ronald Hubbard. PART ONE ITEM That LRH was born in Tilden Nebraska on 13 March, 1911.

LRH was issued commercial glider pilot certificate #385 on 1 Sept. 1931. It expired on 15 Sept 1933 and was not renewed. The Federal Aviation Administration has no record of LRH having been issued any pilot license. In putting this article together, I have used every document that I have for each of these thirty items, and have not held back certain ones for the purpose of discrediting L. Ron Hubbard. (105) Neither have I selected which items I wanted to use, rather I have put this list together from the various biographies published in Scientology books, listing every significant event they include, with the exception of no. 30 which is from "The Pilot", July, 1934, as reported by George Malko in "Scientology: The NOW Religion". Because I have included all this material, some 'items' have more sources of documentation that others. For some items this is not conclusive, for others, it is. What is interesting is that when this article is considered as something more that just the sum total of it's parts (holistically) it presents a portrait, an image--With the exception of Hubbards birth and family information, the documents do not support one single item. An image --- Of a man who is not all he is said to be. end 1. A breif biography of L.
