2013-07-26, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
Another in the series of "Life Is Good." I have known Terry since I worked with him in OSA in the 80's and 90's. Terry is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to call friend. He is a talented stained glass artist, photographer and also runs guided kayak tours out of Venice,
Florida. It makes me very happy to see him doing so well. Mike
My history with
Dianetics goes back to
1951 in
Wichita. I started reading Scn. books in late
1968 in the Ozarks, and moved to Florida to join staff in early
1969. I did the usual...volunteered, did basic courses, and when old enough, joined HCO staff in
Miami in
1970. Later, ran a City Office for Miami Org, and (finally) arrived in the
Sea Org at Flag in
1981.
I left a much different Sea Org in
2001, after working at
New World Corps Int.,
OSA Int. and
Flag Liaison Office, and after completing about 30-40 missions/projects around the world. Fortunately, I have worked with a fair number of Scientology Orgs,
Missions, Dianetic groups during that time, met thousands of Scientologists, and made a lot of friends. I still think of most of that time as very positive, with a few exceptions....
