I was never a staff member--I was involved with the church at a very young age (I was auditing at 10) through my dad, who was raised in the Cadet Org at LAO. I very quickly dissociated from the church, and now that I hear so much about it I'm glad I never got too involved. Many of you will know my grandpa, the recent captain of AOLA, Cal Cole. He was so involved with the church that I hardly ever saw him growing up, and now that he has been transferred to Clearwater, my only contact is a letter here and there.
Now, I've done some digging, and found Cal's name on documents as far back as the 1970s and his is the only name singled out on the official documentation of the U.S. v. Church of Scientology Western U.S. court case for the tax exemption back in 1992. I knew that he had some prose in the world of Scientology, but from what little mention I can find he seems to be a bit higher up than I knew. Does anybody know anything about how much sway he has in the church? His rank, position, etc. Anything helps.
This is just for the sake of my own curiosity, him being family and all. Thank you in advance
