Web article: Claims re Hubbard’s background (n.d.)

  

Son of naval commander Harry Ross Hubbard and Ledora May Hubbard, L. Ron Hubbard was born on March 13, 1911 in Tilden, Nebraska. At the age of two, he and his family took up residence on a ranch outside Kalispell, Montana, and from there moved to the state’s capital, Helena.

In 1930 I knew a fellow by the name of Commander Thompson. I had known him before, actually; he was a friend of the family. He had studied under Freud in Vienna. Old Commander Thompson trained cats.

He taught me how to train cats—I have never had any luck with it, but he taught me how. He got me very interested in the subject of the human mind. He taught me why it is that … [Read more...] about Lecture: The Purpose of Human Evaluation (3) (1951)
