Theos-Talk Archives (January 2005 Message tt00953)

Mr. Hall had an early and deep interest in HPB and never hesitated to 
acknowledge his debt to her. I remember, near the end of his life, he 
briefly spoke at Pasadena at the 1988 HPB SD centenary where he 
mentioned a class he did in the 1930's on the SD (I have his notes on 
that class here), and said that he wished that he had waited until he 
understood more. Mr. Hall was a man of great humility, wisdom and 
generosity. There was (and may still be) quite a lot of Theosophical 
oddities in the form of documents etc. in Mr. Hall's archives at PRS. 
Part of the library and Mr. Hall's personal collection was auctioned off 
after his death, so I'm not certain how much of those documents are 
still to be found there.
