Theos-Talk Archives (September 2006 Message tt00042)

Friends,

I have to say that Dallas Tenbroeck deserves our friendship and his example is worth-following. 

Among his many writings, his study on the life of Robert Crosbie remains as an unique contribution, as I guess there is no other text available on the life of the main ULT founder. 

Dallas' contribution to Theos-talk and to the movement as a whole was outstanding. 

Om, shanti,    Carlos.
