Great letter Riddick, thanks.I understand folks emotions for Paul, but logically he was just a pawn in Hubbard's game, like we all were.

Pushing his wishful thinking reality on others with the result he left a lot of people holding the bag, agreed I was one, that's a tragedy of Hubbard's building this ludicrous subject (Xenu's earth dump of body-thetans requiring OT 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 exorcism by Scientologists today).
Paul Adams will be missed as one in the ex Scientology critic/history world, greatly.
