Mother of the LA Org

A few months ago, just for my own curiosity, I started researching the early history of Scientology in San Diego. I was surprised to find yet another person, who Scientology should be hugely indebted to, cast aside like an old dishrag.

Julia Lewis Salmen got her HDA in 1950, worked with LRH in Phoenix and D.C. and worked hard to create the forerunner to the OCA test. Then, in 1957, by his request, Julia and her new husband packed everything up, moved to Los Angeles and created what later became known as the LA Org.

By 1978 Julia was having serious health problems and was needing money. She had hoped that Scientology would pay her for the use of her personality test. Julia never received one red cent from Scientology before she died.

With all that Julia did for Scientology she should at least deserve the moniker "Mother of the LA Org".
