 2         Q    Did you join the board of directors of the Lisa
 3    McPherson Trust?

 4         A    Yes, I did.

 5         Q    Did you hold an office?

 6         A    I think I was secretary for a while.  Yes.

 7         Q    Why did you join?

 8         A    Mmm, by that time the -- I would say the entire
 9    critic movement had sort of been shanghaied by Bob.  It was
10    a matter of if you didn't -- if you weren't in the group of
11    people who were Bob's people, there was no other group to be
12    in.

13              So I really thought that the only way to effect
14    any reform of that group was to be in it.  There was nothing
15    to be done outside of it.

16         Q    So you wanted to reform the critic group?

17         A    Yes.  I believed that the -- the activities of the
18    group of critics had changed dramatically from a group that
19    was trying to help people who had been hurt by Scientology,
20    to a group that was basically just antagonizing Scientology
21    through picketing and other things.  And I felt that was a
22    useless thing to do.

23         Q    What was the Lisa McPherson Trust set up to do?

24         A    To help people who had been hurt by Scientology.

25    That was certainly the mission statement of what all of us
                                                               80
 1    were in agreement on when we had the board meeting.

 2         Q    Did you help write that mission statement?

 3         A    Yes, I did.  I even -- I drafted it at the end of
 4    the board meeting, then everybody agreed on it.

 5         Q    And was there any purpose of the Lisa McPherson
 6    Trust that had anything to do with the wrongful death case?

 7         A    No.
