Perhaps what Tex is remembering, is when two daughters appeared at a
Breakthrough Foundation/Youth At Risk event. This is not the exact URL
I am looking for, yet it does mention another daughter; Celeste Erhard
recanting some of the allegations.

It was more than a "couple of years ago".


From: http://mwh.reference.com/browse/Entrepreneurial+education

Awards and acknowledgments

The Gandhi Humanitarian Award , 1988, Gandhi Memorial
International Foundation.

"Humanitarian Of The Year", 2003, Youth At Risk, Roosevelt Hotel,
New York City. Erhard founded the Breakthrough Foundation, which later
became Youth At Risk.

Excellerated Business Schools, which offers "transformational,
entrepreneurial education", lists "Werner Erhard" in the category of
"Other Teachers, Masters and Mentors" on its "Acknowledgments" page.

James Sloman acknowledged Werner Erhard as a courageous pioneer in
his book, "Handbook for Humans: A Comprehensive Synthesis of Paths to
Personal Growth."

Disputes
Charlotte Faltermayer in “The Best of est?” in Time Magazine, March
16, 1998 reported on the inaccurate allegation made in a “60 Minutes”
segment on Werner Erhard that "was filled with so many factual
discrepancies that the transcript was made unavailable with this
disclaimer: 'This segment has been deleted at the request of CBS News
for legal or copyright reasons.'"

Celeste Erhard filed an unsuccessful $2 million lawsuit against the
paper and the reporter, saying she "was defrauded and her privacy was
invaded during interviews.... She stated on the record that the
articles and her appearance on CBS television's “60 Minutes” were to
get publicity for a book." Charlotte Faltermayer reports that Celeste
Erhard's allegations of incest were recanted.

Here is another, again it was more than a "couple of years ago".
http://www.laurenceplatt.com/wernererhard/thehuman.html

It mentions "Two of Werner's daughter's, Deborah Erhard Pimental (who
traveled to New York from Hawaii to be there) and Anita Lynn Erhard
(who traveled to New York from California to be there) attended the
event to accept the award on their father's behalf."

Apparently, he wasn't there.
