On the vibrant streets of Washington DC in 1925 this photograph featuring four delightful Western Union Messenger girls. They are seated, legs crossed, wearing their signature hats, perched on a cement railing, with the majestic Capitol building serving as a magnificent backdrop.
This charming image captures the essence of a bygone era, where these four young messenger girls played a vital role in communication and connectivity. The girls' presence exudes a sense of confidence and independence.
The juxtaposition of their youthful energy against the grandeur of the Capitol creates a captivating visual contrast, symbolizing the dynamism and resilience of a nation in progress. The photograph serves as a testament to the integral role played by these messenger girls in facilitating timely and efficient communication in a rapidly evolving world.
Sea Org member Doreen Smith recalled a conversation she had with Hubbard concerning the origins of the CMO and why he had focused on young girls to carry out his personal tasks and deliver his executive orders:
Long the interface between Hubbard and the rest of the Church, part of the CMO became the senior management body: the Commodore's Messenger Organization International, or CMO Int. But as the Commodore's Messenger Organization was quite obviously connected to the Commodore, they had to find a new title. So the Watchdog Committee (WDC) came into being, in April 1979. It consisted solely of the snior executives of CMO Int. The function of WDC was to 'put senior management back on post.' They did this by absorbing all top management posts.
Janis Gillham, age 11, joined the Sea Organization in January 1968. She regularly attended to Hubbard for the next 11 years, until he went into hiding in 1979. In 2017, she authored Commodore's Messenger: A Child Adrift in the Scientology Sea Organization, and in 2018 Commodore's Messenger Book II: Riding Out The Storms With L. Ron Hubbard.[7][8]
Annie Tidman (also known as Annie Broeker) became a messenger at age 12.[9] She married fellow messenger Pat Broeker and they were among the few people in direct contact with L. Ron Hubbard during his final years.[10] In November 1992, Tidman made an unannounced departure from the group, but returned after Church members intercepted her at the Boston airport.[9] She died in 2011.[9]
Michelle Barnett (Shelly Miscavige) became a messenger at age 12. She later married fellow messenger and future Scientology leader David Miscavige.[13] She has made no public appearances since August 2007.[14] The Church of Scientology and the Los Angeles Police Department deny that she is missing.[15]
Mike Rinder joined the Sea Org at age 18 and worked under Hubbard on the Apollo ship in 1973.[16] He joined the CMO in 1978, later becoming the Church's international spokesperson. Rinder left the Church in 2007 and has since spoken out against it.[17]
Pat Broeker was aboard the Apollo and, along with his wife Anne, were taking care of Hubbard at the time of his death. An order was issued promoting Broeker and his wife to the rank of "Loyal Officer", but that order was later cancelled.
Deters, Bonnie M. A Memorial Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday, September 15, 2008 at St. Luke's Catholic Church in Clearwater, MN for Bonnie M. Deters, age 61 of Monticello. Bonnie won the battle against cancer by forfeiting her body and offering her strong spirit and love to God on September 11, 2008 at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park. Family and friends may call after 9 a.m. on Monday at the church. Bonnie was born on October 1, 1946 in Mpls, MN to Celestine "Sally" (Walstrom) Collins. She attended Washburn High School in Mpls graduating in 1964. She began her career in the banking industry shortly thereafter. Through determination and hard work, she furthered her career from a messenger girl to various high level executive positions. She ended her career in the areas of bank acquisitions and data conversions. She met and married the love of her life and soul mate James "Jim" Deters in December of 1971. Bonnie and Jim spent the next 36 years loving each other and everyone around them, living life to the fullest. Bonnie loved to read and travel, but mostly enjoyed spending time at Locke Lake with Jim, family, friends, and neighbors, particularly the last 11 months in their newly built dream home. Though Bonnie and Jim never had children of their own, they embraced all of their nephews, nieces, and great-nephews and great-nieces as their own. Bonnie was a dedicated member of her church, energetic member of the Lions Club, and was actively involved in Families Moving Forward throughout the communities. She was a mentor to other women with breast cancer and a participant in the Cancer Club. Bonnie is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, Jim; brothers and sisters, James (Margaret) Collins, Sharon (Bruce) Janowiec, Judith (Paul) Stitzel, Thomas (Melissa) Collins; numerous nephews and nieces. She was preceded in death by her mother, Sally Collins. Bonnie brought love and strength to everyone, and will be greatly missed by all.
