Many friends, family, co-works and history buffs over multiple generations have heard about those early days in the Order, but I suspect much of it was second-, third-, or fourth-hand. It?s like playing Telephone as a kid. By the time the secret sentence whispered in each year gets to the end of the line, it?s a far cry from what the original child said.<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Another motivator for me: I wondered how many folks who joined the ICA in the 1970s and later ever knew what RS-1 was or could measure its direct or indirect impact for themselves if it was not longer available. Many readers may be surprised that an RS-1 primer is embedded inside IRON BOY for that very reason, albeit from an 11-year-old?s perspective. Many EI/ICA alumni may still ask today how much of RS-1 could be understood by a child or teenager. I?ll attempt to answer that in a listserv post this coming weekend.<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">David, Moraga, CA<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Sent from my iPad<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">David Marshall<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><a href="http://www.marshallbooks.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.marshallbooks.net</a><<a href="http://www.marshallbooks.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.marshallbooks.net</a>><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">On Jun 19, 2025, at 7:38?PM, Debra Harris via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><mailto:<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>>> wrote:<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">?

Many friends, family, co-works and history buffs over multiple generations have heard about those early days in the Order, but I suspect much of it was second-, third-, or fourth-hand. It?s like playing Telephone as a kid. By the time the secret sentence whispered in each year gets to the end of the line, it?s a far cry from what the original child said.<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"> ?<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Another motivator for me: I wondered how many folks who joined the ICA in the 1970s and later ever knew what RS-1 was or could measure its direct or indirect impact for themselves if it was not longer available. Many readers may be surprised that an RS-1 primer is embedded inside IRON BOY for that very reason, albeit from an 11-year-old?s perspective. Many EI/ICA alumni may still ask today how much of RS-1 could be understood by a child or teenager. I?ll attempt to answer that in a listserv post this coming weekend.<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"> ?<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">David, Moraga, CA<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"> ?<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Sent from my iPad<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">David Marshall<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><a href="http://www.marshallbooks.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.marshallbooks.net</a><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">On Jun 19, 2025, at 7:38?PM, Debra Harris via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"> <font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">?

Many friends, family, co-works and history buffs over multiple generations have heard about those early days in the Order, but I suspect much of it was second-, third-, or fourth-hand. It?s like playing Telephone as a kid. By the time the secret sentence whispered in each year gets to the end of the line, it?s a far cry from what the original child said.<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Another motivator for me: I wondered how many folks who joined the ICA in the 1970s and later ever knew what RS-1 was or could measure its direct or indirect impact for themselves if it was not longer available. Many readers may be surprised that an RS-1 primer is embedded inside IRON BOY for that very reason, albeit from an 11-year-old?s perspective. Many EI/ICA alumni may still ask today how much of RS-1 could be understood by a child or teenager. I?ll attempt to answer that in a listserv post this coming weekend.<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">David, Moraga, CA<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Sent from my iPad<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">David Marshall<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><a href="http://www.marshallbooks.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.marshallbooks.net</a><<a href="http://www.marshallbooks.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.marshallbooks.net</a>><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">On Jun 19, 2025, at 7:38?PM, Debra Harris via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><mailto:<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>>> wrote:<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">?

Many friends, family, co-works and history buffs over multiple generations have heard about those early days in the Order, but I suspect much of it was second-, third-, or fourth-hand. It?s like playing Telephone as a kid. By the time the secret sentence whispered in each year gets to the end of the line, it?s a far cry from what the original child said.<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">?<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Another motivator for me: I wondered how many folks who joined the ICA in the 1970s and later ever knew what RS-1 was or could measure its direct or indirect impact for themselves if it was not longer available. Many readers may be surprised that an RS-1 primer is embedded inside IRON BOY for that very reason, albeit from an 11-year-old?s perspective. Many EI/ICA alumni may still ask today how much of RS-1 could be understood by a child or teenager. I?ll attempt to answer that in a listserv post this coming weekend.<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">?<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">David, Moraga, CA<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">?<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Sent from my iPad<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">David Marshall<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><a href="http://www.marshallbooks.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.marshallbooks.net</a><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">On Jun 19, 2025, at 7:38?PM, Debra Harris via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:<br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">?
