Visiting Rosicrucian Fellowship Headquarters, Oceanside, California, 1974. Dad and I stayed in the Guest House.

The works of Max Heindel came into my father's life in the early 60s, at which time he became a vegetarian and teetotaller. The Rosicrucian Philosophy answered so many of life's questions for him and set him on his path to become a Rosicrucian Fellowship Probationer. A few years later I followed in his footsteps. We moved home, but kept the Lake Road shop, in 1967. Part of the living accommodation above the shop Dad converted into a little chapel and called it "The Chapel of St John" (after "St John The Divine"). The Chapel remained in use until "the sack" of the Lake Road area circa 1970 (the whole area of Lake Road and its surrounding streets were demolished to make way for new homes and flats of little character).
