There were tours of the Daystar motor home, but I don't recall the years Daystar was active or the year the 10 day trainings started or realize they were connected.

So the FTT began in Taiwan.

What happened to the attendees of the first FTT in the Boston area. Many of the trainees would have been first generation CKs. It has been said most of them disconnected from the LC after that. What happened there? What happened to them?

Not sure when exactly LSM began charging money for their teachings. I believe this first official "Life Study" training was in 1975.

I have heard that this was Philip Lee's idea, and that Max rose to prominence at LSM by asking saints far and wide to consider their Daystar investment a "donation." Those who screamed bloody murder, however, were repaid.

I know little about Boston. Sal Benoit, their leader, left with Max. The year after all the young people moved to Boston, I heard there was like 50 weddings.

I went to Boston in 1977 when a lot of young people went there for what they called “the flow”. I don’t remember any weddings taking place at that time. There may have been a few but I think I would have noticed if there were 50 within that year.

I was told that ~1978, a year or so after the big move to Boston, there was a "brotherly love" movement among the young people in Boston, many of whom had relocated from other cities, that resulted in many, many marriages. It could have been 25 marriages, noting that it takes two for each.

I also migrated to Columbus in 1977 during the Max-pressured "Young Galilean" movement to the campuses, and indeed there were also many marriages there the following year.
