ALEX GAMBEAU, H.W., M.

Alex was introduced to the Prosperos in 1969, “I was looking for some answer to life meaning and my purpose in the scheme of the Universe. Then I met a wonderful and spirited lady by the name of Ruth Backlund and her husband who own a health food store across the street from where I was working at the time and which I used to visited every day and started talking about the meaning of life and she mention if you need a an answer there is a group of people that might help you point you in the right direction to find your own purpose in life; and they/re having an open meeting at the Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood on that Sunday. The speaker was Norma Keller. From there on my life has changed to an immense degree, I must say I’m not the same person that I used to be and having fun and wandering along the way of changes that have taken place in my life, is a very magical and mystical trip.”

  1. Nice remembrance of Ruth Backlund and Alex by Alex.

    I only knew Alex in the 1970-1975 period. It’s great to know that writing was part of his unpredictable good!
