A close cohort of Sir Richard was Sri David Conrad ROBERTS, self-declared inner master of the Eckankar. He told me about being titled so by the then current Inner Master on his deathbed...

He was Second Chair for the California Jurisdiction of Masons too.

Last he said to me was, You never cease to amaze me! - Just before he publicly stood up and accused me of breach of contract because I would not let him change my name to Sri David too! Apparently my discovery about fiat currency originating here on the Colorado Territory in the 1861 capital building on the SW corner of the Pentagram, that is what seemed to set him off!

It was like he wanted me to do his research for him; not to understand what I was looking at.
