			<description><![CDATA[Paul was my supe on the pro TRs after the FSO supes were removed from post because of "no products". Granted, they were simply executing RTC orders. Paul had my twin and I through a video pass in no time flat. Many of the trainees looked up to him, and I remember going to him with a personal problem which was resolved with a few light-hearted comments. In short, Mr. Schobel was the epitome of how I wanted to be as a technical terminal "when I grew up".]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Paul was a great guy. I never forgot a piece of advice he gave me while I was on one of my many ethics trips. He told me that you have to fight for your position in space, keep fighting and never give up. When I think of him, that's the moment I remember. His passion and strong determination to help me was so clear.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Beautifully expressed. I wish I had had the chance to say good-bye to him. Schobes was so broken up about being sent back to Oz that he didn't even say good-bye to his friends. It would have taken all day and probably stirred up a mutiny at the Int Base. I can't think of anyone who was better liked than him. What a treat to have known him.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Chris man, thanks so much for writing this. I knew Paul as a senior from his time at AOSH ANZO and I know you as a friend from back in the day - and I wanted to share that this account brought a tear to my eye. I have got to have been the lowest on the totem pole at the AO while he was there and he was all class with me. Nothing but friendly, helpful and approachable. Exactly what I needed to survive during that time - an inspiration. I managed to see him once in his last months, on the street outside the AO, I was ex SO at this point and not planning on walking in the door. I saw him outside at the end of the street and I walked up and shook his hand and he was the nicest guy you ever met - all over again. He told me he was just about to check out - said exactly that, and I said, well if I dont see you again you are a good man and I am very happy to have known you. That I am sure I will see him again somewhere up the road. He ack'd me and we laughed and - fuck - well, its was a nice moment because he is Schobes you know?? He maintained his grace and humor despite everything. here were people in the AO that would rather spit on me for leaving and this guy is just Mr Class. Anyway, thanks for your good work too both in and out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Wow, Just ran across this article Chris and thank you so much for letting us know. Paul touched the lives of 100s of people literally all over the world. Mine was one of them. I remember after reading about Why Finding how badly I wanted to have it. I told Paul this. He made a deal with me that if I produced a particular product he wanted from me then he would do it on me. Fact is he was THE ONLY person on the entire Flag Land Base who was qualified to do it. No one else had done the full training and high crime checkhots on the entire Base to do it but Paul was there and he told me he would. Welll I produced the product he wanted 2 days later and walked up to him and said ok, when do I get my why finding? He laughed and told me to be sessionable just after dinner that night and so it was that I got an amazing look at myself with some powerful tools used by someone with confidence and simplicity. A qn here an ack there and half-ack here and Bingo-bango the blowdown FN congintion relief laughter and recovery of some simplicity. I'm grateful for having had the experience of knowing Paul. Chris, you provided the real service of Scn - communicating about someone loved far and wide and giving us a chance to say good-bye for now.]]></description>

			<title>Paul Scholbel - a wonderful auditor</title>

			<description><![CDATA[Paul Shobel was one of the most wonderful auditors I had ever had. I was heart broken to hear that he had been shipped off to Anzo as a "security risk". Thank you so much Chris for writing this accurate detail of the man. He was truly loved by all who met him!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is just a m.f. shame, Chris! Thank you very much for the requiem of course but why didn't we know that Paul was out and that he was alone? We could've helped. I would line to help Paul in any way I could. He was the great guy, full of life, a true Scientologist. He was one of my most favorite people. His true requiem is the affair with a young Asian girl before he died. That's Paul! All about life.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I knew and loved Paul way back in the early days at FOLO ANZO when he first joined the TTC in the mid 1970s. He was a fun guy, a decent man, and a good buddy to hang out with. I hate to think about his life towards the end. Poor bastard. Here's to you, Paul, wherever you are.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My heart goes out to all who knew Paul and called him friend or considered him family and are just now learning what happened to him. This is so sad, and so telling. Too many people in the sea org have been chewed up and spit out, it leaves almost speechless at the horrors of it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks, Chris - Schobs was a great guy and truly loved by all who knew him. We crossed paths a few times after he left ANZO and that infectious wit had never left him - until he returned to die at AOSH ANZO a broken man. DM vilified Schobs at the GAT release in His speech to the Snr C/ses before the actual event - something I'l never forget and I'll never forgive him for. Although He didn't mention Schobs by name, the contempt that oozed out of His mouth as He spoke about Schobs and the supposed crimes he'd committed took me by surprise that day, and it started me wondering about Miscavige then. Unfortunately it took another 12 years before I put together the whole picture and left the Co$. RIP Schobs - until next time around.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes. I thank Chris for this tribute to Paul. I knew him well and he was always one of the very best people I knew in scientology. He was my Auditor and Twin for much of that time in Sydney and my friend for all of it. I spoke with him several times at Flag, when he was doing the Pro TRs and Metering evolution, and many times after he arrived back in ANZO. He told me that he and Kathy had chosen to come back to Oz so that he might have a better chance at a medical solution to his kidney failure but there was a strong element of "shore story". They'd used him up and we both knew it. I cared about Paul Schobel very much. The treatment meted out to him is one of the things that helped me break free of the CofS after 34 years of dedication. He may have appeared to be less like his former zealous self towards the end of his life but I choose to think that he'd finally seen where this whole sorry mess was heading. He knew the score and, like so many before him, he wasn't unhappy to think that his part in it was nearly over. RIP, Paul.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Chris, Thanks so much for telling it like it is with Paul Schobel. I didn't know what happened to him when he left the base. He was so brokenhearted at being sent back to Oz that none of his friends had a chance to say good-bye. The recent post on Marty's blog about what happens to Adventurers certainly seems to apply to Schobs. I will add my 2 cents to your story: Schobs was probably the best liked person in the history of the Int base. EVERYBODY, and I mean everybody, liked Schobs, except of course the one or two who were jealous of anyone who, as you say, had a permanent address on the sunny side of the street. In late 1998, in addition to his kidney problems, Paul had a heart bypass operation. Heidi Stahli talked to me about the shape he was in afterwards and he was in a bad way. I went to see him out at Kirby one Sunday morning and he was able to joke about the grisly details of being opened up and having his pipes re-configured. That Christmas I made him a present of the definition of a thetan: Someone who can't be killed but deserves to be. That was, and is, Paul Schobel. I got one session from him one time years before and he had the best auditor beingness I ever experienced. I wish everyone left at the Int Base could read what you've written here. They would go running for their pitchforks and torches to extract some justice from He Whose Name Will One Day Be Mud. You know a lot about the Ethics/Justice side of Int and I hope you will share more when the spirit moves you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Chris, thanks for taking the time to remember these magnificent folks some of us never had the good fortune to meet. I said it before and I guess I'll keep saying it -- the amount of evil the wretched little man has foisted upon the multitude of well meaning folks is quite something to confront.
