L ron hubbard children

After we posted the most recent version of our “Not Forgotten” memorial, which included Quentin Hubbard, the troubled son of Scientology’s founder, we received this touching tribute from Val Ross.

In the insular world of Scientology, we knew LRH had a son named Quentin. Some people had met and liked him, some thought him a bit “off”. We had all been taken to Anaheim and watched when all of Hubbard’s children spoke at Human Rights Day in August, 1976. Quentin was very much alive and verbal, and coherent at that event.

Quentin Hubbard

American scientologist (1954–1976)

Geoffrey Quentin McCaully Hubbard (January 6, 1954 – November 12, 1976), was the son of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and his third wife, Mary Sue Hubbard. He died at the age of 22 in an apparent suicide.^[1]

After Ron's eldest son Ron Jr. quit Scientology in 1959, Ron chose Quentin as his successor to lead the organization. Quentin went to sea with Ron when he established the Sea Organization, living on the flagship Apollo and reaching the highest level of auditor training. He disagreed with his father's plans, sometimes saying that he wanted to be a pilot,^{[2]: 213–214} and in 1974 that he would like to be a dancer.
