I am pretty sure that I heard RD Cronquist refer to himself as an Apostle at one time or another. Not sure what the qualifications are for that designation (In Walk parlance anyway). He ultimately pulled out of the group at some point in the late 70's. He tried to hang onto the physical plant at Coniah (locked us all out of the building, changed the locks, etc. at one point).
The property was all in his name and we and to go to court to get it back. I was there at that time. It was never clear what his beef was with JRS that caused it. Maybe he wanted to be the supreme grand wazoo instead of JRS.
After reading everything here and in the Nichols paper, I am wondering if perhaps his beef was legit. I remember the people feeling that the property was not really his to own since we had all put our own labor and money into it. It seemed that the courts agreed.
All in all I was happy because RD scared the crap out of me. I always thought he was a few cards short of a full deck anyway.
