• Re: Fritz Wunderlich's death -- Synopsis

    I was involved with the Summit Lighthouse in my youth and no-one ever asked me to give my life savings. In fact, I offered to do so, and asked Elizabeth to tell me what to do with my 19 year old life and received a letter back stating that she would not
    do so, and that the process of free will choice of your life's path was essential in developing discernment and following the path of Christ, so I think you are full of something. Never heard of this Doris Russell, but ouija and all forms of psychicism
    were strictly verboten.

    I believe the trivia question is Queen of Spades?

    A Los Angeles "psychic" named Doris Russell (or Ross) has written a

    the circumstances of his death. If you are in the mood to read some
    really
    goofy stuff here is the synopsis:

    WHAT AN OPERA THIS WOULD MAKE!
    Bits of Baby Doe, Peter Ibbetson, Turn of the Screw, Semele....
    And to hear Wunderlich sing it ....!
    TRIVIA QUESTION FOR OPERA LOVERS:
    In what popular opera is the Comte de St. Germain mentioned, as the source
    of the characters' supernatural troubles?
    (He was a renowned charlatan in an era famous for them. In the late 20th century, though, Elizabeth Claire Prophet, the heresiarch from Montana who had all her followers give her their life savings so that she could build a vast fallout shelter for them in anticipation of World War III, c. 1994, AND THEN DID IT WITH THE MONEY, claimed to be receiving a mystic interpretation of Christianity directly from Saint Germain, whose portrait hung in the home of friends of mine who succumbed to these teachings.)
    Oh, by the way, to keep the ball rolling:
    The story I heard is that Gottlob Frick, overcome by jealousy of Fritz's legato, got him drunk and shoved him down the stairs after dinner....
    This was told me at a Chicago Symphony Rheingold at Carnegie Hall. Frick
    sang Loge, and the story seemed perfectly believable in context.
