Biography* Mrs. Joyce (Culpepper) Organ wrote 28 Jul 1978: Iris Inez is a Dr (Honorary) and Vice President of the Church of Cosmic Science in San Jose, Calif. She is a lecturer and healer (not the spectacular kind). Was born a curly-haired, blue-eyed blond, and began singing at an early age. Had her own program on the Voice of America when she was stationed with the Army of Occupation in Germnay. Sang at all special services when in Almagordo, New Mexico, and directed and sang in a WAF chorus while in Tokyo. Has now retired from Lockheed's Sunnyvale Plant (where our spy satellites are produced, only she did not tell me this. I found it out from a book by Peter Klass). Since her retirement she has bought and learned to run a printing press, which she uses for her church.
      Joyce added that Iris had been a WAC and has not married.
