An attorney from Dallas met Adano in 1969 and he sent some photographs of Adano made in 1972 in Tyler, Texas. What a treasure!
Two more wonderful photos of Adano. Thank you to Lelia for these. She took the first one during one of their 14 hour nine day seminars with Adano in Massachusetts around 1972.
Another photo, probably from around the same time.
From a “Life Stress” course Adano gave in the 1970s. Another wonderful photo courtesy of Lelia Saunders. Thank you again Lelia! Thanks to Mark Harrington, we have more information on who is in the picture. He writes, “my mother Sylvia Harrington is standing to the far left, in the striped pants, and next to her is Eva Jane McKinney and that was from Rockland, MA group where to the right of Margaret Berry and Adano is the host of that group Bob O’Donnell, who worked with my mother at Honeywell in Wilmington MA, invited her into that group in 1972, and was initiated shortly thereafter.” And even more information from Lelia Saunders via Marjorie Morgan, can be found at this link.
Lelia writes that this photo was “taken at the White Crow Bookstore where Adano taught a class in Massachusetts around 1974. The owners of the bookstore are on the right.”
Mark also sent the photos below and wrote, “I met Adano my first time in August of 1974 and here is a photo my mother just found today taken in the backyard at Rockland, MA when Adano was performing a wedding ceremony. My mother took this photo and most of the people in that group were from the greater Boston area, but some could have been followers that traveled to hear all of the Satsangs and attend the workshops.” Thank you again Mark!

Mark also sent this photo and says, “Here is the glass tiffany style All Souls Fellowship stained glass creation that hung in the living room window in Rockland, MA at Bob O’Donnell’s house. As for the creator of the glass art work, I haven’t a clue who produced that but everyone back then had those symbols in neck medallion form that Adano had made somewhere.”
