Jean Dubuis
Jean Dubuis was born in 1919 and died on April 10, 2010. He founded "Le Philosophes du Nature" (LPN) in France in 1979, and the organization became known in the United States as the Philosophers of Nature (PON) under the leadership of Russ House. Dubuis' mystical studies began after he experienced a profound awakening, at the age of twelve, in the island sanctuary of Mont Saint-Michel. This awakening led to a lifetime of experience in European and American esoteric circles. For over sixty years, he studied and practiced alchemy, cabbala, and related arts and sciences, and prior to founding LPN, Dubuis was intimately associated with the development of Martinism and Rosicrucianism. Professionally, Dubuis worked in the field of nuclear physics with the Nobel Prize winner Jolliot-Curie, and was employed by an international electronics firm for over thirty years.

| Hans Schimmer Hans Schimmer was born in 1924 and died of pneumonia on December 28, 2009, in Vienna, Austria. He was instrumental in re-organizing and expanding the Alchemy Guild in the 1960s and became its first President. An extremely private, intelligent, and cultured man, Hans considered himself a "parachemist" and always tried to present alchemy in practical terms as the "complete form of chemistry." Hans was a traditionalist and always cautioned that the Guild must be conservative in sharing its goals, philosophy, and teachings with the uninitiated, and never demean those teachings by "casting pearls before swine." He believed all true alchemists must be individually initiated into the mysteries of alchemy in one-on-one meetings with adept alchemists who could guage the level at which each student should work. His private initiations covered spiritual as well as practical laboratory work. He will be sorely missed by his former students and all members of the Alchemy Guild. Hans Nintzel
