You don't recall correctly. See #294744, next-to-last paragraph, for Sawyer's comments about an interview with Vasudevananda supporters. As to Satchananda, not sure what you could be referring to; he wasn't a candidate to replace Guru Dev. Sawyer's never mentioned him in any of his emails about the succession controversy that Rick has posted here. In fact, according to Yahoo's Advanced Search, you're the only person on FFL ever to have mentioned Satchananda, and those mentions weren't in connection with the succession controversy either. For that matter, Sawyer's book may not have anything about the succession controversy anyway.
