Found this tidbit in FORBIDDEN SCIENCE 3: On the Trail of Hidden Truths, The Journals of Jacques Vallee 1980-1989, p. 100:

Hyde Street. Thursday 12 August 1982.

Anton and Diane, whom we hadn't seen for years, came over for dinner yesterday. We

commiserated about the state of our respective homes, as owners of old San Francisco

Victorians regularly do. The conversation expanded to computers, movies, the Telluride

festival, and crazy new sects. We gave them a demonstration of the Adventure game on

the InfoMedia machine. I had a feeling that their life had settled into a more bourgeois

pattern since our last meeting. Their daughter Karla now lives in Amsterdam, Zeena in

Sacramento with her son Stanton, and Anton spends much of his time building a video

collection of film noir and horror movies. He hadn't heard of Montenegro or Das Boot,

which surprised me . Anton seems to have lost much of his charisma and power. He

reminded of Allen Hynek, still magnetic, a living legend, and warmly human, but the

higher inspiration has evaporated.

Er, think that's Anton & Diane LaVey, as in Church of Satan co-founders! Check the index?

Yup, it's them: "LaVey, Anton, 100, 136, 220, 247, 266, 302, 327, 328, 397, 439".

He was in regular contact with LaVey! I covered it in one of these dispatches: https://tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/forbidden-science-dispatches-3
