Thomas Forman attended Trinity College, Cambridge and worked for British Intelligence during the Second World War. Later, his doctor, Kenneth Walker, introduced him to the Ouspenkys. He worked with them at Lyne, England and then in Mendham, New Jersey, where Mr. Forman managed their property. After P. D. Ouspensky’s death, Tom Forman, along with Lord Pentland and others, began to meet with Gurdjieff at Mme. Ouspensky’s initiative. He went on to become a trustee of the Gurdjieff Foundation of New York.
