Lindle was raised in Oklahoma. He left there to serve in the U.S. Air Force, completing a nine-month course in Russian and spending half of his eight-year period service in the Far East. On his return to the States, he married the former Elizabeth Jean “Betty” Kantorski on April 28, 1965 at Frances, Ok and began his oil field career, which would lead him to travel extensively around the continental United Sates as well a Angola for a brief period. The isolation of offshore oil rigs afforded Mr. Flatt the time to investigate the age-old knowledge handed down by sages of many cultures, which he used in writing his first book, The Eighth Day. He and Betty enjoyed racing their quarter horses and vacationing in Monterey California as well as gold prospecting in the Sonoran Desert and Alaska.

Preceding him in death are his parents; sisters, Melva Caudle, Aloma Stinson and Brenda Shaw.
