Circa 73, and those days open meetings were on Mondays and Fridays.  That soon changed to just fridays sometime in early 74.

And no, it isn't a small open meeting, just a fragment of the audience.  Back then, the group was somewhere around 700 to 1000 kids.  Add in a couple thousand parents and guests, and you get the idea.

No such luck in Cincy str8...we always had OM on M and F's.

Ok...thought so....I'll never forget OM....its weird seing the parents talking to the kid just like in str8...creepy. Damn that is a huge group!

So I am trying to get my historical facts right. In 76 the Morgan Yacht building became Straight, St Pete? Then how long was the Morgan Yacht building used? What years? Does anyone know?

In case no one gets the significance of the pic, the daughter is across the isle getting publically 'talked to' by her dad on the mike, while the mom cries on dad's shoulder.

Oh I got that alright....the Seed using the same methods we later had in str8. That picture really helps to illustrate Str8=Seed (with a few differences).

It's just so heavy when you think about how they tried to erase us, like a mistake.  That's arrogance.  Such dark and sinister arrogance.  And it's a mistake on their part.  To think that all they do is talk, but nothing is in their hearts.  They fear us because we don't fear the same things that they do.  We are not attached to the same ideas that they are.  They see our potential and  are afraid of the future.  They know they cannot control us except by imprisonment and deprivation.  There is a long history of struggle and oppression.

They just want us all on the res.  ...

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

The Morgan Yacht building was given to the Seed in early 1973 (morgan was a seed parent) for free usage for two years.  At the end of the time frame, the Seed bought the building for less than 200 grand.  When the Seed cleared out, somehow the seed parents got 'usage' of the building ( I believe the seedmight have sold it to a seed supporter) and just moved Straight right in there, along with the seed graduates, Mrs. Peteman, et al...and restarted up the seed sans Art Barker & Co.
