seed'70
tom s.:
Anyone here remember the seed 1970?Innocently posing as a hippie house on S.E.3'rd st.Ft.Laud. I think with a big metal peacesign sculpture on the lawn about 41/2- 5 feet in diameter-yellow and also green.I thought it was a used jean store.I went running in there february '70 and found myself in a very Billy Jack community school-like group of people around my age-15 and younger and some older,and Art in a room w/a desk,Pam,a really sweet girl about 20 who cooked for the group,and a sort of innocent seeming ambling about of all,eventually evolving into a session.Anyone remember back that far?

I didn't come in until 76 but I think many of us here would love to hear anything you could share about the early Seed, it's origins, etc. Giant peace sign, huh? Amazing. By my time there nearly any trace of any such counter-culture trappings had disappeared.

I came in July 73..those stories are all legend.
Welcome Tom!
Please tell us a bit about the seed back then. How formal were the "rap sessions". Punishments/rewards? Any mention of the synanon?
Anything you can remember, please tell us!

I remember the house on 3rd ave. in 1970
Did Pam have long blond hair ? , she was very beautiful from what I remember. I was about 16 at that time as well time and they served free meals, which attracted a lot of the young street hippies at that time
Do you rmember Maureen, she was like a staff member, and Hap and Mavis, I remember a wedding there as well, it was very Billy Jack like, that was a great discription. People came and went as they pleased. No one tried to make me cut my hair , lots of hugging and genuine caring, it was a very special time. There was a record player up front with several of rock albums . I remember Maureen getiing down to "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain. I remember telling my friends about this cool place called the seed. Every time some one knew came in we really wanted to help them, I remember really caring about everybody back then. My friend Tom W. turned me on to the seed back then and he was only 14 at the time, we both Just walked in, and we were greeted with open arms, and of course a free meal , we used t hitch hike to the meetings from hollywood and some of the time someone would ride us home.
