GregFL:
Before the seed each of my siblings and I had joined the colombia music club. We each had a huge stack of music. I had a small turntable in my room and would often just sit in there and listen to some really good music...yes and Emerson lake and palmer were two of my favorites.

When I came home, my parents told me that I needed to get rid of all "old druggie ties". I went in my room and discovered they had already done it for me for the most part..removing all my posters throwing away my clothes and replacing it with white tee shirts (pocket) and straight leg jeans and such.

But the music was saved for me. I physically had to throw all that music in the garbage. I didn't want to but knew the consequences of non compliance and was sure I would end up back on the front row if I even showed a hint of remorse. The truth is the fear of returning to someone else's locked home and increasing my "sentence" was a much bigger motivator than keeping my beloved music which represented two years of monthly choices and allowance and many hours of blissfull peacefull time alone.

so I did it, and as expected when my face and actions were explored for regret I stuffed it big time..

The seed I attended was much different than the early or the later seed. Straight, Inc. was modeled after my seed.  Thanks Art!

Now, I woulnd't give you a nickel for the early or the later seed, but the Seed St Pete truly was screwed up and had a mean edge to it.  Even John U acknowledged this when we spoke.

Antigen:
I remember "No listening to WSHE or other druggie stations." That one carried over to the Bay area stations in the sequel.

Remember one stormy night a couple of guys snuck up behind somebody else and dumped the tarp on them? I remember the event but not the ppl involved.

When you say staff members appeared, what do you mean? Weren't they all drawn from group?
We are a one party country. Half of them call themselves Democrats and the other half call themselves Republicans. All the good ideas come from the Libertarians.

tom s.:
Memory can be like looking through a container of ten thousand buttons.The peace sign might have made it to the 2'nd seed sight on s. Andrews to be placed in the back somewhere.It was not mentioned after an initial drown-out of all prior "hippy ways".In the very beginning of the 2'nd seed house we were allowed to sit behind or to the right of the house in the shade of an old tree which could actually shade all of the present members perhaps at that "shift".Other members did appear out of somewhere,staffers were appearing from who knows where.

GregFL:
Now that is very interesting Tom.

Just where were these staffers appearing from, and who were they?  Do you remember any visits from Robert  Dupont during this Time?

JaLong:
Boy Greg does this bring back memories. When I finally went home, my parents got rid of every "druggie" thing in my bedroom. They threw away all my albums and 8 track tapes. I had all the Beatle albums. They found all of my diaries, my poster of Kenny Rogers, that he gave me and signed, and they found my book I had cut out, clued the pages together, and used to hide my dope. I remember feeling so violated and angry. An old friend of mine had some of my albums, and gave them to me after I got out of the seed. Oh yeah right! "druggie" music is going to lead me back to dope. What the heck was Art thinking. Unfortuatly, my parents were so naive they believed every thing that they were told. What a bunch of B.S. Thanks for the memories- Not.
