I DO believe my folks may have been influenced by Arts' proceedures for a short time only,BUT-having my abums taken and my only poster thrown away was sincerely a ploy for power in a family that really wanted me gone anyway-which I was soon after.My phone conversations were recorded and tv time had been taken since I was 11.Arts' deal was helpful to a point,until the parents were asked to basically follow the same rules.That's when they dropped it like a lead weight.My folks were sincere drinkers of scotch from the old school.My old man could finish a fifth and a half in an evening and be fresh at 5a.m.However,on his desk for years was a bottle of 1000 10 mg. dextroamphetaminesulphate tabs.Of course the more I visited, the less the bottles contents became.Mom said "If I listenend to that music it'd be no wonder i took drugs." The biggest changes in music were happening then-1970 and around.They were born 1910 and 1917.There was no way they could hold themselves together with their views though.It's tough now for me to see the true within the new as it is now and I just hit 50.I feel a new conscientiousness and can't share it at a teen level where my heart beats.I suppose that should be normal.

June was a nice name for this highly individualized personna.She didn't fit into any sterotypes and counselors couldn't tie her to habitual behaviour.She eventually tended at at a big daddys where Big Mama Blu started singing.She had a bit of a crimson rosatia on one cheek and a highly addictive fun attitude.On the strip in '73 she would haunt the strip with cries of "ah ah eee eee tookie tookie"!!Off the strip slighty and near the hall of fame pool,Big Mama Blu was starting to come to her singing senses.

I was in the SEED on 84, I was one of the guys who mowed arts grass(LOL). I actually like some of the staff and then there were other I could do wihtout. Does anybody remember Robert Chunn, Suzie Conners of any other staff for the early 70's?
GregFL:
Sure I remember Suzie, but I never personally knew Robert.
Welcome to the forum!
Tell us something you remember about your experience at the seed.

I was a grad of the 84 room. I remember playing softball and I was one the guys who work with Robert (a black staff member) at Art's house. I also worked on Art's boat when it sank. I have a lot of fond memories of the Seed, I was on staff for a grand total of about two weeks. I knew right away it was not for me. Suzie was always trying to get other people to do her work for her. The staff members played the same game on me after I left staff-the guilt trip-not good enough. but I hung with some other guys who were pretty decent people and had fun with them. I am glad I went. I was lost, confused and angry 16 year old. I had a lot of resentment when I left.
As the years went by I saw that what I learned at the Seed still applied-so weather I was conned or not the words were correct and to be honest with myself and keep challenging myself still applied. As I stated befoe I was angrya nd went back out for a long time. Then I guess I grew up and don't even drink anymore. I feel a lot better now-but mainly due to growing a pair.
