RicciC,
I have pretty much the same view of the Seed as yourself, at least as I interpret your posts.
There are peaple who I recall.
There was one black dude, Leonard Pope. He was a tough, smart street hustler on the outside. I wonder what ever happened to him.
Or this red haired hard core biker, Randy.
Or this, tall what appreared to be fairly respected dealer on the outside, Marco.
I wonder what happened to those guys.
I met a guy from the Seed in Texas in the early 80's. I was at state road 84, he was at the Miami race track. I met him in the University of Texas MBA program. He got the highest starting salary with what was then the Big 8 pulic accounting firms. He was telling the partners in the firms he was interviewing about his misspent youth and being in the Seed. I think he used it as a differentiator.
A male friend who got put in the Seed after me, and would talk to me after I got kicked out, I just saw how he is working as a Librarian at a Junior college.
Interesting memories.
