Greg, not that my memory on this is all that great, or that it will clear up a whole lot. but i dont remember them really talking to much about any ceremony. i am sure soemthing had to be done to at least present it. but i dont remember anything being said about it.
not a very factual post, but the best i can remember as it pertains to it being discussed at the time.

maybe this will help, Dr. Jack Taylor, ( a real PHD and Seed parent), was one of the administrators of Fort Lauderdale College at the time, promoted the degree to honor Art for all the work he had done to help the community."

Real PhD, eh? Maybe he would care to give us a history lesson, or at least make one up.
Usually, colleges and universities are rabid about preserving their histories. My own Alma Mater sends me dead trees monthly emblazoned with accomplishments of alumni who are now only familiar in their own workforce. But they are alumni, and the good ol' U. needs to get the word out while they beg for my contribution to the alumni association.
Why is there no history of this Ft. Lauderdale College?
Come to think of it - my mother reports that Helen Petermann had a wall full of diplomas. There is nothing in Petermann's credentials that back this up. Wasn't she also a seed parent? Maybe she knows Dr. Jack Taylor?

It was all just word of mouth hear-say from oldtimers and oldcomers, but I recall being told that Art had studied all the major world religions as well as psychology and that this (in addtion to AA) is where he derived the Seed's methodology / content. I never questioned it at the time.

It was rejected because the answer was bullshit..it insinuated the Art institute Of Ft Lauderdale was accredited when in fact, in 1972 it was not, and the degree apparantly didn't come from there. In addition, The Art institute of Ft Lauderdale has never awarded doctorates of any type. Yet the post was repleate with dishonest references to accreditation that came later for lesser degrees.
Looking for an honest answer...
