Dr. Rick:
Seth - I will send you a PM. In the interim, the Seth I am thinking about shared an apartment with another guy who owned a pet snake, lived near some railroads tracks next door to war veteran who buried his car in the backyard and would take newcomers to the Seed in the AM in the back of his old pickup truck. Is this one in the same? I hope you are doing well.
Seth:
Yup thats me. Ohh yea

Seth, I didn't know you had lived in the apartment in Hollywood. It was really sort of a cottage or shack - the porch was dirt, the doors were so narrow we had to saw the legs off our couch to get it thru the door, and you had to walk thru the shower to get into the back bedroom - what a dump! Actually, those were some of my happiest Seed days - I lived there with Mitch, Mike and maybe one other person. I worked with Jim Helm for the one-armed plater. We were far from staff and other seed kids, and had a lot of freedom, comparatively. We used to hold wrestling matches, fool around and laugh like crazy. No wonder staff broke us up before too long!
The guy who buried a VW in his front yard was our neighbor - he had the house surrounded by sandbags, and he used to wear a uniform and was never out during the day, only at night when he would rant at rave at 3 am about blacks and jews - truly scary.
Odd how much I loved that place. That was before Mitch became a snooty insider with a fancy job title. He was my best friend for a while, though.

Yea I lived in the hollywood apt / dump. I remember a sign that said "don't kill the mice, they eat roaches." then Mark G brought home some ferrets - they ate the mice. Lived there with Jack H, Craig D, Jeff and ??? (brothers from Jupiter) - we also had the place next door (opposite the crazy guy) - I think Jeff N lived there as well
the remoteness, and proximity to Jaxsons, made it a pretty cool place

Heck I loved living there.
The guy next door was a war veteran who's war inujuries had sadly their toll.
Myself and a couple other guys were the first to live there as we had moved in shortly after graduation our program... so it was all graduates for a very long time. As you mentioned tho those cottages were eventually rented out to guys who were on the program. I believe they were owned by a family who had a son on the program at one time.
We did a lot of fishing in those days so we were always finding new ways to cook kingfish and dolphin. We also made a few trips to disneyworld. I believe it was Bruce S who had the boa, and another guy George Z also lived there. There were both great guys and we had a lot of good times living there. Yea they were kinda dumpy but it didnt matter to me. I think that I was still pumping gas part time at a gas station somewhere so it was probably all I could afford anyway.
George had this hamster or gerbil or some wierd assed rodent type thing and he would imitate the noise that it made and have us all rolling in laughter.
Definately had some good times there.
