I heard ART retired

<< < (3/6) > >>

GregFL:
No, you gotta give credit where credit is due. Art pioneered the synanon concept for non addicted youthfull drug experimenters, and was direct inspiration for the straight. Most of the other synanon's never had the far reaching power that the Seed and then the straight seemed to garner.
As far as Art, libbi, and shelly being spooky, hell ya, just look at that picture, but I no longer feared them once I broke away from my father. He yielded the power to put me there, and when I took that away from him, Art & co became powerless. Ken is right, I should have thrown his ass in the pool.

Kathy:
I didn't realize that these people you spoke of (Lybbi and shelly) were also in the picture.  Who are they in relation to Art.  I see that Shelly has the same last name, she looks like maybe she's a daughter?? and the other one looks like maybe his wife??? I dunno, explain please... this isn't the first time I've heard theses names pop up along side of Art's name.

  Anybody know why he would have shut down the place instead of passing it on to one of his prodigies??

GregFL:
Well, as you can tell, Shelly is a bit younger than Art. I believe she was in the program and married Art. When I was in the Seed, Libbi was Libbi McDonald, and she was senior staff of the St Pete Seed. She seemed to run the place, but no one really knew as Art Flew in weekly. Somewhere in there, she was adopted by Art and Shelly and became Libbi Barker. She now goes by Libbi Barker Kienzle, as she has been married to another seedling for some 20 years. I was contacted by his sister last year to try to get him to call home. Seems he has cut all ties with his family also.
  So actually, Shelly is his wife, and Libbi is their "Daughter".
Apparantly, they are still one big happy family.
Clear it up?
I think this little essay best described the difference between the seed and the straight. The straight was a cult like place. The seed, an actual cult.

Kathy:
Ok, now that is weird.  Gross!! I haven't got anything else to say...  I've got to go pick my jaw up off of the ground...
