GregFL:
Thank you for your post. Your feelings are shared by a great many people like myself, whom was forced into the Seed in 1973. It changed my live forever and devasted my family.

I really did just miss you in Va. hell, I was there when Nancy and Princess Di were there. It was such a fake thing they had that building sparkling they brought in all this nice stuff, like silver and carpeting just to impress them. We spent a long time making these huge banners that were hung outside with a flag and one announcing the kids of Straight welcome.... It was a totally staged bunch of crap!!! they were worried about some people "acting out" so they went into the intake rooms. I was reading your other posts we have alot in common forever on first phase and we only made it to fourth, I copped out of of fourth phase as well. It is interesting to hear how people turned out. In one post you mentioned both brendan Mcnamar and Chris Scoggins as Sr. Staff, I remember when brendan was a trainee and chris was still on his phases I think he just made staff when I split. Was Don pearson still there? I hated that guy!!! and the feeling was mutual. I am pretty new to these sites myself It is like a huge weight was let off my shoulders, (that I did not realize was there) being able to get out alot of these things to people who really undrestand. I repressed alot of things and it is amazing how many things begin to come back. I am trying to remember people that you and I might Know. Staff Barbara, Kathy, Jo jo ramano, I remember more girls than guys. How about Laura klish, Dave and Laura tipton, alana mcdougal...she copped out off of first phase once I do not know how but my hats off to her. Anne reardon, Regina and andy brown. Lisa slaby??? any of those names sound familiar?

Hi Diane,
I just saw some of your other posts and was thinking the exact same thing, we must of just missed each other. I definitely remember alot of the names which you have mentioned. Most all of those were the staff members in place when I arrived. I liked Alana McDougal, and I remember the Tiptons. I remember Don Pearson, didn't care for him. I remember Laura Klisch, and I suddenly remembered one staff member I really liked, but I think it was because he always played guitar in group and he reminded me of a "druggie" version of Ron Howard, his name was Richard Mullinax, I believe that was his name.
I don't know if you've considered attending this conference coming up 6/8-6/9 in St. Pete or not. I'm still undecided at the moment, but the more and more I think about it, the more I want to go.
Love to chat more anytime.
GregFL:
Dude, go to the conference, what do you have to lose? Right now you are living in the birthplace of the Seed, which spanned the Straight. I look forward to meeting you.

Thanks Greg. I think that's the kind of support I need! Can anyone relate? :smile:
And how ironic it is that I live as you so mildly put in the birthplace of The Seed. I had never heard of this place before, and I moved down here in 1994 thinking I was far from any of those criminals!
I just asked one of my good friends, who I've known since I moved down here 8 years ago, if he knew of The Seed. He immediately was like "Yeah! I can even show you where it is on State Rd. 84." He however, doesn't know anyone personally any longer who went through there, and I think any information he had about the place was second hand. I then told him, that the place I went to in DC was based on The Seed, and I had just found this info out for the first time thanks to Wes Fager's site http://www.thestraights.com
I must say trying to explain the program to someone who never has been exposed to anything like it before, is very difficult. I have since left him with the website address for Mr Fager's "A Clockwork Straight", and I hope he will read it since I think he, and many other lucky outsiders, will begin to comprehend the atrocities which have been and are still being committed to this day.
They cry it's tough love, I think it's tough abuse. I must agree with someone else's posting where they said whenever they hear someone say "Love You", you want to know why or what they really mean.
