A Seed Book

(1/3) > >>

innerfish:
In polking around on the web I found that a memoir is to be published by one of the seed alums. Evan Wright the author of "Generation Kills" apparently was at the seed, from what I was told, in Cleveland and Ft Lauderdale, and has wrtten the book and plans to publish it in 2010. I am an alumni, I came on the front row twice in 1977 in Cleveland and then went to Ft Lauderdale to help my mother when she put my younger brother and sister on the program. I thought I knew everybody from around that time, I stuck around untill 1981 but I don't remember this guys name or face. (Just hope he wasn't one of my newcomers !!)
Anyone else know him ?

For the record the seed really screwed me and my family up alot, I've been reading the posts here lately but have gotten really depressed, and haven't been able to respond, yet. I can't imagine what reading a book about the experience will do.

I miss all the good friends I had in the seed, MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Peace

 From Cleveland

Hey there! I just found your post. You might remember a McNulty or two in Ft. Lauderdale. I was the little sister, Ginger. I know this stuff is hard to take but don't let it get you down. I've heard the same rumor about Evan's book. I don't know him personally but I have it on some pretty good info that he's legit. Looking forward to the book coming out. How did you hear about it?

innerfish:
I heard about it from Marc Polonsky. I read his article and contacted him, he eventually lead me here. I'm much better about things now but at first all the memories came rushing back at once, whew !!!  I do remeber the McNultys somewhat, reading the posts brings back lots of names, I'm a McNulty on my mothers side ( no relation ). Outside of the insanity of the Seed, my time in Ft Lauderdale was the best time of my life. I learned a trade, developed a vocation, and had some really good times playing with my buddies, even today those times come up over and over again in conversations with my family. The Seed part of that experience has been a dark, dark cavern that I haven't spent much trime exploring until lately, reading what others wrote helps. When alot of us were booted from Fla to Cleveland it was implied that we weren't to talk about the Seed, and that others here were 'Full of shit". So we didn't, Even in a family with 4 Seed grads who were told to leave for varying reasons, we rarely bring it up.

I'm glad this is here.

It's a lot like that with my family. Jack and I have been close over the years but the rest of the family are pretty much still in the program. Most of the time we just don't talk at all. And I'm starting to realize that I will just never be quite right. I just can't connect with people in any kind of normal or satisfying way.

sounds familiar somehow
