I only have time to skim this thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating anything.
The Seed started out on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale, expanded to St. Pete, Cleveland, briefely to New York and Miami. After the Ervin report on the Federal Role in Behavior Modification and Art's refusal to play anything less than the God role in his cult, they lost the Federal funding. They didn't shut down, though, and he didn't scoot to Cleveland. They just quit taking minors for awhile till the heat was off and retracted into a small, reclusive but extremely lucrative cult back in Ft. Lauderdale till around 2000 or so. At that time, an event occurred which, according to 'old timers', has come to be known as "The Rap From Hell", during which the Libbi and Art factions had it out for the final time, tore the blanket and disincorporated The Seed, Inc.
Ask GregFL for more details. Also, if you happen across a full color Seed logo, please pass it along!
Thanks,
