Art Barker & the Beginning of the SEED
Kathy:
Does anyone have any concrete evidence on how "The Seed" began?
Froderik:
You must already know that it was the offspring of SYNANON.

Kathy:
Yes, I know that Robert DuPont said that The Seed's methods were based on a synanon from Synanon. But that is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for specifics and concrete evidence of how it actually began. Was Art in the Synanon? If so, is there evidence of this? Or was he recruited by someone else (say in the gov't) to start and experimental rehab. I need details. Do you know what I mean?
Thanks, Kathy
Froderik:
I figured as much, but some time went by and I thought "What the hell, I'll post the link to the flow chart.." I figured you were most likely up to speed with this, but wasn't sure..as far as specifics, you'll have to consult the 'experts' from Florida on that one I guess. I have no idea. Ginger? GregFL?
Antigen:
Greg might know more than I do. But, as far as I know, it's sort of a mystery. The legend goes that Art started out living on an unseaworthy yacht docked at the Playboy Club, where he did a $20 stand up gig once a month. I don't know of any documentation, other than Art quoted in the local press. Somewhere on his site, Wes has a copy of a NIDA grant application. But that was a year or more after The Seed's founding.
