Where are all the St Pete Seed peeps??

<< < (9/13) > >>

GregFL:
Yes, my sister did have a very hard time.

One of the hard things was the wedge that was driven between us.  I hardly saw her during the seed except when they stood her up to humiliate her or vise versa. At home we were scared to talk every word was scrutinized and you didn't even know if you could trust your own family members. At 16 I had to get out of St pete or be thrown back in, and then  It took my sister and I years to recover our relationship.  Our family never really did recover from this fully.

For some reason Shelly I remember details about everybody including you. If I close my eyes I can see a 16 year old Shelly Gillette with a pretty smile and long blonde hair.

Yes, the kids at lakewood were anything but nice to us seed kids. They taunted us, called us names, the girls would teasingly flirt with me just to arise a reaction...the boys would try to fight or as you said, throw you against the locker. All the while I was petrified that Someone would (and often did) go back to staff and tell on me for some percieved anti-seedling action.  It was absolute terror and hell for me. The seedling table in the lunchroom was our only santuary where no one would mess with us.

If you want to talk to me, you can over on the left hit private messages and then leave one for Gregfl, or you can email me at rocky93@tampabay.rr.com.

Steve Cason died? How sad. He went to lakewood with me, and I knew him in middle school as well.

Bennet Beverly died also, killed himself.

Dave leverone, drug overdose.

Julie, welcome!  What school did you go to?

Good morning Greg,
I went to Bogie. I had dropped out in 10th grade, and then during the seed I went back to finish high school. It was amazing how even some teachers hated seed kids. I had a history teacher who kept giving me f's all the time, even though I knew the work. I got A's and B's in all my other classes. A lot of my old friends still were in school, or they would be waiting for me when I drove into the parking lot. I'd get surrounded at times, and man was I scared. I held my ground though, and in time they left me alone. My sister Kathy had to come in or I "wouldn't ever be able to go home." She tried weed 1 time. The seed really messed her up, and also my younger sister. My younger sister lost most of her friends, and of course she felt as if all the attention went to me. She was only 12 at the time.
I remember one time coming home from the seed with 3 newcomers in the car, and my old friends had the road blocked with 3 cars. I went up into peoples yards just to get into our driveway and run into the house. The next morning, my parents whole garage door was full of Seed Sucks stickers. :roll: Those were the days of the great seed. Not!! Talk to you soon,
Julie

Julie, do (did?) you have red hair?

My sister remembers you.  

Also, you said your parents did not help start straight, Inc.

Recognize their name here? This list includes those on the original and subsequent boards of straight, Inc.

JaLong:
Hello Greg,
I read the list, and I recognize so many names on there. The most surprising one is my ex's father, Ray Bourgholtzer. He has been a thorn in my side for too many years. Mainly because I had my 3rd child in 1990 when I was still Bourgholtzer, and I gave her that last name. He wants me to change it, and I said I would if he's going to pay for it. :wink: I'll talk to you soon.
God Bless,
Julie
