Hey Everyone,
I stumbled on this group by accident, but I thought I 'd mention that I grew up a block away from the Seed in Ft. Lauderdale ( I was 10 yrs old in '72). I was on 3rd Ave & 14the Strret, I think the Seed was Andrews and 14th or 13th I think.
What was the Straight? An off-shoot of the Seed or...?
Just wondering,

People that broke away from the Seed started "Straight" in St. Pete.

I happened to catch the "Montel" TV Show this morning at 6:00AM.  Two sisters from straight and a girl or "chick" from an overseas program and another guy and his Dad from WASP.  I see no similarities between those programs and the Seed what they had to say in refrence to the way they were treated and the way I was.  The Seed offshoots were very bad.

They Didn't "break away from the seed"...the seed packed up and left St Petersburg. These were all strong seed supporters, seed graduates and seed parents who tried to Fill the gap that the seed left in St Petersburg, and they just copied the Seed verbatim.

The only thing lacking was the weird little guy with matching shoes and belt.

Well that's funny. Because when I landed up in Straight, it seemed just exactly like The Seed to me, maybe just a tad more hard edged in some ways. And we were told again and again how damned lucky we were that we didn't land up in The Seed. I just kept my mouth shut about that. All I wanted was out and you don't get there by disagreeing w/ staff!

Wow, Michael, what was that like? In `73, I was 8 and spent a whole lot of time in that creepy building or waiting out in the parking lot w/ my parents for the Seedlings to be released. When I got back from Sarasota 10 years later, I thought it was so ironic that someone had set up a haunted house in that building. Never went, though. Did you? Was it any good?
