Would you please talk to your sister about posting her experience in detail about having the Seed's "love" beat into her at the request of staff?
Thank you so much...

These are very old memories. I don't even know where these places were located. The place where my dad was called in to beat my sister was at the warehouse-like place, with loading docks and such (this is also the place that poor embattled Aurthur yanked her forcefully from her chair). It seems like that location directly followed the race-track location. Do you know when that move might have occurred?
As far as the beating, it definitely happened, although, as you can imagine, any parent who was willing to administer a beating in that setting was already pretty practiced at such. My dad was.
As far as my sister, as soon as she was allowed to go home, she started writing "the Seed Sucks" all over the neighborhood. She was a real anomaly, entirely resistant to indoctrination. She's not much of a writer though (I still laugh when I think of her four word moral inventories), so I doubt she'd post anything here. :smile:

you are speaking of the seed "home" on SR84, also known as "the compound" and various other monikers the press used to describe it. It was a warehouse right before alligator alley on SR84 in Ft Lauderdale, and it had a big fence around it. Art had a private office. I was only there once but many here, including Ft Lauderdale, Ginger, Cleveland, and others spent many many nights of their young lives in that building.

Im sorry. It really wasn't a "move" per se. Art opened the Miami location in 1973, and then closed and moved the Miami kids to the actual seed location in Ft Lauderdale. This occured in 1973, but I don't have the date with me at this moment.
It seems you were in during the heydey of the seed. So was I. I went in July of 73 in St Petersburg at the age of 14. So we were seedlings at roughly the same time.

Having all these memories revived, I was telling a friend today about the absolutely oppressive BOREDOM of it all (which in my memory, pretty much overrides every other detail which I might have otherwise recalled). The hours and hours and hours of monotonous nonsense! Oh God, when my dad threatened to take me back there at 14, I crawled out my bedroom window and never looked back (which was in '74, when your trials and tribulations which just starting!)
The funny thing is, neither then, nor later, nor now, have I really been "into" drugs! :smile:

Ah, I'm starting to get my bearings here. Well, I turned 13 in October of 1973 -- so I guess I was 12 when I entered the Seed, and not 11. God those years, and all of the drug rehab programs, are confusing -- especially for a kid who never took drugs! :smile:
