An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

You guys or gals have very clearly put that experience into terms that make sense. The seed I was in was different in someways, but I suppose to over-arching effect was the same - even despite the time difference.

I sincerely thank you for your informative posts.

Amen to that, my overwhelming reflections, thoughts and feelings are of all the people that I met, learned from, laughed (& cryed) with, got to know and regret never knowing. The Seed made such a difference in my life, and yes I was the correct little soldier for many years after I left, but even after years of further research I came back to many of the truths (about myself, nobody else) that I learned at the Seed 32 years ago. (Still) Love you guys!

Why I oughtta...

When I was in the seed ....

Why we used to stand 20, no, 22, no 24 yeah 24 hours a day at attention, yeah that's it

Hi Guys!
I too regret not being able to get together while Nikki was in the area. But I was happy to get a chance to talk with her and share our experiences. I tried to get in to see what was left of my place in Pass Christian weekend before last and got turned away two days in a row. Marshall Law & they were recovering bodies back in my neighborhood. I did manage to get in this last saturday, I almost wish I hadn't. I thought I was prepared for the devastation, but it is like one of those things that you can be intellectually ready for but not emotionally ready to experience. The excavator & dump trucks were working my street when I pulled up, looking in all directions, not a house was standing... just piles of rubble, trees & refuse. My previously beautiful, shaded tree-lined streets with simple summer & vacation homes was now barren with 60 or 70% of those large beautiful trees gone. Where my house used to be were two large pieces of the roof, sitting on the ground about 20 feet from their original location. The brick walls looked like they had been blown out. Standing in the open area that was the dining room, living room and one of the bedrooms were some things were just laying there on the ground where they had been in the room, two bikes, my tool chests, some of my son's drum set... other things from the kitchen were flung askew in the yard, along with large pieces of two of my neighbor's homes. You could certainly say we were all in this together. I now have a pretty good idea of what a war zone looks like, many thanks to all who have kept all of us so affected by Katrina in your thoughts, prayers and assistance! Love you guys,

Chris

Its Chris Lewis, glad to see you found your way here, sorry I lost touch. I changed jobs about three years back & we stopped e-mailing. I lost my Mom last year so I don't get back to St Pete as often. The other seed kid at St Pete Catholic has been in / out of the site, but I still have not located Dave B********l. Drop me a private note if you would like, I have to apologize about using your last name in one of my earliest posts, I asked the Mod's to go back & edit (it's done).
Glad things are going well, you take care,

Chris
