I remember one about the first Seedlings. I assume he was talking about the Andrews bldg, but maybe some other. Said he hired a small construction crew to get the place ready and, wouldn't ya know it, they all were druggies, every las one of `em. So he sat them down and fed them beans and crackers or some such, thereby creating the very first Group made up entirely of adult newcomers.
I find the renegade, 13th stepping asshole on the beach story a whole lot more plausible myself.
