Wow! I was a seedling from way back (+ 30 years ago) and I just was thinking of the "old days" recently. I went to the Seed on (Friday) April 13th 1973 when I was 14 while I was a freshman at Cooper City High School and the Seed was on State Road 84.
Aside from hating the long, boring days - the only real lasting side effects I still have is my absolute refusal to eat either Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches or Bologna & Cheese sandwiches!!! I still don't like Lemon Joy dishwashing soap as that is what I had to wash the dishes with at my oldcomer's house before I got to go home. The funny thing is that once I broke away from the Seed, I spent my Junior & Senior years pretty much stoned all the time!
The thing that stands out the most is when I was an oldtimer, they called a load of us back to sing (America the Beautiful?) at a Dolphin's halftime show at the Orange Bowl. We had to practice running back & forth between the front of the property on 84 to the fenced in area - how no one got hurt I'll never know because I do remember one girl fell and by the grace of God, everyone was able to jump over her.
You know the what finally got me away from drugs and being a habitual "druggie" was when I was in my early 20's and my then boyfriend got busted with a ton of 'ludes. I was not at his house that night so I wasn't arrested as well, but that was close enough for me! I wouldn't even go near dope for years until I found coke...
Now, all those 'bad' habits are just memories with (Thank God) no police record to remind me.
If any of the CCHS seedling from that time period remember me, please e-mail me.
See ya!!!
