Was it Cliff N. who was started over? I used to live with him. He was sort of a senior guy, sort of semi-staff, but no longer led raps of any sort. And Cookie also was started over while I was there, after being senior staff for years - Cookie, Lybbi and Ginger (along with Evy) were the heart of things. I remember Cookie, with her eyes red from crying, sitting on the front row. It was unbelievable! I never knew what she had done.
Bob Ch--k, a big, funny guy who was a jr. staff member (I lived with him at Plantation Apts.), just disappeared one day.
Alex, who was on jr. staff in Cleveland, never heard of him again once we moved to Florida. His family owned restaurants and used to donate food and hire kids. Where he went, no idea.
My oldcomeer went AWOL once, and came back. Apparently, he had fallen in love. He wasn't started over, but sort of hang-dog in the group for weeks.
I lived with Ray K., when he fell in love/had an affair with Laura. Both were former staff members, with that kind of status. Ray left the Seed, and went sort of nuts; used to graffiti and yell at the seed as he drove by.
"That's not important." You were supposed to just block it out of your mind. As a result, you never know who was in or out, or what anyone's status was. Everyone lived in fear of being 'demoted' or started over, and everyone contstantly was aware of what Art's reaction was, or Lybbi's.
There have been postings here of people who were kicked out for a variety of reasons - including JU![ This Message was edited by: cleveland on 2005-08-18 08:37 ]
