I went to law school (1986-1989) at the University of Minnesota while working my way through law school at the Minneapolis Public Library downtown library my 2nd year and then at the University of MN Law Library part of my 2nd year and also during my 3rd year. Also worked as a Student Co-Director of the Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners (LAMP) Stillwater office along with now Judge Judy Tilsen as the other Co-Director.

Then stayed on after graduation from law school at the U of MN at the U of MN Law Library to work on cataloging all the computer files on WESTLAW as well as cataloging books in a dozen languages or so and doing some reference. I was also taking classes in Dutch, German, Russian, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese at the U of MN after law school graduation.

Did not have all that much time to see much of MN during law school with working and law school but did get to see a bit more after my 1989 graduation.

Have not been back to MN since 1991 though after getting through the perfect storm's affect on the Twin Cities in the late Fall of 1991. That was some snowstorm in 1991. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Blizzard

Also started my massive international project to help survivors of various kinds of crimes in February 1991 while still working at the University of MN Law Library but with taking a lot of misteps during that year as to how to proceed with this. There was a lot of trial and error involved.
