The Kentucky State Office of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.) was one of the first victim/witness assistance providers which answered my call to action around 1992 via a letter. This was about respect for the needs of survivors/victims of crimes of a practical nature in libraries of all kinds and how these are treated in law schools and their libraries. My 224 613 Project in other words.

I started sharing these letters by copying them, reducing them in size and recopying them all throughout the 1990s. These I would send to librarians, lawyers, physicians, nurses, law professors, and many others including celebrities and even movie studios.

Various M.A.D.D. chapters helped me over the years in other US states and I would put them in my chains of e-mail addresses when I was sending out hundreds of e-mails each day from 1999 through 2005 or so. I changed tactics after moving to the Villages trying to find a good medium and discovered TOTV. And then Facebook!!!

I am still thinking very creatively of how to address this continuing problem as it changes with new technologies and survivors/victims connected to changing types of crimes and the criminals committing them.
