Actually, they could make money off of this Project rather easily. They just have to want to get involved with it.
I have tried to get Hollywood, Wall Street, and Madison Avenue involved with this. And I am pretty certain that they are involved with it. Remember that I have been at this for 25.75 years starting when I was still working at the University of Minnesota Law Library. Then living in Rohnert Park, CA; Itasca, IL; Palm Harbor, FL., and now the Villages for the past 11 years.
I had to fight off a hostile takeover of a sort of my 224 613 Project from the Palm Harbor Library Director when I volunteered there for three years in 2000-2003. I could not wait to get out of Dodge-- Palm Harbor-- and move to the Villages in June of 2005.
This is an international effort of mine but involves many people. Maybe, it is the shock of the new with people just not getting it. I was in DC in May 2015 and it seemed some people --strangers-- knew about my efforts. Just a feeling though and I have nothing to document that. I do try to document stuff as much as I can as I was trained to do at the University of Minnesota Law School where I graduated in May 1989. Also have a MA in Librarianship from the University of Denver. Class of May 1984. And two BAs from the University of Nevada, Reno. (Classes of Dec. 1980, May 1981).
