Not a wackadoodle response that is soon coming, "while i was getting my 9th university degree in Denver, I met a lovely dominican , while working in the University library, she needed help getting a book on the higher shelf, I told her about my 624 project and she really took an interest blah, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, , blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, , blah, blah, blah, ..... ad nauseam"
What a load of crap.

I supervised a woman law student from China while working at the U of MN Law Library named Joy for a year or more, had a Korean MD roommate for nine months named Dr. Kim who now teaches pharmacology at Yonsei U in Seoul, ate meals with various international students like two Spanish ladies from Bilbao along with some people from South America, had a best friend of an Iraqi Cataloging Librarian from the U of Mosul, Mahmood, while at the U of Denver and kept on a correspondence with him for two years, etc. Lived next to a group of South Americans in Belmont, CA while working for Information Access Company. Had a neighbor from Guam who was gay and had to fight off his advances. Also in Belmont.

You think I would talk about my 224 613 Project with someone was helping to find a book in a library? How colossally stupid! I do and have written immigrant groups though about what kind of practical information needs they have if they become survivors/victims of crimes that could be met by libraries.

Met Cesar Chavez while at the U of MN Law School who had very extensive experience with immigrants.

Met a survivor of one of the concentration camps from WWII. This was a few years ago in the Villages at the dog park. He used to give speeches at the Temple up the road from Southern Trace Shopping Center. He has a cute dog.
