NOTHING but had to wait for AAA to come start a car that sounded like a machine gun when I tried to start it. He -- worker from Kandy's Towing-- replaced the battery at a discount and I am now off and running.

In the 1990s, I wrote a bunch of AAA state chapter heads to see what they would like to see in their local libraries for AAA members who might be the victims/survivors of crimes. Did this when I was using a lot of stamps doing stuff via the Post Office.

I would reduce the size of copies of letters I had received and send a bunch of them so that the person or institution I was writing could get an idea of what I was trying to do.

I had been thinking about AAA when waiting for Kandy Towing's to arrive.

Some of the AAA State chapters did reply. I do remember one from California which I had copied and reduced and re-copied a number of times. Then sent out with reductions of dozens of other received letters.

Connected to automobile driving, I had had a lot of interactions with Mothers Against Drunk Driving as they were into the same kind of grass roots community building networks I had tried to get developed. And not for NOTHING.

This was, of course, part of my 224 613 Project which was simply just my applying collection development techniques I had been taught while getting my MA at the University of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management. Class of May 1984.
