Got a magazine recently about support for the U of MN Law School which listed me as Class of 1989 and having donated 10 times which NOTHING but sounds right. I often used certain numbers if it allowed me to donate $2.24 or $6.13 to them especially if I were doing so during a phone call from one of their law students. It usually would get a laugh.

My real birthday is 2-24 and I had become very interested in helping people dragged into the legal system without their consent like I and my fellow Earl Wooster HS students had been following the 2-24-1976 murder of my then Earl Wooster High School remedial English teacher's daughter near the University of Nevada, Reno campus. She was a nursing student there. I had gone into Reno, Nevada area libraries looking for stuff to help myself and my fellow students cope with the investigation and found next to NOTHING. 613 was a number I had in a 17 or so week study on stress on the unemployed done by the U of CA San Francisco Health Sciences Campus in late 1992 early 1993. I had forced the issue after the summer law librarian convention in 1989 in Reno, Nevada where I had kind of been "made" by very good connections to the powers that were in law librarianship in 1989. These powers can also work against you as I found out.

But I kind of think that various law students at the U of MN and elsewhere might have found out about this especially given how prone to gossip I found law students were.

That is partially why NOTHING is so fun. Hopefully 2024 will be exciting. I hope NOTHING keeps going.

I had earned a MA in Librarianship and Information Management from the U of Denver in May of 1984 and two B.A. degrees from the University of Nevada, Reno before that in 1980 and 1981. Think these were in December and May and the first was Philosophy and the 2nd in History with a Minor in Religious Studies.
