Jan Kokochak: Ex-Santa Claus Stand-in?
The July of 2007, Jan Kokochak (Talk Host) talked about TOTV at a Villages Computer Club meeting. I would often see 2-24 in their meetings and it dawned on me that they are referencing Steve Jobs and his birthday. I had had a hope that my work on survivors rights/victims rights had been more successful and they were referencing my birthday of 2-24 and the murder of Michelle Mitchell on 2-24 in 1976 in Reno, Nevada that drew me to force the issue of a niche in practical information for survivors of crimes as well as victims accessible through libraries while I was an insider with some of the most powerful law librarians in the US in 1989-1991. I knew though pretty much for certain they were referencing Steve Jobs at the Villages Computer Club or it was just a co-incidence as patterns happen all the time with no meaning or intent of a meaning.
Anyway, I figured after all the problems like a virulent troll of five years or so I had with Findlaw and pushing this cause on it for years (2001-2006) , I would give another message board a try mainly because of how well Jan Kokochak sold it to the Villages Computer Club that July 2007 meeting.
I also promised myself I would try to post about everything else as well so as not to bore people with some cause or another.
As with Findlaw, I also hoped that people from different parts of the country would look at some of my messages and become interested in the work I had been doing for survivors' of crimes with respect to libraries and the Internet and access to practical information.
I did have an agenda with some of my postings. The Michelle Mitchell murder of 2-24 (1976) as well as a number of others (the Gypsy Hills murders) in February 1976 are again under investigation

My work though was more about daily crimes that might occur to people who might find themselves needing practical information related to survivors' rights such as those involved with domestic violence, burglaries, preventing suicides, abuse of power by employers, etc. I still believe that librarians should aggressively try to get any and all information they can- in a very easy to use format-- into their libraries or accessible through the web-sites. This is a task that changes as criminals adapt to create new kinds of survivors of crimes.
