With all of those letters after your degree I'm hoping you are their caregiver, If not why are you still living with your parents???

Some of us enjoy the empty nest life.

There is a Brain Injury support group locally!
Yea. Maybe I should join a brain injury group. :joke:

I have a BA in Philosophy and a BA in History from the University of Nevada, Reno. 1980, 1981. A MA in Librarianship and Information Management from Denver University, 1984 and a JD (law degree) from the University of Minnesota (1989).

I had worked under a Law Library Director at the U of MN Law School, M. Kathleen Price, who would later become Law Librarian of Congress around 1990. I wrote the Librarian of Congress around 1992 about a niche I saw in materials for survivors of crimes in libraries of all types. The Law Librarian of Congress, M. Kathleen Price, wrote me back in a letter dated August 5, 1992, that she could see nothing wrong with my issue of a niche in victims' rights information, but that it would take ALL of the law libraries in the US (or at least many of them) to meet this need. The Law Librarian of Congress also sent me a bibliography (a list of books and other stuff) on victims' rights that were in the Library of Congress. There were not that many practical materials for victims of crimes in the Library of Congress. I have tried to get politicians like the Clintons, for instance, as well as the Bushes interested in doing something about making sure victims of crimes have access to practical information. I had used 2 2 4 and 6 1 3 to describe why I had developed this interest and the hurdles I had faced from 1993 onward in my many communications to various politicians, interest groups, and the like.

Check for yourself. There is a FL Victim Services Directory http://myfloridalegal.com/directory which is a very practical tool for survivors of crimes to have at their fingertips. I have been trying to hook up this Directory to library web-sites all over Florida since 2000. I still have not been able to get this link at either Sumter or Marion County Library systems. The last I looked anyway. http://sumtercountyfl.gov/libraries/links.htm http://www.marioncountyfl.org/librar...earchTools.htm

Lake County Library system got one of these links within a few days (I think) of my making a request. http://lakeline.lib.fl.us/internet_d...oryCategory=24

I had to go through a lawsuit threat and a blacklist from volunteering threat from the Palm Harbor Library General Counsel (in a letter dated March 2, 2004) before they got a working link to the FL Victim Services Directory at Palm Harbor Library http://www.palmharborlibrary.org/links/florida.htm around March 15, 2004 .I got a link for this Directory or close to it in 2004 anyway at Palm Harbor's other public library East Lake County Library http://www.eastlakelibrary.org/ELCL/links.htm in mid June of 2004.

This was after I had donated 1400 hours as a volunteer to Palm Harbor's two public libraries from 2000 through 2003 in an attempt to give my parents an empty nest by getting my foot in the door in the libraries around Tampa Bay.
