I had trouble seeing eye-to-eye with the Director of one of these libraries who insisted they had a link when his reference librarians and I told him otherwise. My fight for the FL Victim Services Directory was state-wide back in 2000 through 2007 or so.
I was not about to just agree with this Director that there was a link to the Florida Victim Services Directory Victim Services Directory when anyone with a computer could see that there was not. Probably would have made mine and my parents' life a lot easier in Palm Harbor if I had just agreed with this Chairman of the Palm Harbor Board of Commerce back around then.
I did continue fighting for a link to the Florida Victim Services Directory from the Villages' area libraries when we moved to the Villages in 2005. Gary Corsair, a Villages Daily Sun reporter, wrote a short piece about my efforts with Villages' area libraries. The article is from Memorial Day weekend in May 2007.
I have managed to avoid being homeless but finding any kind of work has been very difficult mainly because of my Internet presence.
