I recall having to do one of these while working at the University of Minnesota Law Library around the Summer of 1989. We were very embarrassed doing it and most of us just mumbled rather than sang. Me too. I sure hope that video never surfaces. I have very little control over what surfaces and what stays hidden in my 224 613 Project which really got a lot of incentive when I traveled back to Reno, Nevada in the Summer of 1989 to the American Association of Law Libraries convention where I had my coming out as the WESTLAW cataloger. I has also brought back a lot of memories from the 2-24-1976 Michelle Mitchell murder, investigation, trial, appeals, etc. Some of my former co-workers from Information Access Company of Belmont, CA were also at the AALL Convention as they produced the Legal Resource Index. I had been flooded with so many memories that I turned down lunch with them because I had thought that I would not be able to contain my emotions about all that well if I tried to describe my various law school experiences while also being in Reno, Nevada. I had mentioned at Information Access Company my interest in the 2-24-1976 murder of Michelle Mitchell and this killing's investigation and the like and my interest in helping survivors/victims of crimes through access to practical information. I had discussed this with various people from 1976 onward since I started looking in libraries for practical information to help my fellow Earl Wooster High School students cope with the murder of their English teacher's daughter. I looked at the Washoe County Library's Central downtown library on February 28, 1976.

It seems that the video was remove. Anyways, sometimes it feels good to see similar video that reminds us of our old days.

Here it is. May have an ad in front of it. I am still doing the 224 613 Project and have been trying to get Hollywood involved since 1992. No body tells me anything though as I do not have an agent or lawyer. I am just a pesty victims/survivors' rights activist.

I was at the Petaluma Theater in Northern California around March 12, 1995 and one of the men behind me asked me "Did you see that?" when the scene leading up to 612 showed in the movie Outbreak. This was filmed in Northern CA and may have had some workers staying at the Red Lion Inn which was right across the fairway from where we lived in Rohnert Park, CA. I used to take my cocker spaniel Amber around the movie star trailers parked there. I never talked to anyone that I knew was a movie studio worker there but I sure spoke to anyone around there interested in me and my dog and our story. I was with my mother at the Petaluma Theater and we were not fast enough to track down the man who sat behind me with is male friend. 613 in my number in a 17 week study on stress on the unemployed I took part in at the University of California, San Francisco Health Sciences Campus in 1992-1993. I had researcher/interviewer Myra Young with whom I showed a lot of the documents on my struggle to help survivors/victims of crimes get access to practical information. After the 17 week study was over, she told me she thought I had a good cause.

I don't always get what you're saying, may I suggest if you could speak in general terms rather than detailed names and numbers. You mentioned a movie being filmed and walking around the trailers. I have a similar story.

In 1977 when I was living in Pensacola I had heard they were filming Jaws 2 on Navarre Beach, that's on a barrier island between Pensacola and Ft. Walton Beach. I knew a a helicopter pilot and he was the one who told me about the movie set, because he had gone out there to try to get a job flying a helicopter.

That weekend I drove out to Holiday Inn Navarre and parked and walked around. One whole wing of rooms, probably 50 or more had signs in the windows that said everything from wardrobe, to makeup, to costumes. The curtains were pushed back and when you looked into a room you would see racks of clothes or makeup chairs, etc. In the parking lot was a 10' high chain link fence with green canvas so you couldn't see into the lot it was surrounding. At the gate was a private security guard. I just went upstairs to the second level of the motel and got a perfect view of six sharks sitting on trailers, all but one covered with a tarp. I took some photos of the sharks.

Then I went into the lobby of the Holiday Inn, it was actually what they call a Holidome. There were bars, restaurants, swimming pools, etc all inside this sort of mall enclosure with the hotel rooms all facing inward going up several floors. I stood just inside the beachside doors looking down at the pool when a man behind me began walking past my shoulders holding his hands as he was framing a shot. He was telling another man he wanted the camera to move along where he was walking. After a few more photos and no sight of Roy Scheider or anyone else from the movie, we left.

The next year was 1978 and the film opened. It was not nearly as good as the original Jaws, but not as bad as the later 3 and 4 films were. What got my attention was the movie's opening scene and there was a high school band playing next to the pool and the camera came into the holidome filming the scene just the way a year earlier I heard, I guess it was the director, tell his assistant.

On a 1995 trip to Pensacola as I drove along Hwy 98 going west just past Ft. Walton Beach I saw the road to Navarre Beach was closed. I looked out a couple of miles to where the Holiday Inn stood, only to see it was just a skeleton of it's past self, you literally could look right through the building. The entire area was ravished a couple of months earlier by Hurricane Opal and sadly the Holiday Inn Navarre had to be demolisted and has never been rebuilt.
