These view numbers are nothing but surprising. Someone from the NY State Department of Education had called our house the last time this thread had a high view count a few months ago. Just the regular scam callers today. The "do you remembaa" lady has an interesting accent but I never called her even though she calls almost every day saying I did. I rarely use the phone when talking about this stuff.

Happy Birthday this March 21, 2025 to Gary Oldman.

Almost a 613. One of the two numbers along with 224 I have been using since late 1992 with my push to improve resources accessible in or through libraries for people pulled into the legal system.
My interviewer at the University of California San Francisco Medical Campus after I had completed all the tasks had said that what I was doing was quite worthwhile. I was subject 613 in a study on stress on the unemployed. It was a 17 week study from late 1992 through the first few months of 1993.
Around mid -August of 2020 my Mom had a big growth on her leg about the size of a grape. The person she saw recommended that we go down to the Brownwood area medical building to have someone look at it. While we were there I heard a lot of laughter as the lady we went to see was coming in. She was very professional and funny and removed the half of the grape that was sticking out and said she would find my Mom the best plastic surgeon in the area.


They did find my Mom an excellent plastic surgeon and while we were walking to the room that the surgery would take place some of the staff stood in the hallway. I was quite elated that perhaps all my work on the 224 613 Project had made some inroads. I could not think of what else this could be. And I had been using these two numbers often in my correspondence since mid -1993.

This is the first post of this Nothing thread. Started on the first day of 2018. The first one, if memory serves, was closed probably because of all the extensive cyberbullying on there. I still despise bullies. I remember when I was being threatened with a knife in Junior High in Reno, Nevada a Paiute leader even then had spoken to the kid who had been threatening me. We handled it. I did not know if the school 's adults had even heard about it. The last I looked that Paiute leader is still doing his stuff. Still leading.


I was kind of friendly with the junior high bully when we were both in high school at Earl Wooster High School. I had a class on Native American history with him in which I discussed the Fetterman fight with the class. And the teacher took us to various movies like Little Big Man, A Man Called Horse and maybe Tell Them Willie Boy Was Here.

Check the Washoe County Sheriff's Office website's Staying Safe links. Washoe County Sheriff's Office Really good work IMHO. It is in the "Protect Myself " section in the checkerboard of options.Washoe County covers Reno, Nevada and points north.

If your home town has some good links to various victims/witness and other Staying Safe kind of links. Feel free to help and not for Nothing.

The State of Nevada's WICHE chapter had forgiven my Stipend Grant after I had sent them a bunch of correspondence in 2000 about how my work would impact the people of Nevada. WICHE is the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. They forgave my loan in September of 2000. I had used the Stipend Grant to help pay for some of my expenses while getting my MA at the University of Denver in 1983-1984. Part of my 224 613 Project. I had been working three jobs at one point during the year I was in Denver. A really beautiful city when not smoggy.


I also hooked up with the girl next door. She had lived very close to us just outside of Milwaukee when we were there but we had then moved to Reno. She was planning on getting a MA in Librarianship and wanted to pick my brain while I was there. She was working just outside Denver. She did get a MA in Librarianship at the U of WI and married a lawyer in MA.

I was looking for materials while I was in Denver that would help victims/witnesses of crime deal with their circumstances and found next to nothing useful. I had been doing that in almost every place I visited after having been drawn into the Michelle Mitchell murder investigation pretty much on 2-25-1976. The day after she had been murdered near the University of Nevada, Reno on 2-24-1976. Found very little of use at the huge U of MN Law Library from 1986-1991.

They "solved" the Michelle Mitchell murder around 1979 but rushed to judgment because a mentally ill woman made a false confession to get a better room in her mental hospital in Louisiana. They finally got the right person in Rodney Halbower in 2014 following a DNA test on a cigarette that they had bagged back in 1976 at the scene of the crime. What a mess. Getting the wrong person allows the real criminal to keep on doing his or her dirty work. Halbower is a serial killer connected to the San Francisco Bay area and other places. Paula Zahn did a pretty good program on the events. Season 21. Episode 1. On the Case. "Crime and Injustice". And not for Nothing.

A Reno, Nevada cop or maybe a Washoe County one had come to talk to our Earl Wooster High School class around March or April of 1976. It probably would have been better if he had not come as he started telling us about Thomas Lee Bean who had been at Wooster around 1963 and had received world- wide horror after murdering British Olympic skier Sonja McCaskie. The manner of the murder and how the tabloids handled it forced quite a bit of these publications to change how they dealt with these stories.


The effect of this did make us suspect one another rather than uniting us. The murder of Michelle was on my birthday of 2-24 so people knew where I was that night. I was home opening presents.

I went on the You Grew Up or Lived in Reno, Nevada in the 1960 and 1970s group on Facebook to reconnect with some people and one of these was an ex-cellmate of Thomas Lee Bean. He described Bean as being a gentle, sweet and caring man. He avoided the death penalty in 1972 after some kind of case. Furman vs. Georgia. Looks like a Nevada 1970 case removed the death penalty as an option for juveniles.


Nothing but many of us had a hard time dealing with this.


There does seem to be a lot of help now for people pulled into the legal system. Victimology has come a very long way.
