She sees my work on Facebook where the real action is and where I can just delete any posts I do not like on my Facebook page. Finally found some place where I have control of the message. She could be lurking on here. I have met several lurkers on TOTV who like my work and some are from Minnesota. The Twin Cities play a very important role in my auto-biography because that is where I discovered just how deep the problem with dealing with survivors/victims of crimes is at our nation's law schools and their law libraries and among the people who work in them. |

I have often tried to get other Sheriffs' Office and public libraries to look at many other web-sites around the country to improve their own. I really like how this one gives Safety Tips-- Washoe County Sheriff's Office - Northern Nevada's Full Service Law Enforcement Agency I have family members in Reno, Nevada as well as Las Vegas, Nevada so keep track of what is available for them. I communicate with police organizations rather often even if these are usually very one sided. It is all about creating an on-going open dialog between victim/witness assistance providers and librarians of all kinds as well as with many other people. A lot of this is very creative crowd sourcing with the help of the many friends I have made since 1991. What is Crowdsourcing? | Crowdsourcing Week |

Our dog Amber whom I used to walk around the movie production trailers at the Red Lion Inn in Rohnert Park, CA hoping to visit with some of these movie people who were filming movies in Santa Rosa, Bodega Bay and points north. My parents lived 300 feet from where these movie production trailers were from 1986-1996. I visited while not at the U of MN Law School/Library or after I had to return home in November of 1991 after spending my savings on getting out about 500 letter to US State Governors, US Senators, US Representatives, Association leaders, Members of the US Supreme Court, Law School Deans, and many others. I did get maybe 60 responses. The start of what would become my 224 613 Project is in those sent and received letters including one from the Law Librarian of Congress, M. Kathleen Price. What do you think I wanted to talk to these movie production people about? Avoiding the duck and goose poop on the golf course was one of these but the other was simply my life story dating from 2-25-1976. And there are very creative means of getting a story around. Movie people do have e-mail addresses and Facebook pages now too. |

Some community's resources for survivors/victims are quite good. Some not so much. And there seems to always be room for improvement even if some of the librarians I have met since the mid 1970s can be very territorial as can be web-masters or web-site designers. |

Then 26 years and counting of work on this Project. Started to see some respect for it from law librarians around 2000 but still hard to do it from outside the Law Librarianship profession even if I also do not have to deal with all the Academic Politics involved and all their committees, meetings and the like. They have committees to change light bulbs in the foyer. And I did volunteer at two public libraries in Palm Harbor, FL., for 10-14 hours a week in 2000-2003. The Director Gene Coppola was a real jerk but did finally get around to actually putting stuff on his library-- Palm Harbor Library's-- website that will help victims/survivors of domestic violence. Had been trying to get my foot in the door for working in a library in a paid position but never got anywhere in the Tampa Bay area despite numerous job interviews many of these actually at libraries controlled by Gene Coppola. All this is a hobby. Something I do out of love and a desire to help people who really need it. I did get the State of Nevada to forgive a stipend grant. In September 2000, they forgave a student loan debt for my MA from the U of Denver -- in the form of working in the State of Nevada as a Librarian-- for this work related to libraries even though I did it from Minnesota, California, Illinois and Florida in the 1990s. |

Just Ignore what the jerks might say on this thread. I just have put a group of these people on my Ignore List but they continue to post stuff against me even though I am trying to no longer even look at these. Not worth my time.
Oh. Take a close look at the movies Suicide Squad, Focus, Passengers, The Nice Guys, Deadpool and especially The Shallows. The Shallows (2016) - Rotten Tomatoes Love that movie The Shallows. She really conquers her fears of that Great White Shark. I got a very nice Private Message from a French actress with a black belt last summer on Facebook asked me in French if I would allow them to be part of my thing. I said yes in English. I did win the Outstanding Reader of French award at the University of Nevada, Reno around 1980 but that was 37 years or so ago. Had to look up the word she used for "thing" as I might have been slang from Paris. The French actress has some movies coming out soon and knows some actors with connections to the Villages. These celebrities do care about members of their movies, shows, concerts, sports' performance, etc. I remember sending an awful lot of Facebook messages to some ballet dancers in Rio last year. Where there's a way; there's a will. Had a sister-in-law who grew up in Brazil. Pain in my ass in many classes at the University of Nevada, Reno but my older brother fell in love with her much to my surprise. |

Put me on your "ignore list" but you really need to snap out of it. Everyone else wishes to coddle you because they treat you like a retarded child instead of the man you are supposed to be. Sorry, if I treat you like the adult you are supposed to be. |
