History

The organization got its beginning after Bob Quaine fulfill his civic duty of serving as a juror on a Circuit Court case of the murder of a woman, the mother of three young children.

The accused has been convicted twice of first degree murderer of the victim. For the past 23 years he has been sitting on death row in the Florida State Prison in Stark Florida. After all these years his attorneys filed for another trial that is set for January 20th, 2009.

During the next ten years while still working the Bob and wife with the help of two volunteers, did a search for their hand signals that would not conflict with other hand signals internationally.

In January 1997 a non-profit Florida Corporation was formed as Kidnapped and Hostage, Inc, the IRS issued a 501 (c) (3) non-profit Tax Deductible to the organization. The same year the State of Florida Issued the organization a Consumer's Certificate of Exemption, also the State of Florida issued license CH7637 to solicitation of contributions.

For the next three years the survival signals were introduced in Florida and in several other states to schools, the general public and to some fifty local and national organizations.

IN JANUARY 2000 THE PROGRAM AND ACTIVITIES WERE INTERRUPTED DO TO ILLNESS.

From January 2000 through 2004 the program was not fully attended to by the Quaine's due to illness of the co-founder.

At that time my wife Marie became very ill and took most of our time and money, and we were mostly away from PAAAS for time out for Marie, the most important part of my life.

On July 28th 2003 we lost our Dear Marie Quaine, Co-Founder of the program to a very long battle with Cancer, she is greatly missed. Her never tiring efforts and happy loving smile will always shine in our hearts.

I promised Marie in her last months and days that I would put all my efforts in teaching the population of the United States the proactive PAAAS Self Survival Signals.


God Bless Her
Bob
