Joseph O'Neil
Active in communit y causes
On July 6, 1990, Joseph O'Neil died
from complications of Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome. During his final
days, he was surrounded by his family and
friends and embraced by the loving, caring
staff at the Hospice Mission Hill. For
those of us who knew him, this loss is
great. For those who didn't, this is who
he was:
Joe was a champion of many causes always caring, always involved. We will
never know what more he would have accomplished had his life not been cut so
short.
Joe was a contributor. He worked for
the civil rights of gays, lesbians, women
and minorities, always first to pick up a
banner.
While a student at U-Mass Boston, he
worked as a peer counselor at the Human
Sexuality Center and at Samaritans Suicide Prevention Hot Line. While living in
New York City, he was one of the founding members of Samaritans staff and
worked for the Gay Men's Health Crisis
Center during its early planning.
Never judgmental, Joe was a gracious
confidant for anyone who needed him to
listen.
As lover of 12 years to Jim Treknler,
who passed from AIDS three years ago,
Joe never left his side.

a culinary artist and master
chef for several Philadelphia
ar ea restaurants and cafes,
died on April 19 at Pennsylvania Hospital. Mr. Oreski was
also known for h is dried flower
arrangements, watercolor and
oil canvas paintings and his
skills as a decorator . Mr.
Oreski and his companion of
13 years, Roland W. Carney,
moved to Merchantville in
1987 . They had formerly lived
in Collingswood and Philadelphia.
"He made the greatest
prime rib with all those little
secret spices and herbs he put
on it before he baked it," said
Peter Lamlein, owner and chef
at Overtures where Mr. Oreski
worked during 1990and 1991.
He was also a chefat the Backstage Restaurant during the
same time. "We still use a secret sauce he created for vegetable&-it gives an extra little
flavor to them."
Since 1978 when he was
only 20 years old, Mr. Oreski
was the chef at a succession of
restaurants including Cafe
Lafitte, Cafe Warsaw, the
formerEquusCafeandUncles
Restaurant . He had also
worked as a private chef for a
Main Line family and as a
seasonal privatechefinMaine.
Mr. Oreski was a real gentleman-"even-tempered ...and
with a fabulous sense of humor," Lamlein said.
Mr.Oreskileamedtherestaurant business from the bottom upstarting with a restaurant his family had owned for
a short time. He grew up in
SkippackandK.ingofPrussia .
But his first restaurant job in
Philadelphia was with the
former Fruit Lady on Walnut
near Rittenhouse, said his
companion Roland W. Carney.
In addition to his prime rib,
Mr. Oreski was known for bis
wonderful pates, his Caesar
salad, his pork dishes and (or
Mushrooms Oreski. His culinary creations "ranged from
Eastern European to any type
of nouvelle cuisine," Camey
said. "His favorite herbs were
garlic and thyme. He was very
observant and would take
things [he learned] and do
them his way."
Mr. Oreski loved nature
and loved gardening-particularly raising his own fresn
herbs and spices, Carney said
"That's why we moved to New
Jersey."
His artistry ranged from a
passion for dried flower arrangements to canvas paintings tointeriordecorating. His
dried flower arrangements
had their own following and
sold as quickly as his pates .
"It was nothing for him to
whip up a set of drapes to
match an oriental
Carney said . "He

"Fine music,
and fine living ittere

Carney, who owns ano operat.es Coco Hair Design near
Rittenhouse square . Mr.
Oreski was a silent partner in
the business.
"He loved tall women with
deep raspy voices," recalled
Carney. His favorite actresses
were Colleen Dewhurt and
Candace Bergen.
"He was delightful, arrogant, eccentric, wonderful and
charming as a host. He was
unique,"Carneysaid.Heloved

Jan. 23, 1940-May 11, 1993
On May 11, about l a.m., our friend
and brother, Doug Oulette died,
another bit of
collateral dam·
._ a casualty cl
the plague.
He waa a
seeker after the
real, irascible
aad loving, con-
ilundin& delighting, overwhelm·
ing his friends.
Doug pursued
truth and beauty
with the lust of an ancient philosopher.
He was born, grew up, and schooled in
Main~ spent fiw years in the Air Force,
then eac:aped to San Franciaco in '67,
where he celebrated a life that vanished
after only 53 years.
Doug worked hard and with w,ry little thanks. for over 20 years in the insurance business and wanted to die in
his own bed, in his own home, in the •
company of his buddies Joe and John
and his cat, Frankie. He died instead in
a tiny room at Kaiser Hospital, clutching an oxygen mask.
If he's been re-born as a baby,
somewhere we can only hope that the
next life will be easier. If he's around us
in the air, like the constant atoms, we'd
like to say, "hello.'' A n d ~
There's no tombston~ but Doug
thought this would look good on his. A
parody of something Oacar Wtldeoace
said: "If this is the ~ God tmats his
children, he shouldn't be allm,,ed to
have any."
Our friend was a tough old bird who
tried hard to see past all the nonsense.
He's survived his friends, his cat. and his
mother. We can only remember him
now. 'f'

'Only-m death' could these-parentsClaim son
by Florence Rush
My son's lover, Ron, died of AIDS at
age 31 in June 1990. My son Matthew,
39, died of the same disease six weeks
later. Ron's parents, whose lives are guided by a fundamentalist church, never accepted Ron's homosexuality or that Matt
and Ron were devoted companions. My
open Zener to Ron's parents follows.
To the parents of my son's lover:
Neither of you were there for your
son's long, tonnented illness. You turned
your back on him. Dad, you once told me
that Ron chose this lifestyle - meaning
that AIDS was the deserved punishment
for Ron's homosexuality. That Ron chose
to be Gay is debatable; many feel sexual
orientation is inborn. But that AIDS was
his punishment ... never! The agonies he
suffered were no more ordained than
those you suffered from your painful
spinal affliction. What Ron consciously
did choose was to love my son.
It's a pity neither of you were there to
bask in their love. What a pity you never
took pride in Ron's passion for ~ his
kindness and creativity. It most certainly
1s a pity you were not there to see your
son, a Christian, and my son, a Jew, celebrate Hanukkah, Chrisbnas, Easter, and
Passover together in harmony.
Where were you when your son, interror, learned that he had AIDS? When he
was hospitalized with pneumonia? When
his body was racked with violent chills, a
fever of over 104 and 105, and throbbing
headaches? When he had to tolerate
painful biopsies, a surgica11y inserted
catheter, and intravenous medication to
prevent blindness?
I was there.
I was there to hold him tight when
spasms threatened to throw him out of
bed, to apply ice packs to his burning
body, to get him to and from doctors and
hospitals, and to arranse for someone to
care for him when I had to attend to my
own sick son. I was there to get his tax
form completed, to help him pay his bills,
fill out insurance claims, and deal with
other necessary chores when he could
barely hold up his head.
Three weeks before he died, you both
appeared. Ron was paralyzed from the
waist down; the moment he saw you, he
cried with wrenching sobs. Neither of
you shed a tear, you talked cheerfully of
traffic problems, blooming ai.aleas, your
new mobile home, and grandchildren.
Later when I asked for help, Dad, you explained that although you were retired,
you had household tasks like cutting the
grass. Morn, you declined because you
were looking after your elderly mother
(who is about my age). When I described
the difficulty in caring for two sick men,
Dad suggested that Ron be put in the hospital. But Ron hated the hospital and
begged to be allowed to die at home. I
pressed for financial assistance. This time
you responded quickly, and conveniently
you recognized for the first time the relationship between our children.
"Matthew is financially responsible for
Ron because they are like a married couple," you said.
You rejected Ron from the moment he
told you he was Gay, ignored him when
he became ill, and appeared only when he
was dying. You arrived to save his soul.
Ron always identified as Christian and
asked for a Christian family burial.
Matthew respected his wishes and notified you of his death. You sent for his
body and arranged for his funeral.
Matthew, sick as he was, mustered up his
strength to attend Ron's funeral.
The pastor you selected to conduct the
service knew nothing about Ron. Neither
of you bothered to instruct him to recognize Ron's artistic talent, that he had put
himself through graduate school for art
Ron was paralyzed
from the waist
down; the moment
he saw you, he
cried with
wrenching sobs.
Neither of you
shed a tear ...
and design, that he held a respected job in
a prestigious advertising fimi, and that he
had many friends and work associates
who loved him dearly. Before the service,
Matthew asked the pastor to acknowledge
his love for Ron, their long relationship
and his loss. This man of God would not
even mention Matthew's name. His contempt for your dead son and my dying
son was hardly disguised when he crassly
requested of those in attendance, "You
who wish to be saved by Jesus raise your
.
hand."
we prepared for the trip home, the
As
pastor who had earlier ignored Matthew
approached him to try to convert him to
his brand of Christianity. Matthew looked
the man in the face and said, "I am of the
Jewish faith and have no intention of
changing. Ron was of the Christian faith
and he never had any intention of changing. This was never a problem between
us. I don't understand why it should be a
problem for you."
Soon after the funeral, you wrote to
Matthew: Just a note to say hi and we're
praying for -you. It was a hot weeken d
and all the children and grandchildren
were here swimming. I am including a
DAILY BREAD booklet that we all read
every day and I thought you might join
us. The Lord will give you strength. I
know nothing would make Ron happier
than for you to accept Jesus as your savior so that you could be with him in heaven and with all of us. If Ron could talk to
you he would say that Jesus is the answer. It was signed "Mom and Dad" with
a happy face.
Ron never asked Matthew to accept
Jesus as his savior or to read your fundamentalist booklet You were never able to
tum Ron away from Matthew when he
was alive, but when his will, conviction,
and strength were no longer a barrier, you
arrived to save his soul. You preferred
Ron's lifeless body to your living, courageous son. Only in death could you claim
him; while at it, you attempted to add
Matthew to your collection.
How many souls have you saved this
week, this month, this year? Jesus ~ .
"Judge not that ye may not be judged.
For with that judgment, ye shall be
judged and with what measure ye mete, it
sha11 be measured to you again"
(Matthew 7:2). How will you meet your
maker? Will you be forgiven for the way
you judged and abandoned your son?
Where there is a heaven, there is also a
hel1. Frankly, I am not sure where either
of you will eventually be located.

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

brother, Judd.
Born deaf and
gay, he had obstacles to overcome from the
very beginning.
And, in spite of
those obstacles, he was a joyful, special
person, meeting Ii fe on its own terms.
As a child in Southern California,
Mark loved two things- animals and
cars. At h_is death he left behind two
beloved black cats who miss him very
much. Mark was very close to his
grandmother, who always drove
Cadillacs. Perhaps this was the source
of his sometimes overwhelming passion for that brand of car. His grandmother was hard of hearing, sharing
with him that isolation from the world
of sound.
Mark has been a client of Deaf AIDS
Center and UCSF Center on Deafness.
We grieve today not only the loss of
Mark to AIDS, but the fact that such
a disease that takes away life so unfairly and with such finality. The
young no longer have second chances.
They must be born wise and be absolutely accurate in their decision making, or they risk what Mark unknowingly risked. 'f

But Nureyev persevered.
He studied traditional Russian folk dance at the Ouafa
School until 1955, then
moved to Leningrad, where
he was enrolled in the Vaganova School of the Kirov
Theater until 1958.
He was the lead male
dancer with the Kirov Ballet
until 1961, when he made a
dramatic run for freedom in
a Paris airport.
While sipping coffee with
the other dancers minutes
before he was to board a
plane to Moscow, Nureyev
made his split-second deci·
sion to defect.
Six Soviet guards tried to
block his way, but he managed to reach a French po·
liceman, shouting "Protect
me!"
He was whisked away to
the French Interior Ministry
and granted political asylum. He became a naturalized ~ustrian citizen in 1982.
RUDOLF NUREYEV
The Soviet newspaper Iz.
vestia called him ..a traitor to
Soviet art and h1s country."
Nureyev joined the Grand
Ballet du Marquis de Cuevas
in Paris, and in November
1961 made his first appearance with Margot Fonteyn
at the Royal Ballet in London. The audience's hysteri·
cal ovation lasted longer
than the eight-minute dance.
One newspaper said Nureyev "stunned the audience
with what was probably the
finest piece of male dancing
seen on the Covent Garden
stage in this generation."
Nureyev danced with the
Royal Ballet until the early
1980s, delighting audiences
with his magnetism and graceful athleticism.
Although notorious for his
post-performance celebrations, he attributed his professional longevity to the
Spartan diet he would wash
down with gallons of tea.
Nureyev appeared in several films including "Rome
and Juliet," "Swan Lake,""
Am a Dancer.'' "Don Quixote" and "Exposed." H
played the title role in "Va
lentino" as the silent film
star, another celebrated Rudolf.
In 1989 he also toured the
United States in a revival ot
the musical "The King and
l."

LONDON - Britain's tailor to
the stars, Tommy Nutter, whose
-
customers included the Beatles, the
Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson,
died of AIDS yesterday in a London
hospital. He was 49.
Mr. Nutter rose to fame in the
1960s when he pioneered flared trousers and wide lapels, helping tum
them into the decade's trademark
fashions on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Beatles were wearing Nut.-
ter creations when they posed on a
London street for the "Abbey Road"
album cover.
A statement announcing Mr.
Nutter's death issued by his tailoring establishment in Savile Row
said:
"Over the past years that he
knew of his illness, he actively participated in supporting others living
with HIV and AIDS as well as helJ>ing AIDS charities and research organizations. It was his hope that the
fight against this disease can continue until a cure is eventually found."

�Ron Nunziato
Septo 16, 1952 - July 9, 1992
I have you fast in my fortress
and will not let you depart,
But put you down into the dungeon
in the round tower of my heart.
And th ere will I keep you forever,
Yes forever and a day,
till the walls shall crumble to ruin
and moulder and dust away.
Do I have your undivided atten-
tion?
As a handful of us piled into a
car in the Beth Israel Hospital parking
garage that Wednesday night, I wondered
in how many towns, in how many hospitals
was this drama unfolding? The previous
hours had been spent at Ron's bed, his
family of origin and his family of choice
watching the end creep stealthily closer
with each sweep of the second hand on the
clock. Settling into the back seat, I thought
about how Ron fell into the top tenth percentile of support systems. His passing
would be peaceful and dignified,
unsmirched by the friction and strain I've
seen in too many ICU's between parents
and lovers, siblings and friends.
The phone rang at 1:00 A.M. and
a mutual friend told me Ron had left for
the Big Resort.
'".
Believe me, rm astireclof~ting about friends I'll never see again as
you probably are reading about them. I
haven't the energy to pick up the pen and
eulogize every person who touched my
life. I don't have the stamina to sew a quilt
for all those snapshots of people who will
never smile for the camera again. And a
lot of the time, I don't even have the sorrow necessary to cry over another snuffedout life. This lack of feeling, this inactivity has nothing to do with insensitivity and
everything to do with desensitivity.
Yet, sometimes I'm allowed to
feel again.

There is a photograph, yes another photograph, of a birthday party over
five years ag , when Ron and Tony and I
.

were invincible. There we were: bewigged,
begowned and bewildered by an evening
of craziness in the midst of a special summer of questionable frivolity. I remember
that night clearly. It was OW' own persoaal
mil Gras. We·were all )'Ollll, healthy
ambitious and alive. The oaly thieg we
weNB't was invulnerable. I remember that
afternoon half a decade ago when Tony complained of a rash that would not go away,
something I dismissed then, but later recognized as the grisly calling card of the death
that would claim him less than two years
later.
Ron was selfless in making Tony's
last few months bearable. My immaturity
and youth made facing Tony's illness an impossibility. For years after, I carried the
shame of having been a failure to him. But
Ron always soothed that guilt with assurances that Tony had understood only too
well my fear and grief.
When Ron fell ill, it was an opportunity to recover the ground I had lost when
Tony died. While I couldn't be there a lot, I
was always amazed at how present Ron and I
were whether I was at his bedside, or if we
were' on the phone. He was so conscious of
the moment, sensitive to his visitors' concerns. The last time I spoke with him, laughed
with him, he was still the perpetual ·1talian
mother,· offering me food and coffee, insi~ting in playing the ever-graci~us host.. Giving, but never giving up, until he felt it was
his time to go.
Even at his wake there was an abundance of Ron's favorite elements: beauty,
music, love and humor. And while his soul
journeyed to dimensions beyond us, the example he set stayed behind, making us cry,
laugh and reflect. His life may have been cut
short but his memorv. will last lo11~.
'
I've though ct lot about Ron since
'a
he died. I've tried to find sense in his death.
I've tried to find some solace in the void he's
left behind. I look to others for answers they
cannot give. However, if I listen closely in
my apartment when it's very quiet, I'm sure
I can hear the rustle of satin hoop skirts and
the laughter of two friends reunited
after far too long. Maybe that's the
best we can hope for after all is
said and done.
And olt that happy note,
ciao for now!

seductive power of talk. Ray knew how
to make even Jean-Paul Sartre exciting,
erotic - to anyone.
Ray had a passion for living - a hungry curiosity about places and people

In Memory Of: Timothy Everett Nickerson
Timothy Nickerson loved to recite and to sing Psalm 23 as a young boy. As an adult he
realized what it meant to have Jesus Christ as his Lord, Savior and Shepherd, and to have
confidence in God's grace to him.
Less than 24 hours before Tim's death at Hospice, a friend sang Psalm 23 to him. The next
singing of Psalm 23 was by loved ones and friends at Tim 's funeral.
Each time I read or sing Psalm 23 I will remember that Tim is dwelling in the house of the
Lord forever.
PSALM23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in the green
pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in
the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the
Presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the LORD for ever.

trompe l'oeil, or illusionistic painting, creating architectural and garden scenes on the walls and ceilings
of rooms.
One of his early commissions, in
the late 70's from the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, was
to recreate the interior of London's
16th-century Globe Theatre. The
model of the theater, which was the
same size as the original, is still
included in a traveling exhibition.
Mr. Neas created decorative
paintings for such private clients as
Gloria Vanderbilt Cooper, Nelson
Doubleday, Annette de la Renta,
John Hay Whitney, and Jane and
Charles Engelhard.
For the last 27 years, Mr. Neas
also worked as an interior designer.
His work was seen six times in the
Kips Bay Boys and GirJs Club Decorator Showhouse. In 1984, Mr. Neas
was chosen to design a suite of
rooms for Queen Elizabeth II when
she visited a private home in Versailles, Ky.
Both of Mr. Neas's homes, a 1920's
house 11'1 Amagansett, L.I., and an
18th-century rectory that he restored in the Perigord region of
France, were widely pictured in European and American magazines.
In addition to Mr. O'Brien, Mr.
Neas is survived by a sister," Norma
Waitman of Lee's Summit, Mo.; a
half-sister, Louise Chaney, of Escondido, Calif., and two half-brothers,
Dixon Kepley of Anaheim, Calif., and
Edmond Kepley of Independence.

better place. He
had been battling HIV infection for 13

Geary
Street
and never seemed to recover.
Marty moved to San Francisco
from Hollywood, Calif., in 1979,
bailing originally from North

of career endeavors, but his favorite jobs involved those dealing
with the public. He worked as a
bartender at many of San Francisco's well-known venues: QT, Reflections, Giraffe, Gangway,
White Horse in Berkeley and,
most recently, Galleon.
Marty would always greet you
with a smile, and was ready to
offer a comforting remark or help
if needed. His witty disposition
and offhand remarks were his
trademark.
Marty is survived by his mother, Lois Schultz; father, Jimmy
Nellans; brother, Jimmy Dean
Nellans; half-brother, Brian

South Africa's most well-known
gay activist is dead of AIDS.
Simon Tseko Nkoli died Nov. 30
at Johannesburg General Hospital.
In a joint statement, the Gay and
of
Organisation
Lesbian
Witwatersrand and the National
Coalition for Gay and Lesbian
Equality - both of which Nkoli
helped found - said: "We mourn
the loss of an important anti-apanheid activist, gay and lesbian rights
activist and HIV/AIDS activist.
Simon was a courageous person who
dared to declare his sexual orienta-·
lion and his Hrv status at a time
when few were prepared to do so.
Through these acts he defied the
notion that being gay is unAfrican.
"As a founding member, of both
GLOW and the NCGLE, Simon
playedan important role in ensuring
that equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons has
been entrenched in the South African Constitution as an unalienable
right. Simon played an important
role in putting lesbian and gay issues on the agenda of the African
National Congress."
time of his death. Nkoli
At the _
was president of GLOW, a board
member of the International Lesbian and Gay Association, a member of the 1999 ILGA World Conference Organising Committee and
a member of the African National
Congress.
Nkoli was jailed for treason for
three years in the mid- l 980s. In a
1989 interview with this reporter,
he explained: "It was because of my
previous political involvement I was
involved in anti-apartheid organizations and demonstrated against
unjust laws such as detention without trial, inferior education and the
-increas[ing] of rent. I was held under Section 29 of the Internal Security Act and didn't get bail until I
gave evidence for my defense in
June 1987."
A memorial service was held in
Johannesburg Dec. 4. Other memorials and a funeral were planned.
Nkoli is survived by his lover,
Roderick Sharp. 'IR
John A. Nunes /'?79
John A Nunes died suddenly and unexpectedly June I atthe home in Roslindale
he shared with his panner, Tom Wallace.
He was 40.
John spent his childhood primarily in
Medford and Lexington. He lived briefly
in ·san Francisco and for IO years in New
York before returning in the 1980s to
Boston. In 1983 John received a BA in
Fine Arts from New York University,
specializing in video photography.In 1994
he earned a Masters in Nursing from
Mass . General Hospital's Institute of
Health Professions. At graduation, he was
awarded the Institute's prestigious "Excellence in Clinical Nursing Practice" (the
"Golden Nursing Cap") award and went
on to become a licensed Nurse Practitioner in the Boston area.
As a nurse practitioner, John specialized in he care of AIDS patients and
.served as president of the Association of
Nurses in AIDS Care. In addition to a
warm and caring bean, he possessed the
skills, determination and the persistence
that were necessary to ensure quality care,
human dignity and civil rights for people
living with AIDS. He was truly the best in
bean and skill and was completely dedicated to the care of his patients.
Over the past several years, John took a
sabbatical from nursing and turned an
avid interest in vintage dolls and toys into
a thriving hobby. Last year, he and his
partner lau~ched Valley of the Dolls.com,
one of the first e-commerce websites to
specialize in Barbie and other dolls and
toys from the 60s and 70s. Almost overnight, the website became world renowned
•
and John became one of the most respected and knowledgeable gurus of the
doll world. In an industry known for
dishonesty, John was widely respected
for his integrity.
John could often be seen walking his
dog Spike around the South End where
he lived for a num~r of years with his
then-husband, Jim Tucker. He also
worked out daily, or almost daily; loved
to downhill ski unreasonably fast and
loved to rollerblade. The many who truly
loved him will greatly miss his humor,
intense charm and kindheartedness.
A memorial service for John will be
held at Arlington Street Church on June
29 at 8p.m.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

he graduated from Sunset High School in
1967 and went on to attend Mt. Angel
Abbey seminary in ML Angel, Ore.,

Michael Kevin McHugh, 32, of
Alexandria, Virginia, died on Thursday,
December 10, 1992 at the Hospice of
Northern Virginia in Arlington. He died
of complications ~iat.ed with AIDS,
according to his longtime friend,
Geoffrey Foster of Davie, Amela.
McHugh was born in Alexandria, and
raised in Potomac, Md., where in 1978 he
graduated from Woodson High School.
He attended the College of Boca Ratori in
Boca Raton, Fla., and received a degree
in theater arts in 1980.
After graduating from college McHugh
moved to Alexandria, where he began
working as a patent legal secretary. In
1990 he began working for Foley and

McHugh worked there until this year.
One of McHugh's interests was acting,
Foster said. Two years ago he played the
Tin Man in a production of The Wizard of
Oz. McHugh was a member of the
Marilyn House, a local group of drag
enthusiasts who stage drag shows. This
year, according to Foster, McHugh, as
Margo Hemingway, was made Miss Pjsces.

June 24, HMS- Feb. 6, 1993
On February 6 at 6 p.m., as a f
moon was rising
into a clear win·
ter sky, our dear
Jim rose gently
into the light. An
,-~extraordinary
person has passed from our
midst and we
will feel this 1~
br the rest of
; w.r lives.
Jim had a full,
rich and life-affirming time on this
earth. Up until the very last -week of his
stay here he lived with ipirit, generosity
and incredible colll'llge. He had an inoate ability to bringpeq,le together and
an open heart which saw and aa::epted
people for who they were. Cultured but
not pretentious, demanding at times but
always able to laugh at his idiosyncracies, he was above all a true, loyal and
forgiving friend
The final yeaas of his life were a testament to the de]Xh and beauty of his
character, and a lesson to all of us on
facing death with gra:e. He lived life
with simple elegance and died as he
had lived, surrounded by those who
loved him.
Dance in the light, Meet Jimmy. We
know you will be there for us when our
time comes.
At 6:15 am. as the full moon slowly
slipped out of
sight, so did the
life of Douglas

Martin McDonald
March 26, 1996
The final full
meeting of the Evil
Flannel Sisters was
held at 4:30 p.m. on
Tuesday, March 26.
Martin McDonald,
charter member
and co-founder, resigned his position
and left this plane
for other dance
floors. The other three members were in
attendance, and bid him a fond and loving farewell.
Martin's transition was quiet and
peaceful, quite unlike his !!Sual facetious
self. Always thinking of others ahead of
himself, he wanted his farewell to be
calm and serene. While his quick wit,
humor and love of partying (quack!)
will be sorely missed, the members
know he is bringing joy and entertainment to his new companions and old
friends who have also graduated from
this· course. (Say hi! to Jack Rabbit.)
After the meeting adjourned, the remaining members vowed to keep alive
the spirit, hope and love Martin embodied. The final minutes of the meeting
read: "Save us a dance and some wiggle;
we'll see you when we get there. It's just
over the next hill ...."

Description
An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

Description
An account of the resource
This is the digitized fourteenth volume, or binder, of Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books.

However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included.

ber of the National Commission on
AIDS and an outspoken critic of President Bush's AIDS research policy,
died yesterday of complications from
the disease. She was 33.
Mason, who contracted the disease
through a blood transfusion, died of
AIDS-related pneumonia at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in
Nashville, said hospital spokesman
Doug Williams.
Her husband, Stephen Carden, said
she bad been hospitalized since
Wednesday.
"She brought a depth of compassion and humanity to the National
Commission on AIDS that will be
sorely mJssed," said the commission's
bead, Dr. June Osborn.
Mason bad become a national symbol for AIDS sufferers, said Carisa
Cunningham, a spokeswoman for the
Washington-based AIDS Action Council
'1 think that what was special and
courageous about Belinda was that
although she acquired HIV [the AIDS
virus] through an unusual mode of
transmission, she never tried to
separate herself from every other person with AIDS who got it through
drug use or sex activity," Cunningham
said
· Mason, of Utica, Ky., was president
of the National Association of People
With AIDS when Bush appointed her
in 1989 to the commission created by
Congress to advise lawmakers and
the president on AIDS issues.
She was often critical of Bush's
stance on AIDS, contending the administration treated the AIDS crisis as a
moral issue and not a public-health
issue.
"It seems they would think that a
condom and a pamphlet on bow to use
it would be a good investment, compared to lifetime health care," she
said in the June interview.

Thesewere justafewofthe
impressionssharedbythose who
work:ed with Steve Melvard.
·
Steve's efforts wi th the
AIDS ACTION Committee began shortly after he tested positive for the HIV virus in 1985.
Having volunteered to work on
the first Artcetera, Steve then
I
decided to devote his energies
full-time in the battle against this
epidemic. In 1987 he joined the
staff of the AIDS ACTION Development Department as the
SmallBusinessCoordinator. He
organized the involvement of
small businesses on Newbury
Street and the Back Bay and for
the next few years found he could
make his largest contribution
organizing events.
He played a major role in
Aid and Comfort, Heartstrings,
From All Walks of Life, the
Provincetown Hat Party, and
many other AAC events, both
large and small. He was a volunteer, a full-tim e staff person, and J
later,acontractemployee. There
were times when he was a volun- I
teer organizer at one event while
having full responsibility for
producing another event staged
at the same time.
Steve's event production
activities culminated with his coproduction of the most successfulArtcetera '90 last November.
Steve's other community
activities included work with the
Fenway Community Health
Center, the National Lesbian and f
Gay Health Foundation, DIFFA,
Bay Windows and South End I

Singer_with The Flirtations
Charismat ic singer of the a capella
group. The Flirtations , lead dancer with
the Rachel Lampert Dance Company and
an organizati onal whiz kid of the Gay
Men's Health Crisis, Terryl Joseph "TJ"
Myers died peacefully of complicati ons
due to AIDS on August 28, days after
moving from New York to San Francisco
to join his lover, Michael Weiss. Born on
February 7, 1960, in Twenty-Ni ne Palms,
California, TJ had always wanted to live
in his suMy birthstate. And in a very TJlike fashion, he did what he set out to do.
A singer, ~cer, actor, choreographer,
producer, teacher, graphics designer, adventurer, TJ was a man of boundless talent
and energy. There was seemingly nothing
he couldn't do, nothing he couldn't make
happen. He had the quickest mind I've ever
seen. And there was nothing he loved
more than a challenge.
When he came to New York after graduating Phi Beta Kappa from tpe University of Iowa (the state where he spent
most of his youth), he quickly became a
lead dancer with Rachel Lambert's modem
dance troupe - an association that continued to his death. He also danced with
several companies , including M.T.A. and
the TNT Dancers, and in numerous shows
and industrials. He even taught at the Jaffrey.
TJ was what you'd call "a natural" dancing came easily to him. He was a
choreograp her's dream. Not only could he
remember whole combinatio ns of steps
from a rehearsal several weeks earlier, he
was at home in every conceivabl e dance
style. He moved with absolute surety and
dramatic understanding. He was all confidence and concentration. It was the same
quality that he brought to his work with
The Flirtations . Even in his illness, he
would somehow rise to the occasion,' turning on all that TJ-electricity and warmth.
Of course his boyish good looks and his
sexy, pop voice didn't hurL Audiences
simply fell in love with him.
So did everyone at GMHC. He worked
in the Departmen t of Client Services for
several years. There he developed their excellent publication , Living with AIDS-a
resource directory for New York City. He
also broug'lt the Departmen t into the
computer age, changing most of their operational procedures and making them far
more efficient As I said, he loved a challenge. ·
His unexpected death left behind an
army of friends, relatives and acquaintances: his lover Michael; his brother
Randy and Randy's lover Jimmy Mello
with wllom TJ and Michael had lived in
New York; his mother, Shirley, his three

sisters and one other brother (all back in
Iowa); Rachel Lampert and countless dance
partners, students and choreographers, with
whom he worked through the years; the
"FAB-ulo us Flirts" (as he used to call
them, his voice soaring) with whom he
created something that transcended the sum
of their lives; scores of co-worker s at
GMHC; and thousands of friends and fans
across the country.
He touched so many people in so
many ways in his short Jife. Several
weeks before his death, we were sitting in
a restaurant somewhere while out on the
road (was it Chicago?) and our waitress
admired one of his multiple silver earrings. He took it off and gave it to her.
Vintage TJ. he was all about giving. doing and being. What a full, rich thirty
years he had.
Funeral services were held in Iowa in
early September , but a memorial servicecelebration will be held in New York at a
date to be announced. The family requests

or an appropriate AIDS organization.
Donations will be collected by The
Flirtations: P.O. Box 421, Prince St. Station, New York'- NY 10012-0008. It's little consolation , but I'm glad his final concert with The Flirts was one of those
thrilling, ~gical performanc es (he was in
his glory). I"m glad he made it back home
to California. I'm glad Michael was at his
side at the end

Douglas Milinazzo, 34, passed away at
his home in Milton on Oct 2, auended by
his Jover, Gregory Barattini and members
of his family. Doug died from complications due to AIDS.
Graduating in 1981 from Northeastern
University as a physical therapist, Doug
began his career at University Hospital,
later joining the Visiting Nurses Association of Boston. He was respected by his
professional colleagues for his skill and
acumen and was loved by many of his
patients as a warm and truly giving health
care provider.
A keen and appreciative observer of his
environment, Dougpursueda wide variety
of avocational interests. He was a superb
cook, especially accomplished in the cuisines of France and Italy. His eye for derail
led to a natural delight in interior design
and architecture. He could watch a tufted
tiunouse with as much pleasure, so varied
was his appreciation. He had the opportunity to indulge in many of his interests and
pursuits on trips to Europe, the Far East,
and the Carribean.
In .the last few years, Doug became
committed to and struggled courageously
for an end to. violence against gays and
lesbians. After two traumatic personal experiences, he appeared on both the local
and na&ional media to discuss anti-gay
vioJence, not flinching from indentifying
this menace in his efforts to address and

nue of the Americas, Mr. Braun-Munk
By WILLIAM ff. HONAN
an in- was one of four Greenwich Village
ris on booksellers who opened their stores on
a Sunday afternoon, seeking a constitutional test of the state Sabbath law and
their r,ight to sell books on Sundays. All
four were arrested, but soon the
charges against them were dismissed
because the policeman who served the
summonses could not be sure that he
had witnessed a book being sold.
In 1976, the New York State Court of
Appeals ruled that prohibitions against
public sales on Sunday were unconstitutional.
In 1964, Mr. Braun-Munk moved to
Paris as director of Hachette's Librairie Etrangere, which distributes
non-French books. Later, through an
~\
.
.
,
arrangeme nt with the publishers Edilions Stock and Grosset & Dunlap, he
became the first French publisher to
employ a personal imprint: Collection
Eugene Clarence Braun-Munk.
Under this imprint, he published
many well-known American authors in
French translation, including James
Baldwin, Henry Miller and Carson McCullers.
The first book under his personal
imprint was "The Merry Month of
May," James Jones's novel based on
the student uprising in France In 1968.
The French translation came out in
1971 and was dedicated to Mr. BraunMunk. His greatest commercia l success was Norman Mailer's "Marilyn,"
which sold 35,000 copies.

longtime companion, Raymond Machesney. Machesney said that Miller died
"peacefully and gracefully."
Miller served from 1968 to 1971, in the
U.S. Navy. Beginning as a deck officer in
the Mediterranean fleet, Miller was later
sent to Vietnam. There he served as
fourth riverine intelligence assistant in
Can Tho and as Naval intelligence liaison
officer in Tan Chau. During his tour of
duty, he received an early promotion to
the rank of lieutenant, and was awarded
the Air Medal, the Navy Commendation

Vietnam Campaign Medal, the National
Defense Service Medal, a Meritorious
Unit Commendation Ribbon, and - from
the former government of Vietnam - the
Staff Service Medal First Class.

M
1
ost people
have some
1
thoughts concerning AIDS,
but a lot of people still don't
have the facts. The friends
ric
and family of E Misclt)i.
have determined to change
that.
Mischke, who received
care at the Boston University Medical Center Hospital for AIDS-related complications, died at his home on
June 28, 1992. Recently,
devoted friends pooled
$10,000 in donations to set
up a memorial fund at the
Hospital in his name. The
money will be used by the
Department of Epidemiology to provide AIDS research, training and educational materials for the
Hospital.
11
In my opinion, Eric got
James M. Metros,.:! i~
absolutely incredible care at
The Hospital," says James
Hansen, a South End artist
and Mischke's longtime
companion. The Hospital's
treatment of Mischke was
the sole reason the memorial
fund idea came about,
Hansen says.
"We wanted to do something in his name, 11 Hansen
says, "but more importantly,
since his whole experience
there was a good one, we
wanted to do something for
the Hospital."
A $10,000 minimum is
n~eded to start a memorial
fund in a person's name at
the Hospital. Hansen had
already raised $2,300 in
donations on his own when
two close friends of his and
Mischke's, the Cohens,
donated the difference last
month.
"Eric got unbelievably
great care at the Hospital,"
says John Cohen, M.D., a
pediatrician at Newton/
Wellesley Hospital who,
along with his wife, Bette,
donated the $7,700 needed to
accelerate the process of setting up a memorial fund for
Mischke.
"During his declining
days, Eric spent many days on
our couch in our living room,
resting," Cohen remembers
fondly. Knowing that Hansen
planned to set up a fund at
the Hospital, and being philanthropically minded, the
Cohens made their hefty
donation.
John Cohen and Hansen
have been working closely
with Mischke's physician,
Elcinda Mccrone, M.D.,
director of the outpatient
disease clinic, to see that the
memorial-fund money is put
to use in AIDS education,
training, women's studies an
organized programs for those
with AIDS at the Hospital.
Cohen praised Mcc rone
for being the II epitome" of a
doctor, 11 a giving, caring person, 11 and credited her with
being an integral part of
Mischke's good Hospital car
Hansen is planning futur
fund-raisers this spring for
Mischke's memorial fund,
acknowledging that $10,000
is a small amount when it
comes to funding for AIDS
programs. Anyone who
would like to contribute to
Mischke's memorial fund, or
has any questions about memorial giving, should contact
Julianne Coleman, manager
of memorial giving, at 6388990.

Jim.Moore
Well-known Housk>n youth educator
HOUSTON(AP)-Afo nnerhighschool
science teacher who dedicated his final energies to teaching youths about AIDS has
succumbed to the disease.
Jim Moore, 42, taught chemistry and biology at Spring Woods Senior High School
for 10 years. His death May 20 was announced over the school's public address
system just before dismissal that day.
"Some of the kids were talcing it pretty
hard. The teachers lost a friend as well as the
kids," Spring Woods principal Perry Pope
said.
Moore was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987
and immediately began creating a community-wide AIDS education program, withoutrevealing be had the disease. He suffered
intennittent periods of illness from November 1991 until November 1992, when he
was too weak to continue teaching.
In late January, Moore asked for pennission to address the school's faculty and
1 600 students a~ut his disease.
Ina public, emotional appeal, Moore urged
students to protect themselves from highrisk behavior associated with the deadly
virus.
He told the teen-agers that he used a
condom when he contracted AIDS through
high-risk sexuala::tivity but would not elaborate.
After the speech, Moore received invitations from around the country to speak to
young people. His own students organized
several fund-raisers that last week garnered
thousands of dollars to help Moore with
huge medical bills and waning insurance
supplements.
Moore visited the school a few times after
his address and delivered a tape that was
played on the public address system last
week, Pope said.
Memorial services were planned for May
27 at Chapelwood UnitedMethodistChw ch

of letters and flowers, phone calls and devotional rrieals, I
went into a mania of work-writing plays and screenplays,
attending rehearsals, traveling, seeing friends, tackling

of them away. I took off my wedding ring.
Now, months after the fact, the layers of shock are beginning to fall away, and I am left with a feeling for which

friends and family, all the music he listened to, all the nov.' .' , els he devoured: Where are they now? Friends put me in
touch with a medium, and she convinced me that his spirit
was present. Every word she spoke on his behalf was
plausible. She knew countless things she couldn't have
known. So perhaps our spirits do go on. Still, I can't touch
him, I can't kiss him, I can't suck, fuck, and hold him He
can't reach up and stop me from picking my nose.
Nothing makes any sense to me. I have stopped reading The New York Times: It's all gossip, fashion, and obscene cruelty I have no power to change. In the months
since Tim died, the world is still obsessed with O.J. Simpson. I turn on the TV less than once a week, and I want

Which is more than most people can do. A very few
friends and colleagues are able to listen when I howl, to
be present and hold my hand, or to make me laugh. But
the most common response to my litany of boundless
sorrow is, "So what does your shrink say?" Anyone who
says that to me can expect to be deleted from my address

peace. Terrorists.
Maybe fll come out of this and be utterly ashamed to

Matthews's life was full of
activism in both the left and
in gay and lesbian political
arenas. He was a writer, a
poet, a networker, and last
but not least, a dish queen.
For the past 15 years,
Matthews was involved with
the Modem Times Bookstore,
first as a volunteer for five
years, and for the past ten
years as a full-time core member of the bookstore collective. Matthews helped make
Modem Times a center for
progressive activity. Fifteen
years ago he began the bookstore's monthly open reading
for gay and lesbian writers,
giving new writers a place to
read and be heard The open
reading continues to this day.
Matthews brought international writers to the bookstore, primarily from Latin
America, making these authors available to Bay Area
residents and extending their
readership beyond their countries of origin. He created
Modem Times' Spanish language section, which is used
widely by the Mission District's Latin American population.
His affinity for Latin
American cultures, literature,
social and political issues, and
building bridges between
movements brought him to
Mexico and Nicaragua. If
there was work to be done
concerning Latin American
gay and lesbian issues, he was
involved.
Matthews is known to
many from his appearance in

Greg Martell, 32 years old, died of complications from AIDS on Feb. 7, at his
home in Boston.
Greg was born and raised in Beverly,
MA, and moved to Boston almost immediately upon graduation from high school.
He soon became a star waiter and manager
at several of Boston's finest restaurants,
most of whose names began with the letter
"C" (Cafe Calypso, Club Cafe, Cornucopia). Wherever he worked, there was no
mistaking his fun-loving spirit-or his talent for making well-placed comments, usually accompanied by a raised eyebrow and
a smile.
Greg's life was filled with glamour and
excitement; he loved music, especially that
by singer Jane Olivor, whom he adored so
mush that, during her last Boston-area appearance, he left his hospital bed, using a
wheelchair, and attended the concert He
loved to iravel, and was especially fond of
visiting Seattle (where he lived for a year)

life, instead of the justifiable anger.
Greg leaves his partner, Stephen Serieka,
his mother, Joan, and two siblings. He also
leaves behind, both here in Boston and around
the country, an army of friends who were
honored and blessed to have Greg in their
lives, even if the time spent together was not
as long as we may have hoped. However, it's
during this time that we must try to remember
Greg's words of wisdom: "Old waitresses
never die, they just change stations."

But as with many great cynics, Scott had a
kind heart which fueled his distaste for anyone and anything that was phony.
Everyone at Luxor/Mario 'sis saddened by
the loss of our colleague and friend.
Scott was cremated and a portion of his
ashes were buried where a sapling was planted.
He had often said that he wanted his remains
to nourish a tree that would bloom very ye8Ji
on his birthday.
A memorial service was held on Nov .14 in
Mineral Wells, West Virginia.
Scott is survived by his parents, father Olis

three sisters, Ann Richards and Kelly Rett of

Thurgood Marshall, 84, a Conner U.S.
Supreme Court justice who was regarded
as a staunch ally of the Gay civil rights
movement, died on Sunday, January 24,
at the National Naval Medical Center in
Bethesda, Maryland, of heart failure.
Like Justice William Brennan, who
retired from the court in 1990, Marshall
gathered a near-perfect voting record on
cases involving constitutional rights for
Gay people during his 24-year high court
tenure. Marshall retired in June 1991.
During the 1980s, as the Supreme Court
turned steadily more conservative and
opposed to equal rights for Gays, Marshall provided a strong voice of dissent
that championed equal rights for all
minorities, including Gays.

State Senate candidate
dead at 30
by WALTER WOODS
Atlanta-Philip J. Mitchell ill,
who hoped to boost the city's
AIDS community by running for
state Senate as an openly gay
man with AIDS, died March 4 of
complications from the disease.
He was 30. ~ t,
In January, Mitchell announced.his candidacy for the
District 39 state Senate seat being vacated by Ron Slotin, who
is running for the U.S. House of
Representatives in District 4.
"My beautiful son passed
away March 4, 1996, due to complications arising from AIDS,"
Mitchell's mother, Martha, said
in a statement. "The state of
Georgia and District 39 are
robbed of someone who could
and would have made a difference."
Mitchell was one of two
openly gay candidates running
for Slotin's district, which is 60

owner Bill Lansden has also declared he's running for the seat.
A primary is scheduled for June.
Slotin's Senate term ends
with the current legislative session later this month.
A friend, John Collins, said
that shortly after Mitchell announced his candidacy, he
started suffering from severe
headaches that puzzled his doctors. Two weeks ago, Mitchell
developed an upper respiratory
infection and did not get better.
Mitchell said in January that
he modeled himself after openly
gay candidates like Mike Nelson,
the mayor of Carrboro, N.C., and
the late Cal Anderson, a gay man
with AIDS who served in the
Washington state legislature. He
said he was running in part for

ou
Twenty years ago this week, on
September 8, 1975, United States
Air Force Technical Sergeant
Leonard Matlovich was introduced
to the world when he appeared in
his Air Force uniform on the cover
of Time magazine with the words,
"I Am a Homosexual" emblazoned
across his chest.
Long before the present debate
about gays in the military, Sgt.
Matlovich, a decorated Vietnam
veteran. challenged the military
policy excluding gays from military service. He was dismissed from
the Air Force one month after he
publicly disclosed his sexual orientation to his superiors in March,
1975. After a lengthy court battle,
he accepted a $160,000 settlement
from the U.S. government in 1980
and agreed not to return to the U.S.
Air Force. Sgt. Matlovich died of
AIDS in 1988.
In many ways. Sgt. Matlovich
was the perfect candidate to challenge the military ban. He was a
12-year veteran. a decorated officer with an unblemished record,
the son of a sol~ier. At_32 years
old. Sgt. Matlov1ch was JUSI co~h
ing out of t_~ closet, al!hough this
which he had
was a dec1s1on '? _
given much agomzmg thought.
The book, "Profiles in Gay and
Lesbian Courage" (St. Martin's
Press. 1991 ). which is dedicated to
Sgt. Matlovich. includes an interview in which Sgt. Matlovich recounts his decision to become the
first military officer to publicly
A meda l
killin g
or"
acknowledge his homosexuality:
"Years later after my picture was
on the cover.of Time, when people
said to me, 'I wouldn't have the
courage to come out like you did,'
I replied , 'Yes, you would . Believe
me, if you'd been th.rough the selfinflicted agony I suffered. coming
out would not be the hardest thing
todo.ldidn'tjus tgetuponemorn ing and say, ' I'm going to fight the
Air Force.' It was a four-year process. It was a long, hard, four years
of building my courage up to the
2:,
point where I had to do it~ e e _I
could no lon~er resist e~~laiming,
' No more, Air Force-It s wrong
what you're doing!'"
When the story of Sgt.
Matlovich 's challenge to the military policy broke-first in a New
York Times article on August 28,
J975-it was followed by a media
frenzy, since this marked the first
timeanymembe roftheU.S.mili tary had taken such a dramatic step.
Sgt. Mat Jovich soon found him self
besieged with requests for interviews from the gay and the mainstream ~ess and--1£!:. apJ:>earances
at fundraisers and political events.
An above average made-for-TY
movie, "SergeantMatlov ich vs. the
United States Air Force," starring
Brad Dourif. Frank Converse and
Rue McClanahan , made news
when it was broadcast in 1978.
But it was the Time magazine
cover story on September 8, 1975 ,
carrying the face of an open homosexual into grocery stores, newsstand s and homes across America,
that had an impact far beyond what
Sgt. Matlovich could ever imag_
ine.
"I was 15 and in high school in a
small town in Kansas. I remember
buying a copy of the magazine in a
supermarket and then destroying
it," recalls Paul Rehme, owner of
We Think the World of You bookstore in Boston, who would later
become a friend of Sgt. Matlovich.
"But I got another copy which I
still have. It helped me to come
out. It was an important magazine
cover. It is hard to believe it was 20
years ago ."
In the years during and .shortly
after his court battle. Matlovich
was a fixture on the lecture circuit
and was widely regarded as a "gay
hero." Later, there were reports
that his sudden celebrity status,
fueled in part by the hunger for a
gay media icon , had left him feeling that he had been used by gay
activists. But at the end of his interview in "Profiles in Gay and Lesbian Courage," Sgt. Matlovich
sounds not bitter, but resigned and
reflective.
" I have always been basically
old-fashioned," Sgt. Matlovich
said. "What I wanted was a yard
with a picket fence. a dog. a cat.
and a lover, not necessarily in that
order. I never had a lover, and now
it's unlikely that I ever will. Having AIDS is a curse as well as a
blessing. The curse is that I am not
well. The blessing is that I can
leave with a feeling that the world' s
a better place. There are people
who are better off because I existed." T

Robert Marquis; an architect
wideiy known for his efforts to inject
a social consciousness into a profession he frequently criticized as Indifferent to human needs, died on Tuesday in San Francisco. He was 67.
The cause was complications following pancreatic surgery, said his
partner, Gita Dev.
Mr. Marquis's most famous·
project was the 1985 transformation
of a troubled low-income housing
complex in San Fra.ncisco, a crimeridden slab nicknamed the " pink
palace," into usable and safe housing for the elderly. Called the Rosa
Parks Apartments, the project attracted national attention as a prototype for the reconstruction of failed
low-income housing projects.
With his former partner, Claude
Stoller, and the landscape architect
Lawrence Halprin, he also designed
the St. Francis Square housing complex of 1963 in San Francisco, a lowrise grouping of moderate-income
cooperative apartments that was nationally recognized as a model for
sensitive urban design.
"We believe that architecture is a
social art that serves people and
their society,'' Mr. Marquis said in a
1992 lecture explaining his firm's
approach. "I am not just referring to
functional needs, but also to the users' spiritual and psychological
needs, their aspirations."
Mr. Marquis, who maintained of.fices in San Francisco and New York
City, also designed numerous academic buildings, suburban houses
and public projects, including the
school of music at Stanford University and the modernization of the south
terminal of the San Francisco International Airport.
His major work in New York was
the Aaron CopTand School of Music
at Queens College. Completed in
1992, it is a large brick building with

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP)
- Paul Monette, a Lawrence, Mass.,
native who wrote of the stigma of being a
gay man, has died of complications from
AIDS at age 49.
He died at his home Feb. 10, five years
after he was first diagnosed as being
HIV-positive, said Elisabeth Nonas, a
close friend. A private memorial service
was held Feb. 11 at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills.
In addition to his 1992 memoir, " Becoming a Man: Haifa Life Story," which
won him a National Book Award, Monette
wrote about the agonizing death from
AIDS of his lover Roger Horwitz in the
1988 volume " Borrowed Time: An AIDS
Memoir."
He also wrote a collection of poems,
" LOve Alone: Eighteen Elegies for Rog. "
Monette described in " Becoming a
Man" his early suppression of his homosexuality. He wrote of his struggle for
identity in the 1950s and ' 60s, and survival in a homophobic society.
He studied at Andover and Yale, then
publicly acknowledged his homosexuality in 1974, when he met Horwitz.
Monette was strongly influenced by
the Stonewall rebellion, which occurred
when a crowd of angry gay men and a few
lesbians resisted a 1969 police raid on a
Greenwich Village gay bar. Then he
watched as an interested observer as the
gay pride movement began to develop
across the country.
Monette received his first critical attention in 1975 with a collection of poetry, "The Carpenter at the Asylum,"
described as a dead serious comedy of
manners. In 1978 he turned to prose fiction with "Taking Care of Mrs. Carroll,"
a comic tale of two gay men who conspire
with an aging actress to inherit considerable riches.
"The Gold Diggers" is about homosexual lovers who let a female friend

intrude upon their lives, while "No Witnesses" is a series of poems about the
imagined adventures of such famous characters as Isadora Duncan, Noel Coward
and Henry David Thoreau.
But it was the torment of AIDS that
preoccupied his later writings.
In " Borrowed Time" he offered a poignant examination of Horwitz 's struggle
and death. The New York Times Book
Review said it had " the leanness and urgency of war reporting."
Monette also wrote about AIDS in "Afterlife" in 1990 and "Halfway Home" in
1991.
Shortly before his death, Monette told
the Los Angeles Times that he didn't feel
he had given up on life because he decided
to refuse medication.
"I owe it to all the people I buried to
keep fighting. We all have suffering in our
lives. The best we can do is help each
other and take the world seriously," he
said.
Survivors include his father, Paul; a
brother, Robert; and his companion, Winston Wilde.

KenJ. Morrison
Ken J. Morrison, 30, of Boston, died
peacefully at Mt. Auburn Hospital on
March 24, surrounded by close friends
and family. The cause of death was
AIDS-related pneumonia. '1 S
Born in Lewiston, Maine, May 6,
1964, Ken was the first in his family to
graduate from high school. He managed
restaurants for the McDonalds Corporation, attended the University of Michigan, and eventually settled in Boston.
Ken attended Mansfield Beauty School,
became a colorist and hair designer, and
started a career that brought him to several departmenutore salons in the Boston area, as well as travel all over the
world as an artistic director for MEI
Salons. He last worked at the Lord &
Taylor Salon in Boston for Premier Salons.
Ken was diagnosed with AIDS in
1991. He was living with CMV retinitis
and its gradual theft of vision, other HIV
related illnesses, and the daily routines
of IV medication for over four years. All
the whiJe, Ken kept up an active life. He
worked. He continued to build his record
collection and mix his dance music. He
made friends in cyberspace. He traveled
to Cancun, London, DC, San Francisco,
Australia, Montreal, Panama. He was
out in the sun at Ogunquit, Hawaii,
Provincetown, even the RamRod Pride
Day float, working on his all-over tan.
Ken did not want to go softly into the

that's what he did. He and his partner,
Todd Williams of Boston, traveled to
Disney World two months ago. Though
he was mostly confined to a wheelchair,
Ken loved it and still managed to hit the
dance floors.

Ken was bold and impatient, yet tender and fiercely loyal to those that mattered to him. He had an intelligence that
would startle his friends and he was
quickly adopted by those who knew
him. He was a wonderful example of

Ken touched many lives, even if briefly,
indelibly. For his love of life, not his

Performance Artist
And Solo Comic
By STEPHEN HOLDEN
Frank Maya, a comedian and performance artist who was one of the
first openly gay male comics to gain
a foothold in mainstream stand-up
comedy, died on Monday at his parents' home in Manhattan. He was·45.
The cause was heart failure related to AIDS, said his sister Janet.
Mr. Maya, a high-energy, hyperanimated performer who affected a
sardonically hysterical tone on the
stage, was born in Queens and
reared in Babylon, L.I. After graduating from Hofstra University in
1972, he began his career as a singer,
songwriter and poet, appearing extensively in clubs around Manhattan. He also appeared in John Jesurun's, avant-garde theater serial,
"Chang in a Void Moon."
By the 1980's, he had redefined
himself as a performance artist delivering musically inflected solo
monologues that he called "rants."
Three shows - "Frank Maya
Talks," "Get Out of the House" and
" Unauthorized Autobiography: An
Outing for the Whole Family" were presented in New York spaces
that included LaMama, Performance Space 122, the Kitchen and Alice Tully Hall (as part of the Serious
Fun series at Lincoln Center).
In the early 90's, Mr. Maya redefined himself again as an openly gay
stand-up comedian, and he became
the first such comedian to appear on
MTV's "Half-Hour Comedy Hour."
He also starred in his own half-hour
special on the Comedy Central network.
He appeared regularly at Caroline's Comedy Club in New York
City, and his one-man show, "Paying
for the Pool," ran at the Atlantic
Theater Company for eight weeks in
the fall of 1993. A portion of that
show is included in the recent anthology "Out Loud and Laughing" (Anchor Books).
In addition to his sister Janet, he is

"guys you would like to know as

�Roy Mason
Roy Emery Mason, 57, a futuristic architect who designe d the master plan and
many exhibits for the Capital Childre n's
Museum in Washington, D.C., was pronounced dead of blunt trauma to the head
on Sunday, May 26, 1996 after he was
found by police in his D.C. home.
Mason' s death is being investigated as
a homicide, and police have issued a w~rant for the arrest of Christo pher Robm
.
Hatton, 19, for murder.
"Roy was a genius," said Ann Lewm,
founder of the Childre n's Museum , who
worked with Mason for 20 years. "He
had a spark of creativity like few people
I've ever known. I'm just devastated."
Mason worked as an architectural editor at Futurist magazi ne, part of the
World Future Society, since the 1970s.
He was known for designing free-form
structures made from polyurethane foam,
such as the "Mushr oom House" in
Bethesda, Md., according to longtime
colleague Robert Evans. M_?re re<:ently,
Evans said, Mason was a pioneer m the
field of "smart home" design, which uses
telecommunications and comput er systems to create homes in which occupa nts
can switch on appliances by speakin g and
enjoy other high-tech conveniences.
Mason was the coautho r of a 1983
book on futuristic living in a computerized home Xanadu. The "home of the future" describ ed in the book was later built
just south of Orlando in Ki~simmee, 1:1a.,
where it became a tounst attracbon.
Mason also designe d some props for the
first Star Trek movie, according to M.J.
Vilardi, a friend and ~olleague who considered Mason his mentor.
"He was an amazin g man," ~d Vilardi
·Mason was born June 29, 1938 in
Housto n, Texas. He earned a bachelo r's
degree in architecture at Texas Technological College in 1961 and a mas.t er's
degree in architecture from Yale Umver-
sity in 1963. He lived for many years in John J. Maus

quiet the room was. There was no
hum from the respirator Tom was
hooked up to and no labored breathing coming from the other side of the
curtain. It was mysteriously calm, and
the large, bright light glared overhead. The morning sound of respirator and Tom 's coughing had been a
constant these past eight days.
Four years ago, when I was diagnosed
HIV positive, I would look away whenever I saw someone obviously struggling
with AIDS. You know, the ones limping
on canes, covered with KS blotches,
staring out with glazed eyes. In such situations I could be laughing in a restaurant with friends one moment and the
next be stopped in midsentence: What
would I do when my time came?
To date, I've only personally known
two people to die of AIDS; three if you
count my aw1t's neighbor in suburban
Chicago. A good track record for a
black, gay 28-year-old, I think. My
friends Craig and Tim, who attended
college with me in my native Kansas,
both silently went away like elderly
Native Americans waiting for the ominous gong. I never saw tllem sick or thin
or trying to fight for more time. Tim
never even told us. He just went home
to Missouri. His parents called about
two months later to give me tl1e news.
Still, I've grown accustomed to seeing seriously ill people. But nothing
could have prepared me for sharing a
room for more tllan a week with
someone so close to death. We were
never formally introduced, but on the
second night, Tom forced out a whispered "Excuse me." There was a full
minute before the next phrase as he
strained to keep down the mucus filling his lungs. I was listening to Jessye
Norman and Kathleen Battle sing
spirituals on my stereo, desperately
trying to forget how much I resented
hospitals. I didn't know if he was
speaking to me or if he dido 't realize
his lover had left the room.
I took off my headphones and
asked, "Do you need something,
Tom?" He gasped for air as I leaned
closer toward tile half-closed curtain
between us. He tried again: "I need ... "
Then tile volume and his ability to
form intelligible words dissolved.
Incomprehensible sounds followed. I
was frustrated with myself for not
being able to figure out what he want-
ed. I didn't want him to think I was
unkind or unconcerned. I felt sadly
helpless. His lover came back in the
room and said, 'Tm sorry. Was he
bothering you?" I said he wasn't and
that I was just trying to figure out what
he wanted. Then we both returned to
our respective spaces. He never looked
at me or spoke to me again.
Despite turning my headset on full
blast, I heard every word on his side of
tile curtain. I heard Tom's lover offer
him water: "That's good, that's going
to help you get better." I heard the
doctor say it was useless to continue
suctioning the fluid from Tom's lungs:
"It simply makes him weaker." I couldn't not hear. It was too real. Death, tllat
is. There was nothing secret or hidden
about it. Last night I heard Tom's lover
say in a hushed tone, "I love you, Tom.
I love you so much, and I'm sorry you
have to go th.rough this." I could hear
him crying as he lay close to Tom on
the bed. Tears flowed onto the pillow
as I buried my face deep into the cotton case to muffle my pathetic, howling cry. At some point I guess I stopped
pretending not to listen.
After me nurse left the room this
morning, I lay there and looked up at

curtain I would often ask the nurse to
close completely so I wouldn't have to
see how very sick Tom was or how sick
I someday might become.
Now I walk over to look at his dead
body. He is so pale. And still. I breathe
deeply and think about me lying tllere.
Standing so close to Tom's body and
watching his lover take care of him

Often no bigger than a grape, many of the

R. Kirby Matson, 56, died
Thursday, September 5, 1996,
of liver cancer at
his Takoma Park,
Maryland, home,
according to bis
partner, Tom Ingold of Takoma
Park.
Matson was
born Oct. 23,
1939, in D.C. He grew up in Silver
Spring, Md., where he graduated from
Blair High School. He received a bachetor's degree in sociology from American
University in 1963.
Shortly before his college graduation,
Kirby founded a construction company,
R. Kirby Matson Inc. He served as the
company's president until the late 1970s,
when he began working for other metropolitan D.C. construction companies. Re
was a general manager for Cornett Excavation; project superintendent for Driggs
and Company; and sight superintendent
for both Regent Construction, now defunct, and Grade A Excavation.
He spent nearly 30 years in the construction business.
"It's something he set out to do early
in life, and he loved it," Ingold said.
' Matson, an avid pianist, also entertained at the Fox Lounge, Johnny's, and j
The Townhouse - all former D.C. Gay
establishments. He owned and operated
the now-defunct 1832 Club, a popular
j
Gay bar in the late I %Os.
In the late 1980s, Matson served as the
pianist for "The Elderados," a revival
rock 'n' roll band composed of mostly
straight men in their 40s who enjoyed j
playing oldies for parties and other
events, Ingold said.
His hobby was reading about the nalion's vanishing railways, and he was a
member of Hot Box, a group of local

Paul Mitchell,
1949-1996
Paul Mitchell, the coordinator
of AIDS Action's HIV
In formation Center, died on
July 11, 1996 of complications
related to AIDS. Paul started at
AIDS Action as a Hotline
volunteer in 1993, answering

callers' questions about HIV
and AIDS. In 1994, he began to
volunteer for the Speakers
Bureau, talking about his HIV
infection and providing lifeprolonging information to
clients and those at risk for HIV.
His personal experience with
HIV led him to the Resource
Lib rary where he was hired full
time in 1994.
He will be remembered for his
sense of humor, his strong sense
of dedication and his desire to
continue to work at AIDS
Action as long as possible.
Among his accomplishment s
was the creation of an on-line
database of AIDS treatment
information so that treatment
information cou ld be accessed
quickly and sin1ply.
Paul was especially skilled at
helping other people with AIDS
understand their treatment
options and was a passionate
believer that treatments could
sustain life and that people with
AIDS have reason to hope.
He leaves many friends and will
be greatly missed by his family
at AIDS Action.

Client Services is working to

those whq are doing weU on
them.
"At this time, we expect demand
for our services to increase as
people with AIDS look for
resources to help them utilize
ilie new treatments," said
Kessler.
In addition Client Services is
closing monitoring demand for
services.
"While we don't know exactly
what to expect, it is clear that
this new treatment information
will challenge many of our
expectations around this
epidemic," said Kessler. "As
people are living longer and
healthier lives, we expect an
increase in demand for some
services, a decrease in demand
for others and a change in ilie
way we offer others.
"There's a lot of change going
on, however AIDS Action's
commitment to advocacy,
prevention and service for
people with HIV and AIDS will
remain critical," he continued.
"AIDS Action will continue to
be a strong and continuing
player in ilie battle against AIDS
and the prevention of HIV."

y first memory of Chester
is from a Toronto community. center in 1989: This
tall, handsome man was speaking passionately about the
important role nutrition could
play in maintaining a healthy
immune system in the face of
HIV. It was not your usual "take
a multivitamin"
lectureChester's talk
focused on
protein, micronutrients, antioxidants and
apoptosis long
before the terms became
trendy. He considered most
dietitians' recommendations
for people with HIV to be, at
best, primitive. It was amazing
to hear state-of-the-art
research discussed in such a
practical way. Chester's speech
influenced me to increase coverage of complementary therapies
in the Community AIDS Treatment Information Exchange's
(CATIE) newsletter.
Chester was a tireless man
with a wicked sense of humor
and a love for fresh lobster. A
self-educated advocate-he had
a PhD in biochemistry but was
not a medical doctor-h e
considered his work since 1992
as scientific adviser to CATIE to
be a political act At a time when
the Canadian government and
trained dietitians were largely
ignoring people with HIV. he produced brochures and traveled to
outlying communities at his own
expense to discuss nutrition.
In early August. Chester
called to tell me that he was in
the hospital. His death a few
months later, from complications due to non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma. came as a shock;
that he lived with HIV for nearly
20 years is perhaps testimony
to his aggressive use of nutritional supplements.
I've lost another mentor to
this plague. I'll miss our monthly
lobster dinners and his sophisticated insight. -Sean R. Hosein

�Steve Michael, age 42, founder of
ACT UP/Washington, DC (the AIDS
Coaliton To Unleash Power), died on
May 25 of AIDS. Michael's partner of
seven years, Wayne Turner, gave the
order to disconnect Michael from life
support after his condition severely
worsened that morning. Michael had
spent almost four weeks in the Intensive
Care Unit at Washington Hospital Center for treatment of AIDS related pneumonia.
AIDS activists from across the country, and hundreds of local supporters
including top District of Columbia
elected officials, will meet in Washington June 4 to march Michael 's body
through city streets to the White House.
"If I die, take my body to the White
House," Steve instructed Wayne Turner
of ACT UP/Washington, Michaels' activist colleague and partner/lover of 7
years, as he entered the Intensive Care
Unit of Washington Hospital Center.
"Show the world that Bill Clinton has
lied lo and betrayed peope with AIDS."
ACT UP chapters from New York
and Philadelphia will transport busloads
of activists to join hundreds of Washington activists to mourn one of their
most dedicated fighters. They will march
with drums, loudspeakers, signs and
banners cataloging Clinton's unkept
campaign promises as well as a 30-foot
puppet depicting Clinton as the grim
reaper.
· "The fury against Bill Clinton's lies
and inaction in the face of a growing
epidemic is rising day by day," said
Turner. "His own AIDS Advisory Council is prepared to walk out after his
cowardly decision to deny funding for
syringe exchange. The Congressional
Black Caucus is calling for a declaration
of a health emergency on the AIDS
epidemic in communities of color. Steve
lived and died calling for Clinton to
address this crisis, and his fight will
carry on through the work of thousands
of other people with HIV and activists.
Clinton is not off the hook."
"Steve Michael spent the last years of
his life holding President Clinton accountable for his broken promises on

AIDS," said Julie Davids of ACT UP/
Philadelphia. "And now he has died an
untimely death in a country where ~ere
is still no national health care, no funding for syringe exchange, and no coordinated effort to find a cure for AIDS."
Clinton, who has been the primary
focus of Michael's activism for more
than five years, promised in the 1992
election campaign that he would "make
AIDS a top priority" of his administration by launching an all-out coordinated research effort to find a cure for
the disease (the Manhattan Project).
Clinton further committed to appointing a top-level AIDS czar with significant powers to lead the nation's efforts
against the deadly disease, make federal funding available for needle exchange programs, fully implement the
recommendations of the National Commission on AIDS, and make health care
universally accessible, regardless of
ability to pay.
Steve's mother, Barbara Michael,
who is traveling from California to participate in her son's last White House
protest, stated, "If this had happened to
Clinton's kid, he'd be doing something."

Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books
Description
An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

Description
An account of the resource
This is the digitized thirteenth volume, or binder, of Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books.

The Never-Ending Quilt Sto~
)
by Martin M. Boucher
=
~
I stt at my typewriter. preparing to write how I
feel. eight months after seeing the AIDS Memorial
Quilt in Washington. D.C. on October 6. 1989.
This ts my way of remembering and honoring my
dear fnend. Chrtstopher Lambert. who has since
passed on. His undying love for ltfe and hope for
the future stay with me. Goodbye. dear fnend. I
will see you when my time here ts over but now I
have thts story to tell.
In Washington. Chrtstopher wanted to spend
the entire day viewing the "never-ending Quilt". He
had a wheelchair and I had a cane. The AIDS
Memorial Quilt was to be displayed all weekend.
Pushing my fnend around the maze of the quilt.
stopping at each panel so he could reflect, seeing
old fnends. and taking pictures, I had a humorous
sense of being Bette Davis in "What Ever Happened
to Baby Jane?" I'm not saying that my fnend and I
were like those great movie stars but sometimes he
could be trying and he could bust my bubble. 1
told him so several times and Chnstopher would
laugh and say. "If you don't like it. Mona. you can
always hire me a nurse on roller skates." we
would chuckle and then he'd get senous and we'd
be off to the next panel. Sometimes Chrtstopher
would forget that I was even there and would go off
on his own. camera focused. 1 started to have
feelings of my own loneliness.
I found my way to the center of the quilt where
a signature square was located for those who cared
to add a name or other remembrance. At first. I
didn't think that I knew anyone who had died. so I
wrote in "No More Death - Find a Cure ... Now!!!
Rest in Final Peace ... Marty. October 6, 1989."
Then Chrtstopher and I met and we continued our
journey together. Thirty minutes later. I found
myself staring at a panel honoring my ex-lover five
years ago.
Then the sadness hit me with full force . Tears
streamed down my face as I fell to my knees and
touched Bob's photo that was sewn to his panel
along with a collage of his personal belongings.
other photos. letters. signatures of family
members. loved ones. and fnends. There was a
button that I'd gtven him when we were young and
in love. It read simply. "LOVE FOR LIFE!!!" At this
point. I lost it. I didn't even know he was ill, let
alone dead! I was alone. crying. but not really
alone . Around me, people were crying. laughing,
touching, feeling the overwhelrninl! emotions
~vate hellcopter. getting ready to have surge,y on
his finger. I'm sure he didn't sec us.
I needed to.be alone. But the Quilt followed me
to my hotel room. In my mind. I saw the button
and Bob's face over and over again. Happy and
unhappy memoI1es flooded the room. I was Uvtng
in Worcester with Bob when news of AIDS began to
spread and the then labeled "Homosexual
Transmitted Killer Epidemic~ hit the major cities.
We had always been careful but I know now we
weren't as well protected as we'd thought. We
eventually went our separate ways. He Joined the
Navy and I went back to my home town and Cape
Cod. I never heard from Bob again.
I want everyone to remember the good
times and not dwell on the sad or
unhappy times ... I want dear friends
and loved ones to know that they have
all made an Impact on my life.
I've had this dread disease for two years with
only minor setbacks and treatments. Chrtstopher
tried every treatment and study available to him
without promises of success or pleasant results.
He took himself off all medication and drug trials
exactly as he'd planned. I could never be as brave
or as stubborn as he was. What kind of courage
does it take to realize that you aren't going to get
better when your doctor lnfonns you that the
treatments and clinical trials are toxic to your
system? I hope I never have to go through what
Chrtstopher went through. I would probably do
exactly what he did and try to enjoy the rest of my
life.
At the candlelight March Against AIDS at the
Ellipse. the October nighttime air hung heavily
over the thousands of people who gathered for
speeches, singing and remembrance.
The view was magical - a million illuminated
fireflies radiated over the memoI1al of our late,
great President. Abe Lincoln. If there ts truly a

Scott Lago
Scott Lago, one of the founding members of the NAMES Project, and organizer
of hundreds of displays of the AIDS
Memorial Quilt, died July 30 of AIDS. He
was 31.
Raised in Athen~. Georgia, Scott graduated from the University of Georgia in
1981 with a degree in broadcast journalism. After graduation, he worked in the
news department of the NBC television affiliate in Savannah, Georgia. In 1985, he
moved to San Francisco and worked for
Neiman-Marcus.
Scott was one of the founding
NAMES Project volunteers, helping to
the Project in June, 1987. He

helped organize the Quilt's earliest displays, including the first San Francisco
showing in the windows of NeimanMarcus, and the inaugural Washington,
D.C. display. His many contributions during this early stage of the project have
evolved into lasting traditions that visitors
to the Quilt can still sec (oday.
In 1988, Scott was hired as a tour
manager and traveled across the country,
,l-//-

.
organizing Quilt displays in the 19 largest
cities, including Boston. His passionate
work, and his vivid eloquence, helped
thousands of people all across the country
see the Quilt, share their loss, and understand the effects of the epidemic. In
October of that year, he was featured on
ABC News' Nightline.
In 1989, he organized a second crosscountry tour of the Quilt, and also brought

His companion. Charles Bolds, said
he died of AIDS.
Mr. Lorimer was among the early
researchers to analyze AIDS statistics
o show major differences in infection
rates by age, race, sex, neighborhood
and drug-abuse patterns.
The AIDS maps, charts and profiles
that emerged showed which groups
11nd areas most needed medical and
social services and programs to prevent the disease from spreading further. The variations were often starling. He calcuJated that in a part of the
Lower East Side racked by poverty
and drugs, one of every 12 men was ·
infected with H.l.V., while a few blocks
away in a predominantly Asian section,
the rate was only one in 273.
Since 1989 Mr. Lorimer was the dJrector of special projects for the Health
Systems Agency of New York City. For
several years he was the AIDS service
coordinator for the Lower East Side.
He was also on the original staff of the
Office r,f Gay and Lesbian Health Concerns created by Mayor Edward I.
Koch to help deal with AIDS and had
been a coordinator of the city's AIDS
hotline.
He served on the board of Body Posi- 1
tive, an organization for people infected with H.I. V. He also pressed for AIDS
services as a member of Community
Board 3 in Manhattan.
Surviving are his father, Robert L.
.Lorimer of Edina, Minn.; a brother,
Lawrence T. of Manhattan, and two
sisters in California.

headstone on his son's grave to remove a reference to AIDS. Lawrence's headstone reads,
·AIDS is a hard disease to die from, but I rejoice in knowing that my friends will carry on against
AIDS and gay oppression.• His father's suit, required because cemeteries refuse to alter
gravesites without a court order, asks the court to order the change as part of his right to privacy.
Friends of the dead activist are outraged at the father's suit and the attempt to eliminate the
Teference to th.!:_ cause of his son's death in defiance of the dead man's wishes. / ,;·?' ~

�Painter Elizabeth Layton, strong
backer of Gay rights, dies at 83
,q~
by Trey Graham
Eli7.abeth Layton, a Kansas artist
whose politically charged drawings attracted national attention last year, died
March ·15 at the age of 83, according to
The Wichita Eagle. She had suffered a
stroke in February, and had developed
pneumonia.
An exhibit of Layton's work at the
National Museum of American Art last
summer was the subject of a June review
in The Washington Blade, based on the
artist's stands on issues like civil rights
for Gay people, funding for AIDS research, and reproductive choice.
Layton began drawing at age 68 in an
effort to overcome clinical depression.
Her works are direct and personal, expressing the artist's opinions in clear yet
evocative ways.
In one drawing, titled "The Sneeze,"
Layton and her husband suffer from
dreadful winter colds. ln the kitchen,
oranges lin_ the counters waiting to be
e
squeezed for fresh juice. On close inspection, it becomes evident that there are no
Aorida oranges in the drawing, only fruit
from Texas and California - a reference
to the Gay-led boycott of Aorida citrus
after Anita Bryant's anti-Gay campaign
there. In another drawing, a self-portrait,
Layton wears an assortment of activist
slogan buttons, one of which reads,
"Gays are people, too."
Just before her illness, "Grandma"
Layton, as she signed her drawings, wrote
a letter to the editor of the Salina, Kan.
Journal, in which she expressed her
regret that over 100 Journal readers had
canceled their subscriptions after the
newspaper published a wedding announcement for a Gay couple.
Elizabeth Layton's work was exhibited last year at the National Museum
of American Art in D.C.
"As 'citizens of this country ... Gays are
presently treated differently, with unequal
rights., prejudice, and hatred," Layton
wrote. "The issue of unequal rights is a
matter for change in the law. Prejudice
and hatred call for a change in heart"
''The letter really · made my week,"
Journal Editor George Pyle told the
Blade recently. "One Grandma Layton
letter is worth a couple of hundred nasty
ones."
Layton was survived by her husband,
Glenn, as well as three daughters, a son,1
three stepsons, a stepdaughter, 25 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren, according to The Wichita Eagle.

Boston schools health educator
ByTomLong
GLOBE STAFF
Services will be held today for
Joseph (Jay) G. Lodie of Boston, an
AIDS activist, health educator and
mara thon swimmer, who died . of
complications from AIDS Sunday in
his mother's home in Melrose. He
was 38.
Mr. Lodie had been coordinator
for comprehensive health education
and support service initiatives for
the Boston public schools for 15
years. He instructed high-risk urban
youth on AIDS awareness, pregnancy prevention, substance abuse and
violence prevention.
After retiring because of illness
in 1991, he continued to work as a
volun teer speak er, educ ator and
AIDS activist and was a strong advocate of condom distribution in public schools.
He traveled and spoke throughout the state for Planned Parenthood's Hear t to heart Program, introducing himself to public school
children as a person with AIDS.
Mr. Lodie was born in Melrose.
He gradu ated from Nort heast ern
University's School of Public Health
and earned a master's degree in education administration at Lesley College.
In a 1992 Globe interview, he
said: "I felt I was protected because
I was married. . .. everyone in Boston was saying you can only get it if
you went to New York or San Francisco. Denial in the gay community
was very high."
In 1991, he coordinated Pro Visions II, a conference on HIV and
AIDS for health care and education
professionals sponsored by Rhode
Island Project AIDS.
He was keynote speaker for th
AIDS Action Committee Walk fo
Life in 1992 and participated in the

Then, the finger carried a kiss and a prayer to Bear's forehead as the Sewer stitched in grace

"My secret? I get a secret too? I must be very special to get a secret too!" A honey colored paw
reached up to the Sewer's needle.
"Oh yes little bear, you are special, and I love you very much."
"If I get a secret, do I get anything else?" Bear asked.
"Yes, I have sewn in love, kindness and remembrance."
"Remembrance? Don't I have a brain for that?" Bear was confused.
"Oh sure you do, but you will forget many things for a long time."
"I won't forget you." Two arms reached up to the Sewer. The last stitch was taken.
The Sewer lifted the little honey colored bear, embraced it and whispered, "I will be with you always,
although you may forget for a while."
In Bear's excitement, he did not hear.
The honey colored bear with the secret was beautiful. The Sewer delivered the bear into the keeping
of a country family where he would be loved. The little honey colored bear forgot about his secret
the moment his mother held him for the first time.
Everyone loved him! They taught him how to ski on tall mountains in the winter and on clear lakes
in the summer. He learned how to sow seeds in the springtime with his father. How to carve
pumpkins, in the autumn that always seemed to arrive too soon.
"You see this seed son? It has a secret inside. And when it's time, that secret will start pushing from
inside the shell. Pretty soon the shell will break open and let the secret out."

"The secret breaks it! It must be a bad secret. Does it hurt the little seed?" He asked as he touched
the seed with a finger that carried a kiss and a prayer.

�"Well, I... You see the shell sort of dies... we/1... yes, it must hurt, mayb
e just a little. No, it's not a bad
secret, it's a sprout. It's new and alive and it searches for the sunlig
ht from under the soil. "
·How does it know which way is up? What if it forgets?" The young
one was concerned.
"It's the nature of the seed to know. Hit wants to live, it must grow
towards the light. "
"Does it find it's way?" He asked, almost frightened.
"Oh yes! Yes it sure does and it breaks through the ground. When
we see it popping up out of the
dark soil, we jump up and down like this and shout with joy!" Said
his father leaping into the air.
"Maybe the sun calls to it in a voice only the seed can hear." said his
cousin walking up behind the
two planters.
"Don't be silly, this seed doesn 't even have ears!" They all laughed.
The father patted soil over the
seed. It was done with the same love he used when he tucked his
son into bed at night.
Throµgh the years, the honey colored bear and his cousin becam
e good friends. They spent
summers together in the woods by a lake and many snow white Christ
mas Eves in the city.
As teenagers they loved to draw and paint, shop and travel and even
collect antiques. One time he
helped his cousin choose a splendid hand painted china piggy bank
that she would love forever.
Years passed and his cousin married and moved far away. She misse
d the honey colored bear, and
sometimes felt sad because everything was changing. She grew conce

she could sense a deep pain in his voice, but he kept the reason a
secret.
One holiday before their Grandmother died, the two cousins got togeth
er. They went to visit their
Grandmother who was quiet and no longer knew them. That day,
the honey colored bear was as
quiet and distant as their Grandmother. In the silence, his cousin thoug
ht that she finally knew his
secret, perhaps she had known it for years.
"Cousin, at least tell God if you can't tell me." She said, blinking back
tears.
"I don't believe in God anymore.. .let's go." And he lifted a finger that
held a kiss and placed it on his
Grandmother's forehead. His cousin quickly wiped a tear form her face.
As he turned to leave, she
whispered that she would love him always, but in his pain he did not
hear.
Three years passed, and after a long illness, the honey bear died. But
he didn't die with his secret
sewn in. For it slowly pushed it's way out and what he feared the most
never happened. For when
everyone knew the secret, they began to understand. As their under
standing grew, so did their love.
He was able to use his gifts of love and kindness to help others
find the strength to share their
secrets. He endured great pain, yet never complained.
In the end, he remembered a long ago kiss on his forehead and the

, oun er of Gay
education fund, dies at 48
by Darice Clark
Mayo Lee, founder of the Gay and
Lesbian Education Fund (GLEF), died
Monday, October 31, 1994, of AIDS
related complications at his Washington,
D.C. home, according to bis companion
of 15 years, Gregg Crumley of Philadelphia. Lee was 48.
The GLEF is a nonprofit organization
that grew out of the Gay and Lesbian
Activists Alliance (GLAA) in 1979, with
the goal of sponsoring educational projects about the Gay community. The idea
arose out of a lawsuit GLAA won against
the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority when Metro refused to display the
group's pro-Gay public service announcements.
Susan Donahue, currently head of the
Board of Directors for GLEF, said Lee
and other Gay activists at the time were
attempting to raise money for the lawsuit,
and realized there were no organizations
to approach for small grants. Lee and the
activists "saw a need and they filled it,"
said Donahue.
"He was a terrific person," said Christopher Bates who worked with Lee on
GLEF. "He was passionate about the
quality of life for Gay and Lesbian people
in this community. He was very committed to educating people about the Gay and
Lesbian lifestyle in the [D.C.] community, and he highlighted that we all come

Born William Mayo Lee on SepL 28,
1946 in Memphis, Tenn., Lee grew up in
Clarendon, Ark. He received a bachelor's
degree from Washington and Lee in
Lexington, Va. in 1968. He earned a law
degree from the University of Virginia
School of Law in Charlottesville in 1971.
After law school, Lee enlisted in the
U.S. Army where he served within the
Army's Military Intelligence Branch. Lee
left the military in 1973 when he went to
work for the Cost of Living Council
within the Internal Revenue Service.
During the mid-1970s, Lee worked for
the Federal Energy Administration. He
then worked as an attorney for the Energy
Department's Office of General Counsel
from the late 1970s until bis death.
In addition to Crumley, Donahue,
Bates, Howell, Jean, and Daniels, he is

Father of gay son
leaves $450,000
to gay organization
SEATILE (AP) - A fonne
Boeing executive has left $450,000
to the Pride Foundation, the larg
est gift ever bequeathed to a ga
and lesbian community founda
tion, foundation officials believe.
William S. Lambert died March
30, and left $450,000 to the group
in honor of his son Gray Lambert,
who died of AIDS in 1991 at age
33.
"To me, the simple message of
this bequest is the importance of
family, and of honoring the ongoing commitments of those we
love," said Ted Lord, Pride Foundation executive director.
Lambert asked the foundation
to give priority to supporting Lambert House, a Capitol Hill center
for gay and lesbian youth named
for his SOB.
Gray Lambert wilS a former
president of the Association of
Gay and Les ian YoMli Advocates and was a volunteer for the
Seattle Counseling Services for
Sexual Minorities.
"Bill was very supportive of his
son Gray and was very interested
in perpetuating Gray's memory
and the work thatwasofinterestto
Gray," said Doug Lawrence, executor of Lambert's will. "That's
why he left this bequest to Pride,
in further support of what Gray
would have wanted to do."
Arlis Stewart, who helped found
Lambert House, said William
Lambert often attended open
houses at the center after his son
died.
"This is the magnificent thing
that Bill has done," she said. "It
suggests that for a lot of young gay
and lesbian people and adults,
there's increasing family
support. "T

quent uproar was published in the
Maine Times.

Lopes marched in several Gay Pride
marches in Boston.
He was an amateur dancer who
performed in various shows and was
named Mr. Drummer Boy of New
England in 1983. He also laid ou
and planted various gardens

Chauncy H. Lyles Jr., a feisty organizer within the
black and Gay communities, died at Georgetown University Hospital from AIDS related complications on
Friday, June 21, 1996. He was 40 years old. ·
A fifth generation Washingtonian born in f>.C. on
October 8, 1955, Lyles held an enduring~ia tion
as a ferof the District's black cultural history. H
vent Gay activist and organizer known fi his ability
to bridge the gap between the black and Gay communities, and will be remembered for his enthusiasm,
creativity, style, and temper tantnims.
"Chauncy was like something out of a Bette Davis
movie," said Phil Pannell, longtime Gay activist and
Ward 8 civic leader. "He had the type of personality
that would test the sturdiest &et of friends. But when
he had an i~ea in his head, he saw it through to
fruition."
He founded the Remembering U Street Festival in
1993, the annual Christmas In My Soul gospel concerts, the Black Lesbian and Gay Masquerade Gala,
and participated in the first Adams Morgan Day festival. Lyles also redesigned and improved the souvenir
program for Black Lesbian and Gay Pride Day, and
published one of the area's first Black Gay magazines,
The Black Guide.
"He was a builder of bridges,'' said friend and AIDS
activist Greg Hutchings. "He always took different
sides of the community and bridged them together."
Lyles's appreciation of U Street's rich cultural history led to his creation of the annual Remembering U
Street Festival, a yearly salute to the area's renowned
jazz and theater background. It was a testimony to
Lyles's commitment to the black and the Gay black
communities, as he ensured a Gay presence at the festival by inviting the D.C. Coalition to staff an information booth.
Lyles also bolstered support for AIDS service organizations within the black community.
"He was very angry that more black people were
not taking the AIDS epidemic more seriously,'' said
Carlene Cheatam, president of Black Lesbian and Gay
Pride. In 1991 Lyles organized the first annual
"Christmas in My Soul" gospel concert, which combined several area gospel choirs to help raise money
for black AIDS service orgahizations.
''He was an advocate for African American men in
Chauncey Lyles in 1991
terms of AIDS services,'' said Jim Graham, executive
director of the Whitman-Walker Clinic. "He'd call me
about his views and his reactions to things. It was very
constructive."
Lyles for years pushed the clinic to extend into Anacostia. The lobbying paid off when the clinic in 1992
opened its Max Robinson Center.
But the "bridges'' Lyles built were shaky at best,
some say, as he was forever burning them.
"Chauncy had demons that got in the way," said
Michael Saint-Andress, performance artist and AIDS
activist. He said Lyles was known to cause scenes at
his well-attended fundraisers by blowing up at someone during them. Saint-Andress said he forgave Lyles
because of his obvious devotion to the Gay and black
communities.
"Until the day he died, he was part of the struggle,''
he said: At a recent fundraiser in Lyles's honor, for example, Lyles stuffed hundreds of envelopes for the U
Street Festival while friends, adversaries, and acquaintances each went to the microphone and spoke about
the controversial organizer.
"Everyone pretty much said that he was a pain in
the ass, but that you gotta love him,'' said Sheila Reid,
who worked with Lyles on the Black Pride souvenir
guide. "He just sat there and nodded his head. He
Knew 1t was all true. But he kept stuffing those envelopes and made sure other people helped. That's
how he was; forever pushing on."
Those who knew Lyles will likely have two Chauncy
Lyles stories, said Pannell; a positive and a negative
one. Cheatam, for example, said Lyles brought the
Black Pride souvenir program "to another level" by
making it "bigger, better, and more expansive."
"There were times when Chauncy was a charmer,
but there were times when he was a devil,'' she said.
"You never knew who he was going to be."
Renowned poet Dolores Kendrick remembers Lyles
as a "creative and enthusiastic student" when she once
served as his junior high school teacher.
"I saw his creativity and his potential,'' she said, recalling how Lyles worked with her on a film that focused on students in the inner city. "He was very faithful and loyal [to the project]. He seemed to have an ur·
gent creativity in him."
his illness, Lyles was proud and fiercely inDuring
dependent. And although he criticized the black community's silence around. the AIDS crisis, in the end, he
~ownplayed his own struggle with the disease.
"He downplayed ... his pain in his last days,'' said
Saint-Andress.
Lyles one rainy night left his hospital bed to make
his way to a bar he frequented on U Street.
"It was nothing to go into a club and see Chauncy
all frail and gaunt, sipping a drink and smoking a cigarette," said Pannell. "He didn't want to be alone."
Lyles is survived by his mother, Ernestine Leake
Lyles of D.C.; three sisters, Saundra C. Jenkins of
Richmond, Va., Patricia D. Matthews, and Sheila M.
Darnell, both of Mitchellville, Md.; one brother, Victor
C. Lyles; grandmother Mary Leake, both of D.C.; and
many other relatives and friends.
A memorial service was held in D.C. on June 27.
His remains will be cremated and the ashes wiJl be

"He wasn't an easy person to love,'' said Cheatam.
"He challenged you. He pissed you off. But people
will miss him. His creative abilities were unmeasured
by anyone I have seen in the Gay and Lesbian community. I loved him very much."

something sooner."
Moments later, she pinned a threeby-six-foot panel honoring her brother, who died last year at the age of 32,
alongside those for Andrew J. Stone,
who also died last year, and Peter
Quinn Lougbl1n, who died in March.
Since the AIDS quilt was last unfurled in its entirety four years ago,
around the base of the Washington
Monument, it bas grown to more
than 37,000 panels, adorned with
keenly personal memorabilla like
dog_tags, blue Jeans and a brunette
wtg. It stretches 11 blocks along the
Mall, from the Washington Monument to the Capitol. It ls so large that
visitors were directed to five different subway stations, depending on
which panels they wished to see.
And the showing of the quilt was
only one of dozens of events here this
weekend in which gay-rights groups
and AIDS service organizations
demonstrated their growing visibility, even as they lamented their virtu·
al absence from the Presidential
campaign. Around the capital, they
gathered under many banners.

that it also "symbolizes tragic

No matter how one regards the

�met Karl Lange in 1994
on my first day as a
volunteer counselor at
Paul Newman's Hole in the
Wall Gang, a camp in
Connecticut for kids with -HIV
and other serious diseases. He
was 12 years old, three weeks
out of the hospital after a
battle with pneumonia and
spending the first night of his
life away from his mother, Pat.
(By then, Karl was an HIV vet.
having contracted the disease
· from a transfusion as a
toddler.) The next evening, he
was rushed to the hospital
with a fever of 105. Over the
phone, he asked
me two questions:
What did the guys
in the bunkhouse
say? And would he
be able to return
to camp to swim?
I didn't speak
to Karl again for
four years; this was my loss,
because I missed seeing him
live life during those years the
way it is supposed to be lived.
In seventh grade, he got
tired of lying to his best friend,
and let the local newspaper
tell northeastern Pennsylvania
he had HIV. An X-Files fanatic,
he traveled to fan conventions
nationwide. He became a
mechanical whiz, fixing all
things in the house. He decorated his room with Michael
Jordan and Cindy Crawford
posters, and begged his parents
for an all-terrain vehicle.
But this past May, his blood
pressure dropped suddenly.
Doctors told Pat Lange they
could insert a tube into his
lungs to keep him breathing.
"That's when I said enough
was enough," she said. "Karl
and I had talked about what
we wanted, and I told them
they were not going to cut my
little boy." Karl died on May 27.
"Now we wish he was around
to tell us how all the gadgets
in the house work," Pat Lange
said. -Matt Futterman

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

�BRIANK EUEY
11/11/5 7 - 7 /25/89
BI1an Kelley was a shy and quiet person. He taught us
by his deeds. He dJdn't waste words; he Just dug m
and helped those around him. One cannot think of
Brtan without thinking of how he helped each of us.
He was always ready to pitch m without having to be
asked. To put 1t mildly, BI1an was a rare 1ndiv1dual.
It's easy to say that Brtan loved others more than
himself. He was unselfish with his tlme and was
always looldng to share some fun. Even when Brian
became ill. he was rarely depressed. He always gave
more than he rece1ved and never regretted any of his
actions.
BI1an's early life was not an easy one but he used this
experience to make his adult life, a life of personal
fulfillment BI1an held a special love for his nieces and
nephews. It would be dJftlcult to find any Uncle more
lovfng and gtvmg. Even when he was broke and mhe
t:ried to make everyone feel special. There really is no
way to describe how gMng and loving BI1an was
towards those with whom he shared his time. Each of
us knew that we were Important If Brtan chose to
share a moment with us. And this was even more true
as he began to loose his strength.
In May of this year Bl1an and Ken celebrated their
10th .Anniversary. There is no one who knew Brtan
better or loved hfm more than Ken Their life together
may not have been picture pelfect. It may not have
been the lifestyle that others would have understood or
approved of. but it was a life that Brtan most dearly
1oved. Brian 1oved his musk: and the arts. He loved
concerts and travel and felt as one with nature.
Bl1an's philosophy of love and life can easily be
swmned up by what he said to Ken when they began
their relatlonsh1p. BI1an quoted the poem "Do not try
to lead me, for I shall not follow, Do not try to follow I
me, for I shall not lead. Just walk beside me and be
my friend.· And now, after walking beside Ken and all
of us BI1an has gone on ahead, and we cannot follow.
He was much too young to make this Journey but he 1
now walks beside God. Bl1an recently sought God's
help for his new Journey. 1banks to Father Savage,
Brtan had made his peace with God. Toward the end ,
of Brtan's earthly Journey, his faith grew as his bcxly
weakened.
In the end he said not to weep for him. He said to
listen and we would hear his voice fn the wind. He
said to look for his face m the clouds and we will see
hfm, and he said that we would find his spirit m the
flowers of the fields.
Although the world w1D not mJss or mourn his passing, we w1D each cany part of hJm within us. Ifwe live
our lives with Just some of his ideals, BI1an w1D not be
forgotten and the world w1D be a better place for his
havfng passed this way. Good-bye. Brtan, we love you.

Keith compulsively collected most anything. While others were tossing out, Keith was gather·

to make his collages and assembl~s. He had a passion for collage. His creations epitomized
h is dedication to recycling.
Keith was warmly direct. He found value in most everyone. He approached most anyone, anywhe re, at anytime. He was not put off by external appearance. His open, friendly manner disarmed pretense and allowed for easy conversation and play. Quite tactile, he often enveloped
you in long happy bear hugs, sometimes gaily groping anc;! squeezing.
He was dedicated to helping people. He donated much time and energy to organizing fundraisings for groups such as the AIDS Emergency Fund and the Opera Supernumeraries.
He worked at Just Desserts Bakery, where he was much liked and encouraged to rescue hundreds of unsold pastries, feeding them to the Homeless, Opera Sups, the Muscle Sisters, his art
patrons, the pigs, his friends ...

Ah, his friends, his many friends so eclectic they were, yet he always devoted time and affections to each and every one. Keith was most loving. He was no snob.
His humor was irresistable: using his fabulous fu ll red beard to describe Lana Tu er riding

Suit Denied Over Failure to Tell
Partner About AIDS Test Result
NEWARK, Nov. 3 (AP) - A Federal judge ruled today tl'aat a man
whose male lover concealed having
AIDS was betrayed, but cannot collect damages from the man's estate
because he did not show •'severe emotional distress."
Tests on the surviving partner indicate that he does not have the virus
that causes AIDS.
Federal District Judge H. Lee Sarokin appeared sympatheti c to the survlvor, identified only as J.B., writing
that a "person who knowingly has
AIDS has a duty to disclose it and
take the steps necessary to protect
against its transmissio n to others."
Despite the •'duplicity" of the Al DS ,
victim, the judge ruled that J. B. ;
"presented no competent evidence of
severe emotional distress" and he

of decisions by Federal appeals courts
had given health plans wide leeway to
refuse payment for AIDS and other

The Supreme Court refused to hear
an appeal last year of a ruling that
upheld the right of a Houston music

commission on behalf of two men with
AIDS whose coverage had been reduced to $5,000 from $300,000. The fund,
an insurer for 20 California companies,
agreed to pay $10,000 in damages to the
men and restore full coverage.
In a related case in Baltimore, the
commission sued a teamsters union
welfare fund last month on behalf of
Harry Johnson Jr., a former employee
of a food distributor, who said the fund
had denied him health benefits because
he had AIDS. Luther West,·a lawyer for

�Dr. Step~e»_J9-itsick,
well-known veterinarian
Dr. Stephen M. Kritsick, a
veterinarian who served as
animal science editor on
ABC's "Good Morning America," died yesterday of AIDSrelated lymphoma at his
parents' home in Lexington.
He was 42.
Dr. Kritslck announced on
television In October that he
had contracted the disease.
"When he finally got fullblown AIDS In June, he
wanted to devote his ener. gies to becoming a spokes~~".:.iP! person for AIDS," said Dr.
Kritsick's companion, Art
Campbell. "Unfortunately,
time didn't permit him to do
that."
Dr. Kritsick reflected on
his life and his illness In a
Dec. 24 interview with "Good
Morning America" medical
correspondent Dr. Nancy
Snyderman. It was his final
appearance on the program.
"He wanted to try to do the
same thing he had done with
animals and pet care, pet
needs, and just make people
aware through the media
and through his writing the
difficulties of living with
AIDS in our society, and how
K
.
it could happen to anybody,"
Mr. Campbell said yesterday.

Gary Ka/kin, 44, ls Dead;
Top Disney Studio Executive
/- "-"T.S
By BERNARD WEINRAUB
Specbil to The New York Times
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 7 - Gary Kaikin, a top marketing executive at the
Walt Disney Studios for the last 10
years who guided the campaigns for
such blockbusters as "Beauty and
the Beast," "Aladdin," and "The
Lion King," died on Friday at his
home in Los Angeles. He was 44.
the cause was AIDS; said his companion, Laurence Mark, a film produter.
As senior vice president of domestic marketing for Buena Vista Pictures Marketing, Mr. Kalkin supervised promotion, advertising and
publicity campaigns for the three
major film divisions at Disney.
These are Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures as well as the Disney
label, which releases animated and
children's films. Mr. Kalkin also
played a strategic and creative role
in promoting Disney's Broadway
stage version of "Beauty and the
Beast.''
Jeffrey Katzenberg, former chairman of Walt Disney studios, said
that Mr. Kalkin was not only the
marketing force behind Disney's animated hits, but that he also guided
the campaigns for such non-animated successes as "Down and Out in
Beverly Hills," "Good Morning,
Vietnam," "Who Framed Roger
Rabbit" and "Pretty Woman." Despite his illness, Mr. Kalkin helped
supervise the marketing of "The
Santa Clause," the Tim Allen comedy that emerged as one of the most
successful films of 1994.
One of the most respected marketing executives in Hollywood, and a
mentor to younger executives at Disney and other studios, Mr. Kalkin
was a low-keyed, unflamboyant and

blunt-spoken executive whose management style was unusual in Hollywood. He delegated considerable authority to junior executives and personally worked on a select group of
films that were either difficult to
market or personal favorites.
He successfully pressed reluctant
Disney executives to release such
films as "The Joy Luck Club," and
"Green Card" gradually, in order to
build audience momentum. Until
then, Disney had traditionally released its movies nationally on a
single day.
Laurence Mark, 1994
For the film "Beauty and the
Beast," Mr. Kalkin's strategy was
to show moviegoers and critics that
the animated musical went far beyond traditional Disney cartoons
and should be viewed on the same
level as a live-action musical appealing to adults as well as children.
Under Mr. Kalkin Disney took the
unusual step - which they have
since repeated on "Aladdin" and
"The Lion King" - of showing incomplete scenes from the film to
moviegoers, journalists and critics.
'Ille strategy also involved showing
the incomplete film at the New York
Film Festival, a risky move that
proved successful because it created
intense interest from an audience
that traditionally ignored animation.
Mr. Kalkin shaped the highly successful campaign for "Who Framed
Roger ~abbil," a difficult film to
market because. of its blend of animation and live action.
Mr. Kalkin rarely associated with
movie stars or executives, and surrounded himself with only a small
· circle of friends. He was known as a
compulsive giver of gifts, and his
dinner guests received evetything
from Baccarat crystal to T-shirts
from flop Disney films. Partly to nee
Gary Kalkin
the world of Hollywood, he traveled
several times a year to London,
Paris, Hawaii and New York.
Mr. Kalkin was born in Brooklyn,
and was graduatoo from Brooklyn
College. He earned a masters degree
in cinema studies at New York University.
In the 1970's, he entered the movie
business working as apress agent in
the New York offices of United Artists. He then went into business on
his own, handling "Saturday Night
Fever" and other movies. Mr. Kaikin moved to Los Angeles in 1978 to
handJe the publicity for "Grease,''
one of the highest-grossing films of
the 1970's, and worked on such films
as "American Gigolo," "Staying
Alive" and "Nine to Five."
Before joining the Disney studios
in 1985 as vice president of publicity
for Walt Disney pictures, Mr. Kalkin
was the vice president in charge of
West Coast operations for MIS Billings Publcity. There he handled such
clients as John Travolta, Robert
DeNiro and Martin Scorsese.
He is survived by his sister, Marlene Bernstein of Coral Springs, Fla.,
and Mr. Mark.
Michael Paul Kudis
Michael Paul Kudis, age 51, died peacefully at home in Chelsea on Jan. 16 from
complications due to AIDS. Born March
11, 1943, he was the son of the late
Blanche Bajgot Kudis and Walter Kudis.
Throughout his life, Michael worked
many various jobs in and around the
Boston and Cambridge areas.
Michael is su~ived by many friends
and relatives; his friends of more than 20
years, John Duguay and John Podolske
of Chelsea; his close friend, John P. Osler
of Hyde Park; and his lover of eight years,
David J. Tavis, Jr., of Chelsea.
A funeral mass was celebrated on Jan.
18 and Michael was buried in a Cambridge cemetery with his mother.

Michael Kerwin
On Dec. 30, 1994 Michael Kerwin lost
his long battle with AIDS. Michael leaves
his spouse Stephen, his father and stepmother Marie, his four sisters [Linda,
Donna, Kathy and Annie], three brothers-in-law, several nieces, a nephew,
many friends, and his pet, the retired
Greyhound Toni.
Michael was remembered in a mass at
St. Christine's in Marshfield on Wednesday, January 4, 1995. Family and friends
gathered to share stories of his life, and
from them, we learned that Michael had
been mischievous all of his life.
For the past three years, Michael lived
with his spouse Stephen Kovacev, who
provided him with inexhaustible and constant loving care.
We will never forget Michael's terrifi-
cally twisted sense of humor, his wit, his
sexy voice, his good looks, and his nonjudgmental character. We are grateful for
the 41 years Michael was given, and we
are saddened it had to end.
A celebration of Michael 's life will be
held oq Saturday, Feb. 4, 1995 at Upstairs
At the Pudding in Harvard Square at
Cambridge. The Memorial will begin at
four o ' clock p.m. with a Reception following from 5 p.m. until 7p.m. R.S.V.P.

Jim Kerley spent bis youth in the

Puerto Rico and
camping-out under

But some of his
happiest days were
spenl walking on
the SUMY side of

Jim arrived in
San Francisco in
the late 1970s to
pursue his an,
inspired by bis life
long friend Lawrence Calgano.
Although painting was always closest to
bis heart, public art was his real
strength. Jim performed as a clown on
Pier 39, helped put up billboard shows
on Market Street; was the gatekeeper at
the Tea Garden and spent years trying to
perfect the imperfectible Parade
Committee.
Jim knew the greats, near greats and
would-be greats of the local political
scene. He danced at Harvey Milk's
inauguration and marched with a candle
down Market Street after Harvey's
death. Jim protested the lack of funding
for AIDS research, marched on
Washington and helped storm the State
Building.
Jim was an artist, a street activist, a
healer and a clown. His life made a difference. In very private and public ways
Jim helped build our community. We

passing is a great loss.

NEW YORK - Christopher Keene, 48, general miii;;fnio
York City Opera since 1989, died Sunday at New Yen &spit.al
The cause of his death was complialtions from lymphoma arising
from AIDS, said opera spokeswoman Susan Woelzl.
Keene disclosed publicly in August what bad been rumored in music
c:in:les, that he had been IIlV-positive for a decade or more. His
lymphoma was diagnosed in February.
On Sept. 7, he conducted the New York City Opera's opening-night
opera, "Mathis der Maler," with
and energy.
.
He was applauded long and warmly when he stepped onst.age before
the performance to make a witty speech about the evening's title role.
Two tenors recovering from ailments perfurmed Mathis, one acting on
stage and one singing from the orchestra pit.
Keene began his association with the New York City Opera in 1969
as recipient of the first Julius Rudel Award, grant.ed to ff- young
American to develop opera administrative and managerial skills.
He made his conducting debut at the New York City Opera in 1970
with Ginastera's "Don Rodrigo." He conducted more than 300 perf<rmances of more than 50 operas for the company including the world

Description
An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

Larry Josephs, 34,
'
Writer About AIDS,
Di'J'J'!{$~$pisease
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
Larry Josephs, a writer who de-
scribed his harrowing, day-to-day
atrugle against AIDS with journalistic
detachment and clarity in two articles
for The New York Times Magazine,
died SUnday evening at his brother's
home in Freeport, L.I.
Mr. Josephs, who was 34 years old,
died of complications from AIDS, his
mother said.
In the second article, published in
November 1990, Mr. Josephs described
waking up after surgery for a collapsed
lung in April 1990, the first seriously
debilitating complication of the disease
that he experienced. "My future, which
~d been receding into the shadows
these many weeks, now seemed to be
disappearing at high speed." He recovered, and was able to return to work for
about a year.
Mr. Josephs was the public relations
director of the New York State Urban
Development Corporation from 1988
until last July. A graduate of Brown
University, he began his journalism
career as a news assistant at The New
York Times In 1980. Mr. Josephs
worked as a reporter at The Miami
Herald In 1983 and returned to The New
York Times In 1985 as a news assistant
on the editorial page.
Diagnosed in 1187
Mr. Josephs first learned that he was
infected with the virus that causes
AIDS In 1987, when he agreed to take
an H.I.V. test while participating in a
psychological study by Columbia
versity on the reaction of healthy Unigay
men to the AIDS epidemic.
Soon thereafter, Mr. Josephs became
a voracious student of the disease, ex.ploring medical avenues with the same
spirited zeal with which he had once
sought jobs and an affordable Manhattan apartmenL He placed himself into
what were then experimental treatments, such as the drug dideoxyinosine, or DDI. He also rediscovered his
Catholic faith.
His second article in The Times Magazine ended with these words: "But if
there is one lesson I have learned over
the past six months, it is the lesson of
powerlessness. You see, there Is noth-
Peter Edmu ndJon es
September 1.4, 1959 - May 18, 1992
Peter was rewarded his final rest on May
18 with his lover, Barry, and family by his
side at his home in Cambridge.
After moving to Boston from upstate New
York in 1986, Peter spent seveml years working in fine restaurants throughout Boston and
Cambridge.
After being diagnosed wilh AIDS in 1988,
Peter actively involved himself in AIDS care
and research. During 1989-1990, PeLCr was
chosen to develop New England's School of
Acupuncture's new program, AIDS Care
Project on Clarendon Street.
Peter devoted all his time and energy in
finalizing details and renovating lhe physical
site. During May of 1990 lhroughJ une, 1991,
Peter served as director for the AIDS Care
Project (A.C.P.). Peter was known for his
great energy, resourcefulness, and determination in keeping lhe clinic and its services
available to all who needed it. Peter was an
active spokesperson for AIDS care, funding
and alternative medicine for PW As.
Peter will also be remembered for his
wonderful humor, unconditional love for
Barry, his family, countless friends, and for
being an accomplished musician.

And Disco Songwriter, Is Dead
Marty James, 38, Dies;
A Counselor on AIDS:

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Jan. 5
(AP) - Marty James, a counselor who
said ·on national television that he
helped people with AIDS commit suicide, took his own life after battling the
disease, a friend said. He was 38 years
old.
Mr. James died on Dec. 25 at his
West Hollywood home after taking
sleeping pills, his companion, Steven
Kanengiser, said over the weekend.
"The pain became unmanageable,"
Mr. Kanengiser said.
On March 31, 1988, on ABC's " Nightline," Mr. James described how he
helped a friend with AIDS-related complex end his life by mixing a lethal dose
of barbiturates in a glass of grape
juice.
''He had lived a very good life and he
wanted a very good death," Mr. James
said on the news show, noting that he,
too, had the disease.
Mr. James later said he helped at
least eight men with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome commit
suicide over five years.
Survivors accused him of murder,
but prosecutors declined to file criminal charges, saying their investigations
turned up no evidence beyond Mr.
James's statements.
· In 1983, Mr. James helped found the
Los Angeles chapter of the Shanti
Foundation, which trains volunteer
counselors to work with AIDS patients.
Mr. James left the organization in 1985
and worked as a private counselor onterminal illness. The Shanti group disavowed his views on assisted sukide.

If you could see me now
I'm walking streets of gold
Ifyou could see me now
I'm standing tall and whole
If you could see me now
You'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain is erased
You wouldn't want me
To ever leave this place
If you could only see me now
My light and temporary trails
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows
They can never compare
What Jesus has in store for us
No language can share
You wouldn't want me
To ever leave this perfect place

DaveJ ohnson ,appoi ntedth efirst
AIDS coordi nator for the city of Los
Angeles, died ofcomplications from
AIDS Thursday, Octob er 27 at Chris
Brownlie Hospice. He was surround ed by family and friends . He
is survived by his father Russell
Johns on; step-m other Conni e
Johnso n; sister Kimberly Johnso n;
and brothe r C.Ourtney Dane.
A native of Los Angeles, Dave
Johnso n's activism began in the
emerging Gay liberation movem ent
of the early-70s. He was a memb er
of the youth group of the original
Metropolitan C.Ommunity Church
congre gation in downt own Los
Angeles in 1971, and served as
youth group coordi nator at the
newly fonned GayC.OmmunityServices Center downt own the following year. In 1973 he began two
years in the leader ship of th
Gay Studen ts Union, spearh eading
the recognition and funding of that
group (now GALA, the Gay and
Lesbian Alliance) by the university,
and creating such erogra m~
speake rs bureau , on-cam pus office, hotline and counse ling program, and the annua l Gay and
Lesbian Awareness Wee k- programs which are still serving UCLA's Gay and Lesbian studen ts today.
'
During those years, he spoke at
many of the early Gay and Lesbian
pride rallies, and organi zed a number of demonstrations, primarily
against bar discrimination based
on race and gender , and against
anti-Gay police harassment. He
spoke at the candle light march
against Anita Bryant's attack on
Gay rights legislation in 1977. He
also worke d as a report er and essayist for the LosAngelesFreePress.
He return ed to political involvement when the AIDS crisis began to
decim ate his community, and his
own life. In 1986, his lover Lonnie
Richardsdiedofcomplicationsfrom
AIDS. The next year, one of his
closestfriends, GaryClark, followed.
Shortly after that, he himself was
diagno sed with AIDS-Related C.Omplex (ARC).
In 1987, he becam e the first executive director of Being Alive/

�Diln JolinsOn Dies at 46
by Dennis Conkin
Don Johnson, whose extraordinary talent as a producer raised
millions of dollars for Bay Area
AIDS and gay organizations, died
peacefully of AIDS at his home the
night of Friday, November 3. He
was 46.
Born in Alhambra, California
in 1949, Johnson was a versatile
and talented performer. He moved
to San Francisco in 1978 and attended the American Conservatory
Theatre, but soon discovered that
he loved producing more than performing.
In the early 1980s Johnson
founded Sterling Productions and
began a legacy of assistance to
scores of community groups and
agencies including the AIDS
Emergency Fund; the Center For
AIDS Services; AIDS Project of
Contra Costa County; Maitri AIDS
Hospice; Shanti Project; the San
Francisco AIDS Foundation; the
Women's Cancer Resource Cen-
ter; Horizons Foundation; Gay
Games; the Lesbian and Gay Chorus; and other groups.
Johnson also served on the
Board of Directors of the AIDS
Emergency Fund and on the honorary board of the Cable Car
Awards.
"Don was such an inspiration,"
said former AEF president Rick
Salinas. "He was a hard worker
who had an instinct about people
that was amazing. And he had such
great creativity and compassion."
Like all artists, Johnson could
be temperamental and did not suffer fools gladly, Salinas said, but
"he had a great heart and if he was
your friend, you had no better
friend."
Johnson's productions included
"You and The Night and the
Music," a memorable evening of
cabaret at the Fairmont; "Twentytwo on the Red," an evening of
casino gaming, dancing and entertainment; the Bay Area Reporter's
1989 benefit San Francisco ~ra
production of the Kirov Ballet in
Sleeping Beauty; the 1991 American Ballet Theatre AIDS benefit
for the Bay Area Reporter's 20th
anniversary; and numerous other
events.
'Pulth eplece s ........ ...
In acknowledgment of his outstanding community service Johnson was named co-grand marshal
of the 1992 Lesbian and Gay Freedom Day Parade, an honor he said
left him embarrassed.
"I'm really quite embarrassed
about this grand marshal business,"
he said in an interview with Examiner columnist Stephanie Salter.
"I mean as cliched as this may
be, I've done absolutely nothing
but put the pieces together."
In the last few months of his
life, Johnson knew great peace, according to his close friend John
Gutierrez.
"Don suffered no pain and went
peacefully on to new endeavors. In
the last months, Don knew great

Another friend is gone. Another fellow has been lost to
AIDS. And one whose path crossed that of Daniel Johann
will remember him as a-warm and energetic being. He was
easy to like, comfortable to be with. He had a way of
making you feel as if he had been your friend forever.
He was able to manifest a genuine presence in life and
helped to show his friends that the healing process begins
with the heart. His smile, his German accent, his humor, his
radiance will be remembered and missed. Daniel passed
from this life April 7, 1996, in his home town of Seattle,

We will all miss Robert. esp«ially
those of us at Hamburser Mary's. He always came to work with a smile and a
new hat to wear on the line. He wun't a
chef; he was a cook.
Robert was the best -clean, folded
apron on, ready to go with spatula in
hand. He performed easily over a bot
always smiling that smile. He loved
when it got busy and the music got
uder over the aowd of people that
would come to eat his cooking.
Robert found his way to his beloved
home of San Francisco from Houston,
Texas. It must have been too slow a pace
for him back in Texas because Robert
liked to go fast! Whether it be on the
cook's line or on his motorcycle, Robert
could keep up with any speed giffll to
him.
Even up to his untimely death,
Robert lived his life to the fullesr. He
was loved by all, from the janitor to the
customer to the postman, but especially
by his friends here at Mary's.

meant to Joe, but he knew that you would take care of Mark. Bobby, all I can
say is that you are truly a miracle. Mary Jane, how really lucky he was to have
you not only as his mother but as his friend because you were always there,
ALWAYS. Vic, thanks for the twinkle you put in his eyes his last birthday.
There will be a Celebration of Joe's Life Sunday August 11 at 7:00 pm.

sure that some of you do come by and share it with his friends and family.
Joe, Ithaca gave you the marvelous Journey, without her you wouldn't
have set out, She has nothing left to give you now. Good..bye and thanks for
loving me unconditionally.

AARON
HUNTER
JONES
Musician
1966-1996
Aaron (Sean) was born at sunrise on May 18, 1966 with
heroin in his veins, and Aaron Hunter Jones died at sunset on
August 2, 1996 with heroin in his veins.
On February 13, 1969, he made history (at the age of 2 )
by being the first child in the United States to be adopted by a
single man. His first month of life was spent in San Francisco
General Hospital withdrawing from drugs in his mother's womb,
and the next two years compounded his troubles in a negligent,
abusive foster home. Until he was 18, He was loved and cared for
by his father, his family, his teachers, his therapists, and a very
large loving array of adopted gay aunts and uncles. They all
found that love and care can make a difference, but sometimes it
just isn't enough.
He was an outstanding child, brilliant and adorable with
Paul Newman blue-gray eyes; reading books by the time he was
3112, playing the piano at 5, and creating music by the time he
was 7. Everyone fell in love with him.
But his mother's heroin habit had done irreparable damage, and as an adult his demon "voices" screamed for more
drugs. My bright, funny, handsome, warm and loving son was victimized as a fetus and given an early death. penalty for something
~ did not cause or choose.
Many of us are suffering the loss of this charming, polite,
enthusiastic, wonderful man. We will share this deep pool of grief
at the Swedenborgen Church, Lyon at Washington Street, San
Francisco, on Sunday, August 25, 1996, at 4:00 p.m. Reception to
follow.
If you knew Aaron, please join us. If you loved Aaron we need you there.
Donations in his name to ·sunny Hills• - 300 Sunny Hill Drive,

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

�My friends who died have left me an inspired legacy.
hen I moved to ew York City from
Iowa in 1978, I thought I had leapt
the highest hurdle of my life-coming out of the closet. Once I accepted-even embraced-my sexuality,
I imagined everything else would
be easy. I was 19. I approached each
day with enormous hope and anticipation as I explored the many
neighborhoods, cultures and people ofmy new home.
What I experienced, where I traveled and whom
I met reinforced my enthusiasm. I can vividly
remember hearing of someone especially interesting or attractive or accomplished and thinking,
Oh, I haven't met him (or her) yet. It seemed to me
that everyone lived in or came to New York City;
I raced all over town, bouncing among different
social and professional spheres, anxious to know
them all. Part social climbing, for sure, but mostly
a sense of exuberant urgency to fulfill my dreams
in the greatest city on earth.
o matter how many years pass, this history is
never far from me. I had thought coming out of the
closet was the greatest challenge of my life. I was
wrong. I had thought I was making friendships with
people whose company I would enjoy for decadesdrifting into o ld age with a familiar group of longtime pals. I was wrong again.
Today, I remain haunted by the painting, dance
and music we will never experience, the literature
we will never read,
the political and
spiritual leadership we will never
know. I mourn
the pain of every
child, lonely, confused and frightened, who has lost one or both parents to AIDS,
every homeless, mentally ill or addicted person trying to hold the tiny scraps of his or her life together while at the same time combating HIV. I mourn
the thousands of young men and women-now
mo tly African American-who acquire the virus
sexually, from men, because of an AIDS bureaucracy and funding paradigm that won't protect them.
A selfish part of my decision to publish
POZ was that I wished to record the history-my history-that was quickly disappearing with each new death. I never
want my own life and the lives of my
friends and contemporaries to become
invisible. And as the future unfolds, new
stories get told, and more history is
at risk of vanishing. But now this history
is most often among the poor and the silent.
In David Drake's one-person play, The Night Larry
Krarner Kissed J the audience weeps for the anonyvle,
mous men and women who have died: "You who were
never famous, never counted, never quoted, never
seen. Nobody." But, David continues, they were all
"somebody" because each was loved.
We can never know if someone who died of AIDS
might have, as the cliche goes, "cured cancer or
achieved world peace," but it doesn't matter. What
we do know is that all of us have certainly lost someone who could have brightened our day today.
Someone who could be holding our hand right now,
or comforting or cuddling us tonight. Right now,
millions of people all over the globe would give anything to be reunited- even for a moment-with
someone they have loved and lost .
We have been profoundly impoverished, collectively and individually, by two decades of horrendous deaths. But we only further impoverish our- I
selves if we fail to keep the memories and dreams
alive. That is why memorials, like the Names Project
Quilt and the AIDS Memorial Grove, are almost primal. They remind us, sustain us and allow us to show
respect for what we have lost.
My friends who have died-not al1 of AIDS--have
left me an inspired legacy of hope, ambition, faith
and love. I think of them often, painfully fantasizing
about what they would be doing today, what they
would have to say, how we might be enjoying one
another's company and lives.
I don't cry easily, but the final scene in Craig Lucas'
Longtime Companion, in which each and every one of
the dead are brought back to life at a celebration on 1
the beach, always brings tears to my eye . If there is a
heaven, that's what I want it to be. Here are the names
of some of those closest whom I hope to find there:

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

lover and son to AIDS. Kirt Hegge
on February 8, 1990 at Brigham and
Women's Hospital, Boston.
A talented architect, a soulful artist and
extraordinary spirit, Kirk provided those
close to him with a constant source of
strength and insight. His sense of humor
3:11d vitality catalyzed his journey through
life. Undaunted by his malaise, Kirk
pushed and challenged himself until the
end, thus giving inspiration to those
around him.
His passing calls to remind us of his
visionary ways. Kirk absorbed and studied
life with a passion that few could match.
He was a proponent of studying human
nature, asking questions and sharing opinions. His didactic sensibility was clearly
demonstrated in the many architectural
projects in which he was involved.
It is with great sadness and despair that
he is survived by his parents George and
Gloria Hegge of Williston, North Dakota·
his sister Marri, of Wyoming; sister Kim:
berly of Texas; his younger brother,
Jonathon of Minnesota; and his uncle
Hjalmer Hegge of California. Kirk als~

�Dick How ard
"I am a beautiful man inside and out,
worthy of my recovery, a born-again human being, and a gay man." These are
words proudly spoken at thousands of 12step program meetings by Dick Howard,
who died suddenly on February 15 of a
pulmonary embolism. Dick was wellknown and well-loved locally as one of the
most inspiring success stories of the recovery program.
Dick, 55, came from Portland, Maine
and attended Bates College. After he came
to Boston about 15 years ago, he joined
Alcoholics Anonymous and began to
change his life through that and other 12step programs. Since 1977, Dick worked
as a guard at the faculty entrance to
Widener Library at Harvard. Dick helped
out on holidays at homeless shelters and
old age homes. He participated in the annual From All Walks of Life fundraising
walk, proclaiming "I'm a registered walker
on the road to recovery." He was also a
member of Dignity Boston, the organization for gay/lesbian/bisexual Catholics.
At Dignity Boston, Dick often served
a greeter. "You'd always know when
as
Dick was at the door because everybody
got a big hug and a big hello. He was
truly glad to see you, glad to be there, and
he made you feel glad to be t~ere, too,"
said Dignity spokesperson Al Petras.
Anyone who knew Dick soon was
caught up in his enthusiasm for the Jocal
professional and Harvard sports teams. A
good friend who often attended games with
Dick said, "At games, Dick would only
yell positive things at the players. He
BJ.chard. Horovitz, 44
would make friends with everyone sitting
near him. Dick had no l~ls. he accepted
everyone as they were. Sports taught him
to be a team player. He played his part and
didn't control others. He was definitely
part of the team in many communities."
The shocking news of Dick's death
spread quickly to hundreds of his friends
and admirers, many of whom pitched in to.
locate his family and make arrangements.
Said Al Petras, "Dick was brought to his
final resting place by the community he
so loved. It is a community act of love."
Funeral services were held by Dignity at
St. John the Evangelist Church in Boston
on February 20.
As Dick's program buddy stated, "He
gave of himself freely yet he made us feel
that we were doing him a favor just by being ourselves. 1be Red Sox have surely
lose their biggest fan and we have lost a
a
true friend.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Crysta
SAN FRANCISCO - Halston,
the celebrity fashion designer
whose creations included gowns
for Liza Minnclli and pillbox
hats for Jacqueline Kennedy,
died Monday night a t the Pacific Medical Center from AIDSrelated lung cancer. He was 57.
Halston, which was the designer's middle name, became
one of the best-known labels in
fashion and changed the way
women dressed in the 19608, but
he sold the rights to his name in
1973 for $16 million, creating a
tangle that diluted his influence.
The hospital said in a statement that Halston died Monday
at 11:22 p.m. from "Kaposi's sarcoma involving the lungs."
Halston became a · pre-eminent American fashion designer
in the 1960s, numbering the first
lady, Minnclll and Lauren Ba·
call among his clients. He also
became a jct-set figure and regular wit~ Minnclli, Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger and the rest

HALSTON
In 1966. Bergdorf Goodman
formed the first boutique showcasing designs by Halston, particularly those in the ready-~
wear category.
Halston's designs won him
four Coty fashion awards and a
niche in the Coty Ha ll of Fame.
Halston established his own
couture salon in 1968 and in 1972
launched a boutique as well as
Halston Originals, a division of
ready-to-wear clothing that was
made availa ble to department
stores across the United States.

created a new line of luggage

Inc. paid the designer $16 million to acquire his business and

this loss." Minnclli said at her
New York apartment. "I just
lost my best friend."
Grace Mirabella, editor of
Mirabella magazine and former
editor of Vogue magazine said:
"I think Halston's contribution to
American fashion was remarkable and established the tone of
the 1970s.
"In his hands simple became
dashing, even ornamental, and
that's not easy to do. He pared
down the silhouette but it didn't
become ordinary. He could do it
with one good cutting with a
good fabric. When we go to fashion shows today, we often remark to each other, 'Gee. the
person we really miss is Halston.'"
The designer was born Roy
Halston Frowick on April 23,
1932, in Des Moines. Iowa He
attended Indiana University and
the Art Institute of Chicago,
where he majored in fine arts.
In 1958, he joined the staff of
Lily Daehc in New York as a
specialist in hat design. From
there, Halston moved to Bergdorf Goodma n and became a
name to reckon with over the
years as he originated the scarf
hat and some fur headpieces.
Halston created the pillbox hat
for Kennedy and served as her
milliner during her White House
ears.

�Valerie Hamilton s~ys she was tryina
not to sink into depression after
·
her older brother to AIDS when she bit
on the idea of starting an organizati on
dedicated to spreading both informatio n
and some comfort to those affected by
the deadly disease.
Six months ago, Hamilton started the
Carlton Foundatio n of America, named
for her older brother, who died after a
lengthy struggle with AIDS in the late
summer of 1989.
NaatiltM was
35 when he died. Valerie, who was close
to her older brother and often looked to
him for guidence and support, stayed
with him through his ordeal. She said her
brother's courage inspired her to help
others. "I told him no matter what, I still
love him. Out of our bond is where the
message comes from," she said.
Soon after Carlton's death, Hamilton
donated money to local hospitals and
AIDS organizati ons. Realizing even the
smallest donations helped, she decided to
look into starting her own AIDS-rela ted
program.
Formativ e stage
Hamilton said she is working on several programs for the foundation , which
she described as still in it's formative
stage. In August, on the anniversar y of
her big brother's birthday, Hamilton
launched what she calls the Carlton Rose
Program. At least once a week, Hamilton
delivers roses donated by local florists to
people with AIDS. Hamilton said she either personally brings the flowers to sick
individual s or donates them to local
AIDS programs. Hamilton has also designed a t-shirt bearing a rose logo and
the slogan of the foundation , "For AIDS
With Love."
Programs that Hamilton has donated
flowers to include the Children With
AIDS Program at Boston City Hospital,
Project Trust, a BCH-based program that
reaches out to drug users and their sex I
partners with help and informatio n, and
the Boston Living Center, a day program
for people with AIDS.
While she met with some
discourage ment early on, Hamilton said 1
she persisted and found flower shops
willing to help. "If I had listened to all the
negative things people told me, I would
not have done this."
Hamilton feels the small gesture of
delivering a r~a~ can give a suffering individual a much-need ed boost. Along
with the roses, Hamilton offers her
friendship , but does not force her co~panionship on anyone. Hamilton srud
suffering through the loss of her brother
gives her an understand ing of the ~DS
experience . "I can speak about loS1 ng a
loved one," she said, adding, "I can share
what it was like and know how to be
supportive ."
I
"Wonderful"
While visiting the Living Center,
Hamilton first met John, a man livinJ
with AIDS.· When John was hospitalize d
with an AIDS-rela ted 1llness two weeks1
ago, Hamilton sent him roses. Having
been abandoned by some members of his
family, John said the flowers meant a lot
to him. "It makes you feel wonderful
when you lose your friends and family
members and there is still someone out
ther~ who cares," he said.
Hamilton and John have developed a
special friendship and talk to each other
regularly. "Valerie is a wonderful person.
When you are in the hospital and nobody
comes to see you, just that little touch
means a lot," he said.
Brianne Fitzgerald, director of Project
Trust, called the rose program "a lovely
gesture." Often the nature of her work
requires Fitzgerald to be the bearer of \
bad news. The flowers allow Project
Trust to deliver a positive message, she
said, adding, "there is something nice we
can doin our job."
"It helps a lot"
Hamilton collects approxima tely 200
roses a month from flower shops around
the city. Kirk Joiner is manager of
Aalsmeer- Antigua, a wholesale flower
shop located in the Boston Flower
Exchange, on Albany St. Joiner was
touched by Hamilton's idea and donates
roses to her every two weeks, paying for
the flowers himself. Joiner, who has lost
several friends to AIDS, said, "I think it
helps a lot of people to know there are
people that care."
Hamilton hopes to build a network of
volunteers , called Carlton Crusaders , to
help AIDS victims and their families. She
also wants to make informatio n available
for people who need answers to AIDS-related questions. "I hope to create a viable
resource that will create opportunit y, education and awareness, " she said.
Hamilton, who works full-time as a
physical education teacher in Boston
public schools, said she pays out of her
own pocket to rent office space in the-old
Morgan Memorial building at 95
Berkeley St.
With her roses, Hamilton carries a
message of caring and compassio n, and
her hopes of helping combat the disease.
"The message is coming from my heart,"
she said, "I want to be part of the solution."
Richard S. Harrod, of Virginia Beach,
Virginia, formerly of Arlington. Virginia.
died on Wednesday, January 6, 1993 at
the Lake Taylor Hospital in Norfolk,

he developed by taking classes at the
Corcoran School of Art. Keil said Harrod
studied yoga and meditation, and enjoyed
spending time at the beach.

Scott Heiser, a photographer for Interview magazine and Paper magazine
who was known for his surrealistic
runway fashion shots in the late 1970's
died on Thursday at St Luke's Medicai
Center in Manhattan. He was 44.
The cause was pneumonia, said his
mother, Mary G. Heiser.
Mr. Heiser graduated in 1971 from
the Rhode Island School of Design. At
the school he met Marc Balet, who
later became creative director of Interview magazine. In 1976 Mr. Heiser
was hired to be a fashion photographer
for the magazine.
His runway photos were minimalistic, often blurry and wildly cropped,
sometimes showing very little of the
clothing on display. "The moment wasn't captured by Scott Heiser so much
as fashioned by him," Mr. Balet said.

Rosie's Place, the country's first
shelter for homeless women, celebrated its 20th anniversary last
night by citing five women as "unsung heroines" for the examples
they have set, and naming an attorney for the elderly as recipient of its
Lifetime Community Achievement
Award.
Laura Monroe is chief lawyer at
Greater Boston Elderly Legal Affairs, where, as a specialist in hous-

of elderly tenants.
In giving her its Lifetime Award,
Rosie's Place noted that "Laura frequently testifies before legislative
bodies in behalf of her clients, in support of anti-displacement Jaws such
as condominium conversion protection and rent control."
One recipient of the "unsung
heroines" awards was the late ~

the Boston Health Access project of

Harvey served as a mentor to Howard
University students by giving speeches
about his experiences with substance
abuse and AIDS. This past fall, Harvey
received recognition for his outstanding
service to the Howard University community from Dr. Jean White, a professor
at Howard.
Born in Richmond, Va., on March 27,
1958, Harvey attended his local high
school. He went on to join the U.S. Army
in 1976.

.Jlm:y Helbing, a longtime contributor
pages and an activist who played
~
to
a major role in the development of overt-
ly gay and lesbian theater in the United
States, died in the early morning hours of
March 28 at St. Vincent's Hospital, after
q l(_
a long struggle with AIDS.
Born on May 21, 1951, in East Dubuque, Illinois, where his father was a
banking executive, Helbing attended and
graduated from Emerson College in
Boston, then moved to New York to pursue a career in theater. He joined the
staff of New York University as assistant
editor of The Drama Review in December
1975 and was managing editor from
tember 1977 until mid-1981. Later he
peared at La ?vi.a.ma with NYU's Structuralist Workshop in Michael Kirby's
PrisolW'8 Of the Invisible Kingdom in
198~.
In 1 , under the auspices of The
Glin~ Helbing and Torry Miller became
co-piooucers of Miller's Pines '79, a
celet>ration of gay life at the Fire Island
summer colony. The play was an off-offBroadway success, running for 5 months,
and in l• 1982 Helbing and Miller took
over the tiny Shandol Theater on West
22nc\ Street, where they established
Meridian Gay Theater and, oyer the next
a half years, produced a succestwo
lesbian and gay plays, many of
~ become classics. Among
Jane Chambers's A Late
&or.io, Philip Blackwell's The Lovers'
J!lity, and Robert Chesley's Stray Dog
8*it;., and Night Sweat. The latter was
irst full-length play to address the
crisis.
Meridian, Helbing appeared as an
actol'." in John Preston's Franny, the
Quam of Provincet.own, Sidney Morris's
The lJemolition of Harry Fay, and Doric
Wilson's Street Theater. a dramatic COJmedy about the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion that was presented in a ~itP.-
specific production at 'nle Mine Shaft.
As a publisher, in 1979 Helbing found-
ed JH Press (the name derived from his
father's initials) to publish the works of
lesbian and gay playwrights, among
them Doric Wilson, Robert Chesley, C. D.
Arnold, and Jane Chambers. With Felice
Picano and Larry Mitchell in 1982, Helbing organized Gay Presses of New York,
which was inaugurated by publishing
the first edition of Harvey Fierstein's
Torch Song Trilogy, a Glines play that
had graduated to become a Tony-winning
Broadway hit. Gay Presses also published The Best Plays of Albertlnnau rato in 1987.
As a critic, Helbing contributed to

including Th Ad.voca.te and
pub
Thealii.Week. He was theater editor at
New York Native from 1981 until his
death, and at St.onewall News he contributed a weekly theater news column
until the onset of his last illness, in December.
Playwright Doric Wilson gleefully
recalls that, at the height of his activity
in the early 1980s, it was not impossible
for Helbing to publish a play, produce it,
act in it, assign reviewers to cover it, and,
as actually happened once or twice,
review it himself, using a nom de plume
In recent years, Helbing edited two anthologies of plays by gay people published
by William Heinemann and Son, Ltd.
A member of The Drama Desk, the
Amer.can Theater Critics' Association,
and The Outer Circle, Helbing was a
lifelong vegetarian, a fan and connoisseur of pop and soul vocal music, and a
champion bowler in gay leagues. He is
survived by a sister, Doris O'Neill of Tucson, and many friends and colleagues. A
memorial celebration of his life is

Commission next week plans to Jename the sewage plant he helped

In his second term as Mayor, before he learned he had the virus that

Commission passed .a resolution barring the city govern ment from dismissing an employee with AIDS.
Mrs. Keith, who was Mr. Heyman's assista nt in office, said, "If
there was a gay issue, he was there."
Mr. Heyman was reared in Grand

tails of the settlement to the press. The settlement cootaios a confidentiality clause that bars the two sides
from disclosing any details of its terms.
In a Sept. 23 ruling, Judge Rufus King ill ruled that
Hall's post-settlement discussion with a Washington
Blade reporter violated the confidentiality clause and .a
court order making the clause binding. ijut King also
ruled that Hall's breach of the clause did not cause any
damage to the bank. In light of Hall's death, King stat-

ed, no sanction against Hall's estate is appropriate.
The Blade reported the settlement amount as being
$267,000, which it obtained from an open court file.
Hall and his attorney at the time, Dale Edwin Sanders,
denied they leaked the information. Sanders said one of
his assistants checked the court files and confmned the
Blade' s finding that a clerk inadvertently placed papers
about the settlement in a public file.
Hall's fiends, meanwhile, accused Adams Banlc of
seeking cancellation of the settlement as a means of delaying its payment until after Hall's death, with the hope
of extracting a more favorable settlement from Hall's
estate. The bank denied the allegation.
Although Hall and other AIDS activists accused the
banlc of firing Hall because he had AIDS, attorneys for
the banlc say Hall never disclosed the nature of his illness. The banlc has said it dismissed Hall as part of a
cost-cutting action that was unrelated to his health.
Da:vid J. Shaffer, one of the banlc's attorneys, said the
bank has yet to decide whether to appeal Judge King's

Bill Walker of the AIDS History Proj ect later
recalled_ that the c~mmunity's reaction was perfectly Illustrated m the beginning sc~ne of
Longtime Companion. In that film, gay men were
shown reading these early news reports wondering
what impact it would have. ''That's what it was
like," he said.
"It was a topic of conversation. No one knew
what it meant. To put it in perspective at that point
I doubt that ~ere w~re very many people who paid
~uch_ attention to 1t at all. It's only in historical
hmds1ght that that was the particular moment that
we got the fi rst flash warning of what was yet to
come. No one had any idea what it would mean."
Early death was the impact, at first and to this
day. One of the first men to die was 42-year-old
Advocate associate editor Brent Harris, who
became the first staff person there to die from complications due to AIDS.
Even Dr. Anthony Fauci - who, for better or
worse, was made the government's AIDS czar at
the ~~ti.onal Institutes of Health - was stumped by
the m1t1al reports. Last month, Fauci compared
those first few reports to the day when JFK was
shot: everyone remembers exactly where they
were.

. ifth family member
lost to early death
By Zachary R. Dowdy
GLOBE STAFF
When she says her final goodbye
to h.!)r murdered grandson next
week, Susie Sullivan will have buried
five of her family in the past 10
years, all of whom died tragically
early; in their lives.
The latest is Zandera Sullivan,
her 21-year-old grandson, stabbed to
death in a building on Seaver Street
in Roxbury Monday night. Two
weeks before that, the young man's
father, Zandera Bigby, was shot and
killed in Roxbury.
A granddaughter, Candice Sullivan, 12, was killed in a fire in 1990,
and a nephew, Christopher Holmes,
fell victim to AIDS in his mid 20s in
1992.
Ten years ago, her son, James
Sullivan Jr., a Boston firefighter,
was murdered.
Susie Sullivan said yesterday
that her pain only worsens as she
prepared to bury yet another one of
her own.
"I buried four kids in 10 years,"
she said, sitting by her kitchen window yesterday, gazing out onto the
streets and playgrounds where
many of her children walk and play
off Centre Street in Jamaica Plain.
Sullivan's house always has been
filled with children. Some she gave
birth to; some were born to other
people.
Ai, she spoke yesterday, a toddler she just adopted walked
through the living room and bedrooms of the large apartment where
several grandchildren ran in and out.
Zandera Sullivan , her dead
grandson, was known as Peter to
distinguish him from his father. Zan-
dera had a 2-yea.r-old girl
Terraja.
Joyce Alston, Zandera Sullivan's
aunt, said Peter was so distraught
over his father's death that he went
to the funeral but could not bear to
attend the burial.
"He took it very hard because be
was close to his father," Alston said.
Even though they didn't live together, father and son saw each other at
least once a week.
Homicide detectives have not yet
found the younger Zandera's killer
but his relatives say he was stabbed
while visiting his girlfriend, who
lives on Seaver Street.
Susie Sullivan said yesterday
that police were seeking a wan·ant
for at least one suspect's arrest. She
said she wants to see the face of the
person who overpowered her 230pound grandson.
Susie Sullivan has found no closure in the two other murders that
have caused her pain. No one was
convicted in the death of her son,
and police have made no arrests in
the slaying of Zandera Bigby. She
hopes police will have better luck
with her grandson's case.
"Sometimes I feel like throwing
up my hands and giving up," she
said. "But what would that do?"
"I haven't had a happy day in 10
years," she said. "If James was still
here and if Chris was still here and if
I had Candice and if ~ hadn't lost Peter, I'd be happy."
The funeral for Zandera Sullivan
will be held Monday at Morning Star
Baptist Church in Mattapan. The
wake begins at 11 a.m., with the service at n

�Bonnie Hamann, was cattle dealer,
substance abuse counse-lor; at 47
? - ~ ?"f
ByTomLong
GWBESTAFF
Bonnie E. Hamann, a "North Dakota farm girl" who was one of the
first women to become a registered
cattle dealer in her home state and
went on to become an urban substance abuse counselor aft.er contracting the AIDS virus, died of
complications of the disease Thursday in her home in Wmthrop. She
was 47.
Ms. Hamann was born in Dickinson, N .D. After graduating from
Colorado State University, she
taught English in Bogota, Colombia,
and worked as a technical editor for
Haight Publishing Co. in Madison,
Wis. In 1976, she became one of the
first women to become a registered
cattle broker in North Dakota.
"Her father was a cattleman, and
he didn't want her to go into the
family business," her husband, Michael J. Twomey, said yesterday.
''But she was a natural at it."
Twomey, a carpenter orignally
from Melrose, met his wife, whom he
called "a diamond in the rough," on
New Year's Eve in 1977, when he
, was working on oil rigs in North Dakota.
He decribed her as a "North Dakota farm girl" who "loved the westc
ern life and loved cattle." He said he
thought she was "a bit of a tomboy,
growing up riding cattle around the
family spread."
As a cattle dealer, Ms. Hamann
was constantly traveling, crisscross-
OIICe grewaere
ing the state from cattle auction to
cattle auction. Her husbahd said she
had a knack for the business because
it involved ''looking at what you see
and knowing what you're seeing."
The couple moved to the Boston
area in 1981.
Ms. Hamann was disagnosed
with AIDS in 1986.
Ms. Hamann, who was a ''proud
member of Alcoholics Anonymous"
according to her husband, became a
substance abuse counselor at Mt.
Pleasant Hospital in Lynn and Heritage Hospital in Somerville. She also
was a lecturer for the AIDS Action
Committee and was honored for her
efforts earlier this year with a commendation from Judge Peter W. Agnes Jr. of Charlestown District
Court.
Beside her husband, she leaves
her mother, Viola Hamann of North ·
Dakota; four sisters, Joan O'Keefe,
Lynnie Melena and Charlotte, all of
California, and Noell Reinhiller of
. Colorado; and five brothers, Wayne
of Michigan, Gary of Arizona, Wil'liam Jr. of Colorado, Louis of North
' Dakota and Dan of Texas.
A memorial service will be held
at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 5 in Union Congregational Church in Winthrop.
Burial will be in North Dakota.

�Ofra Haza, 41, hid her afflic;tion to the end
;100-0
by Dina Kraft
Associated Press Writer
JERUSAL EM (AP.)- The death of a
popular singer from AIDS, and her efforts to conceal her illness from the
public, have sparked a furious public
debate here about the right to privacyand the stigma that some here still attach
to the illness.
The refrain "Ofra died of shame" reverberated through Israel's newspapers
and airwaves this week. Haza' s reported
concealme nt and the widespread reaction to this week's story about it in the
Haaretz daily have highlighted Israeli
attitudes toward the disease.
The 41-year-old diva died Feb. 23 of
organ failure. Citing the singer's wish to
maintain her privacy, doctors who treated
her at Tel Aviv's Tel Hashomer Hospital refused to say what brought on her
condition.
However, Haaretz reported that she
died of complications from AIDS. In an
editorial, the paper said there was "no
reason to demonize" the disease by keeping it a secret. The editorial called AIDS
"a human disease like any other."
Doctors and family members maintained their silence, and there was no
way to know how long Haza had been
seeking treatment or how she might have
contracted the disease. But Haza fans,
politicians and others across Israel speculated today that if she had not feared
negative publicity and had sought treatment sooner, she might not have died.
"I think the shame, stigma, and lack of
information are what killed her," said
Tina Ariel, widow of another popular
Israeli singer.
Fewer than 3,000 out of 6 million
Israelis carry HIV, the virus that causes
AIDS. Despite a recent Health Ministry
campaign to increase public awareness,
some Israelis still have misconceptions
about the disease.
AIDS activists lamented Haza's reported decision to keep her disease a
secret. suggesting it reinforced the message that the disease is shameful. Others
raised the prospect that in a more tolerant environment. Haza could have followed the example of someone like
American basketball star Magic Johnson,
who retired after his 1991 disclosure
that he is HIV-positive but has stayed in
the public spotlight and become a campaigner for AIDS education.
Some AIDS sufferers said friends and
acquaintances surprised them by embracing them even after they had "outed"
themselves. "Nobody ran away from
me, nobody broke off the connection
with me," said A vinoam Frumer. Others
insisted there is a price for going public.
Haza rose from the slums of Tel Aviv
to become Israel's first international pop
music star, blending ancient Yemenite
Jewish devotional poetry with the sounds
of 1980s techno music.
Other papers and the electronic media
said they also knew Haza had AIDS but
did not run the story. Some lawmakers
and other observers criticized Haaretz
for invading Haza's privacy.
Haaretz's editorial cited widespread
rumors about the cause of death and
Haza's status as a public figure in its
decision to publish the report.
''The attitude she bore toward the disease influences people, both healthy and
infirm." Haaretz wrote. T

Nicholas C. Houpis, 43, a.retired Digital Equipment Corporation manager and
well-known AIDS educator, died May
26 in his home after a long and courageous battle against AIDS. His family
was at his side.
A native of Keene, NH, Mr. Houpis
was known as "Mr. Nick" by thousands
of Greater Boston grade school students
through his work with "Staying Healthy,"
an innovative program that educates
fourth and fifth grade students about
health issues including HIV and AIDS.
His engaging and thought-provoking presentations endeared him to hundreds of
teachers and students who continued to
correspond with him long after he visited
· their schools.
Mr. Houpis graduated cum laude with
' a bachelor's degree in political science
from the University of New Hampshire,
Durham, where he also served as manager of the university's NCAAmen'sice
hockey team. He earned a master's degree in public relations from Boston
University's College ofCommunications
in 1981.
Mr. Houpis worked for Transamerica
Airlines of Oakland; General Foods Corporation of White Plains, NY and Towers, Perrin, Forster & Crosby of Boston,
before beginning a decade-Jong public
relations career at Digital Equipment
Corporation in 1984.
While at Digital, Mr. Hou pis served as
public relations manager for its field
service division and later as analyst relations manager for Digital Services. During his tenure, Houpis received numerous professional awards including
Digital's Communications Leadership
Award in 1991.
Mr. Houpis retired from Digital in
1994 after being diagnosed with AIDS.
Over the next five years, he selflessly
dedicated himself to helping the public
learn more about HIV and AIDS. He
served as a consultant to numerous corporations on AIDS in the workplace issues, and conducted daily speaking engagements to schools and community
organizatio~s on behalf of the American
Red Cross, Planned Parenthood, the
Boston Living Center and AIDS Action.
He also regularly answered calls on
Boston's AIDS Action Committee
Hotline, counseling concerned individuals and families about the growing AIDS
epidemic.
Despite well-publicized breakthroughs
in treatments for HIV and AIDS, Mr.
Houpis was one of thousands for whom
new combination drug therapies failed.
He became a leading advocate for increased education and research, and support of those still struggling with the
disease.
His inspiring story and advocacy was
chronicled in The Boston Globe, local
Bos.ton newscasts, PBS and CBS Nightly
News with Dan Rather. Mr. Houpis also
served on the board of directors of Community Research Initiative of New England (CRI), a nationally renowned,
Boston-based AIDS research organization that continues to seek new treatments and an eventual cure for AIDS.
Mr. Houpis loved water-skiing, aerobics, and squash, and most especially
his family and hundreds of friends who
were embraced by his tremendous compassion, energy and generosity.
Mr. Houpis' father, the late
Constantine N. "Dino" Houpis of Keene,
NH, preceded him in death in March.
He leaves his beloved life partner of
eight years, Michael Burke of Brighton;
his mother, Yonnie Ballas Houpis of
Keene, NH; a sister, Elana "Lela" Houpis
Barnes and her husband Jim of Piedmont, Calif.; a brother, Christy C. Houpis
of Amherst, NH; a nephew, Jonathan
Barnes and a niece, Alison Barnes, both
of Piedmont, CA.; numerous aunts,
uncles and cousins and his faithful dog,
Ellie.

Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books
Description
An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

Herve Guibert,
36, wrote about
AIDS experience
PARIS - Writer Herve Guibert, who chronicled his struggle
with AIDS in two autobiographical best-sellers, has died of the
\
disease. He was 36.
Mr. Gulbert's death Friday
came two weeks after he attempted suicide by an overdose
of sleeping pllla Dec. 13, the eveof his birthday.
Born in Paris in 1955, Mr.
Guibert began work as a journalist in 1973 and spent nine
years at the respected dally Le
Monde. He wrote his first novel
at the age of 22.
Works such aa "Les Chiens"
(The Dogs), ftlled with homo·
sexual erotoclsm. and "Mes
Parents" (My Parents), a biting attack on his family, had a
mixed critical reception.
But Mr. Gulbert won plau·
dits from critics and the public
alike when he went public with
his illness and wrote two novels
n
based o_ his experiences.
In "L'Ami Qui Ne M'a Pas
Sauve la Vie'' (The Friend Who
Didn't Save My Life) and "Le
Protocole Compasslonel" (The
Compassionate Protocol), he
recounted ln hallucinating
style the torment of the disease.
"He helped those who endured the same burden as himself, and showed everybody
that life deserves to be fully
lived," Culture Minister Jack
Lang said.
A sequel to "Le Protocol
titled
Compassionel"
"L'Homme Au Chapeau Rouge"
(The Man in the Red Hat) will
be published in February by
Gallimard.
Mr. Guibert will be buried

�IN THE ABSENCE
OF ANGELS
In an exclusive boo k excerpt, a Hol lyw
ood mother
moving ly describes her family's battle
with AID S
By Elizabeth Gla ser and Laura Palm er
A decade ago, before the nation awakened to
the daily nightmare that is AIDS, Elizabeth
Glaser was infected with the virus through a
tainted blood transfusion. She did not know
that she had passed the virus on to her two
children until her daughter, Ariel, developed
the disease at age 4. For more than three
years, Elizabeth, 43, and her husband, director Paul Micha.el Glaser, 47, the fomzer star of
the TV series Starsky and Hutch, kept their
painful ordeal private.
Then in 1989, just after the first anniversary
o[Ariel's death , the Glasers went public with
their story upon Leaming that a tabloid was
about to expose their tragedy in an unauthorized feature. Since then, Elizabeth and writer
Law·a Palmer have collaborated on ln the Absence of Angels, an inspiring account of the
Glaser family's struggles and triumphs, which
will be published by G.P. Putnam's Sons in
February. "After we found out that my family
was HIV-positive," says Elizabeth, "it was dear
thaJ I would have to grow as a person more
than I had eve.r imagined in order to find a wcry
to cope. I wanted to let America see how painful
it is to be a family battling AIDS and how hard
it is to deal with the isolation and discrimination that comes through ignorance. "
The book is more than an anguished account ofa mother's loss; it is a testament to
one woman's brave refusal to surrender. "If
reading my story can help open hearts to people who are battling this disease," says Elizabeth, "then maybe other families will have an
easier time. " Here is a selection from In the
Ab ence of Angels.
May 1981
There were no words, no sounds, everything was obliterated by a single focus , getting to the hospital. It was as though I were
motionless and the scenery was being
pulled past me.

When I arrived at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center, my husband, Paul, rushed over,
and I could see the fear in his face. I was six
months pregnant and had started bleeding. My baby wasn 't due for l l more
weeks.
I was diagnosed as having placenta previa, which meant the placenta was growing
across my cervix. All we could do was pray
that I would stop bleeding, because my
child was probably too small to Live outside my body. I lay there , day after day,
with Paul by my side, waiting.
On the sixth day, I was sent home and
told to stay in bed for the rest of my pregnancy . I was so afraid that I did less than
whatever the doctor said I could. Each day
was a victory, the next, a challenge.
Finally, on Aug. 4 198 l Ariel Glaser
was delivered by cesarean section. She was
three and a half weeks early and weighed
five pounds, two ounces, but I didn 't care.
When I looked into her eyes for the first
time, I was amazed that this miracle was
mine. Our fears were gone.
I was trying to tell the doctors how glad I
was that it was over, when I heard the an esthesiologist saying that something was
wrong. I couldn't breathe. I hemorrhaged.
I was gasping for air. My doctor pushed on
my stomach and I could feel the warm
blood gushing out. I was too horrified to
even scream. What was happening to me?
The transfusions began. I watched the
dark red blood drip out of the squat plastic
bag, flow through an IV tube and into a
vein in my arm. I was transfused with seven
pints. After the doctors packed me with
cotton I finally stopped bleeding.
It wasn 't until I saw my baby daughter
again that the weariness and terror began
to drift away , to be replaced with an instinctive love. She was beautiful, and we
had both survived. It was over. I finally fell

asleep, thinking about the wonderful life
the three of us had to look forward to.
Three weeks later I saw an article about
a new virus called AIDS. I calJed my obstetrician immediately. "I just read an article
in the paper about AIDS, a virus that
may be transmitted by blood transfusions.
I just got seven pints !"
"Oh, Elizabeth," he said, "you've been
through a difficult ordeal, but it's behind
you. Relax and enjoy your baby. Your
nightmare is over. AIDS isn't ever going to
have anything to do with you."
June 1975
I had pork chops, not passion, on my mind
when I met Paul 15 years ago. I was coming home from a session with my therapist
and determined to defrost two chops and
have supper by myself.
I bad, in fact just spent 50 minutes explaining why I didn't need a man. Then,
while waiting for the light to change at the
intersection of Santa Monica and Beverly
Boulevards, I looked at the car next to me.
"Oh, my God, that is the cutest guy I have
ever seen, " I thought. I smiled. He smiled.
The light changed.
I turned right. He turned right. I glanced
into the rearview mirror and he signaled
me over with his arm. I was anxious and jittery as I pulled over. He stepped out of his
car and walked toward me. I rolled down
my window and he said "Okay, let me see
your driver's license." I looked at him and
laughed. He was droll and disarming.
86
�"What are you doing for dinner?" he
asked. Thinking of therapy, I told him I
was going home and making pork chops.
"Wouldn't you rather go out for Chinese
food? " ''Yes," I said without missing a
beat. One therapy session thrown out the
window.
We went to Al Fong's in Beverly Hills. It
was dark and the food was dreadful. Midway through the moo shu pork I asked
Paul what he did. He said, "I'm an actor."
I was so disappointed. I had lived in Los
Angeles long enough to know that being
an actor meant absolutely nothing.
"Are you working?" I asked politely. "Actually, I am. I'm in a show that's just been
picked up by a network. It'll be on ABC in
the fall. " "What's it called?" "Starsky and
Hutch. It's a cop show about two detectives. I play Starsky."
I knew that night that even though he
was an actor, this was the man for me. I
was 27 and in love. When I looked at Paul I
saw happily-ever-after. In September I
moved into the one-room bungalow in the
Hollywood Hills he shared with a dog
named Max.
Paul didn't even have a television. We
watched the debut of Starsky and Hutch
with David Soul, the actor who played
Hutch, at the home of David's agent. Everyone, including the stars, felt the show
would be cancelJed in eight weeks. By
Thanksgiving, it was the hottest show on
TV, and Paul and David were as famous as
rock stars.
Paul and I were both stunned by his instant celebrity status. For years, he had
worked steadily, doing everything from
Shakespeare to soaps. Starsky was not how
he imagined becoming famous. There was
a lot of adjusting to do. The simple joy of
taking a walk on the beach in our jeans and
sweatshirts came to a halt. Until you went
out in public with Paul, you had no sense
of how overwhelming, demanding, and ridiculous being a celebrity was.
During the years thatStarsky was on the
air, we never got involved in the social side
of Hollywood. We saved our money,
knowing that actors usually have lean
times, and wanted to be prepared for that.
The price I paid for Paul's celebrity was invisibility. Hollywood people would nod
and smile when I would say I was a teacher
or, later, an exhibits director at the Children 's Museum. I had to find ways to accept that; one solution was to make a life
of my own that was independent and
strong.
I definitely knew l wanted to be married
and have children. I had had a wonderful
childhood and was looking forward to
.,.. Elizabeth, who
~ave birth to Ari
(right) at 33, grew
up in Hewlett Harbor, N.Y., and
earned a master's
degree in earfy
childhood education at Boston University. After a twoyear marriage to a
former classmate,
she moved to LA.,
where she was
teaching when she
met Paul.
starting a family of my own. But Paul's
childhood had been more complicated,
and marriage and family were scary to
him. Paul and I talked it through, and he finally agreed that we'd get married when we
were ready to have children.
Three months after our wedding in August 1980, I was pregnant. All the goodness in the world seemed to be ou rs. In
nine months I would have what I had always wanted most, a child of my own with
a man that I loved.
When Ari was about a year and a half
old, we began looking for a larger house.
Paul and I wanted more children, and I
was trying to get pregnant again. From the
moment I walked into the sprawling Mediterranean house in Santa Monica, I knew
this was the home for my family. Our children would grow up and go to college, and
then Glaser children would come home
with Glaser grandchildren.
Everything seemed to be going well. I
had gotten pregnant and had miscarried,
but was pregnant once more. And on
Oct. 25, 1984, I delivered a beautiful son
we named Jake.
In the spring of 1985 Paul was offered the
job of directing his first feature film, Band
of the Hand. The film was being shot in Miami, so we packed up the family and rented
a house on the beach for the three-month
shoot.
From Miami I took the children to visit
my parents, who were living in Puerto
Rico. We had just returned from that trip
when Ari, who was then 4, started to have
stomach aches and cramps. She was in a
great deal of pain. We consulted a pediatrician who said that she had probably picked
up a bug in Puerto Rico. When Ari didn't
get better, I went to another doctor who
suggested a stomach specialist. He had Ari
hospitalized for more tests. The doctors
said they had no idea what was wrong with
Ariel, but for the next three days they
watched her as if she might die. Once
again I saw her life as precarious. I could
feel all my dreams and plans start to crumble. My many fears began to return. Without even knowing what was wrong, I was
fighting for Ari's life all over again.
By the time we left Florida in November
Ariel was stronger, but not well. Doctors
there said that she suffered from a blood
disorder that usually leads to kidney failure. There was more color in her face and
lips, but she still had bouts of diarrhea and
would wake up in pain. Over the next few
months we were doing test after test, trying
to diagnose the underlying cause of Ari's
illness. Paul and I had told Ari there was
something funny with her blood and that
was the reason she was so frequently tired.
We told her that the doctors were going to
find a way to make her better.
As time went by and things still didn't
improve, Ariel was tested for all sorts of
unusual diseases including lupus and leukemia. There was also talk of doing a liver
and kidney biopsy, but that was postponed. When each test came back negative, l felt we had won another diagnostic
round. But Ari's doctor, Richard Fine,
wasn't as cheerful. He knew what we
didn 't-that Ari's diarrhea and low helper
T-cells count [an important part of the immune system that fights infection] were
symptoms of AIDS .
I don 't think I was any more anxious
about an AIDS test than I was about anything else. Just as her doctors had ruled
out lupus and leukemia, they'd rule out
AIDS. We took her in to be tested.
When the phone rang the next day, Paul
answered it and after he hung up he said,
"They've got to run it again. It's shown
87
�(\
some k.ind of positivity. It's probably a
mistake and we'll know in two days." The
two days slowly passed. Richard Fine
caLled that morning in late May. "The test
has come back positive. You all have to
come in tomorrow to be tested. "
Ari had been diagnosed. Ari's illness
now had a name. Ariel had AIDS. I remember walking into the bathroom and
screaming as loud as I could. Ari and Jake
must have been out of the house because I
wou ld never have fallen apart in front of
them. Paul walked into the bathroom, but
we couldn't touch. We couldn't even look
at each other. He turned and walked out. I
was still crying. He walked back in. He
said, ''You have to pull yourself together."
I thought, '~ ?My life is over. The most
important thing in my life-my daughter- is
going to die. "
I became more and more hysterical. Finally, Paul sat down by me on the edge of
the tub and just said, 'We don't know. You

From that moment on I had no choice
but to become intentionally schizophrenic.
What I felt was one thing, and what I presented to my children and to the rest of the
outside world was another.
The next morning we were all tested.
Richard Fine called back later. "We have
to run the tests on Elizabeth and Jake
again," he said, and by then we knew what
that meant. We had tested positive.
Paul and I went back to UCLA and sat
numbly in Dr. Fine's office with him and
Dr. Richard Stiehm, the pediatric immunologist who would become Ari's doctor.
They explained that there bad been a lot of
infected blood at Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center in the early years of the epidemic
because it is located on the edge of
West Hollywood, which has a large gay
population.
Dr. Stiehm said he thought I had been
infected through my blood transfusion and
had passed the virus on to Ari during
breast feeding and to Jake in utero.
Paul and I sat there. In our worst nightmares, we could never have imagined
the devastation of that office visit. Our
entire world had been crushed . Ari, Jake
and I might all die. It was too much to
comprehend. Still, today, it is too much
to comprehend.
They said that Ari should start on gamma globulin treatments right away to
shore up her immune system. She could
get the infusions at the UCLA clinic once
every three weeks, by sitting for four hours
with an IV in her arm. Dr. Stiehm strongly
recommended that we shouldn 't tell any-

Dr. Stiehm told me that I could L positive and carry the AIDS vi rus without being ymptomati c or showing any signs of

thei r support and conce rn had been crucially important. Paul and I decided we
had two choices. We could tell some
friends or we could pick up, sell our house
and begin our life all over again someplace
else. The life we had known was ove r. I
had to stay strong so 1 could save my chjJ dren. Our first steps were perhaps th e
hardest.
Paul and I decided to confi de in only a
handrul of friends. I told my women
friends in person. one by one, and made
each of them promise not to tell anyone
except th eir husbands. For some, whose
children we re playmates or Ari and Jake,

had been in imminent dange r. Mos t of our
fri ends wanted to sta nd beside us, but they
also wanted ass urances th at there was no
risk to their children. In May of 1986, answers were in short supply and there were
no guarantees.
At first, no one would all ow their children to come and play at our house. Some
fri ends refused to let my kjds come to their
homes at all. Some said their children
co uld continue to play with mine, but only
at the park. Some dropped out of our lives.

about our iliagnosis she called to tell me
that she never wanted to see me aga in . We
as ked a therapist to see if a child psycl1iatrist would work with Ari when and if we
felt it was appropria te. I was later told th at
psychiatrists woul d not see my child, because they were afraid if wo rd leaked they
would lose too many other patients.
People were responding so rea rrully
that I started to feel dangerous myself.
The doctors said th ere was no reason fo r
fear, but that meant nothing beca use our
neighbors and our fri ends were not doctors. Every time I went in to the supermarket, I envisioned everyone slowly and silently moving away as if they had just seen
a rattl esnake. It would be nine months befo re the Surgeon General would appear
on te levision to say flat out th at you ca n't

that info rmation, our lives slowly regained

our friends to keep quiet. Were word to get

years of the epidemic, that leadership was
absent. AIDS may one day cost me my
life, but community reaction right away
cost me the right to live the rest of my life
the way I choose. That was my first fi ght.
It was a time that would almost be unimaginable if we hadn 't lived it. It is what all
fa milies battling AIDS had to face then.
You are told that you and your children
may die. You are told that there are no answers now. And then as you are struggling
not to completely fa ll apart, you realize that
very few people are going to reach out to

One of the telephone calls I dreaded most
was to Cross roads Elementary School,
where Ari had been accepted. Both Paul
and I desperately wa nted her to start kjn derga rten that fa ll. It was one of the few direct lin ks we had to the future, and it
meant so much to Ari. Pau l Cummin s, the

daughter, Ariel, start kindergarten here in
September," I said. ' But I just found out
that she, my son and I are all infected with
the AIDS virus." I started to cry. I was sure
he would send me away and teU me to find
another school. Paul Cummins walked
over and put his arms around me. "You
are part of our family," he said. "We want
you here." He held me as I cried. I left his
office feeling both relief and joy. As long
as I could see that not every door was going to be closed to us, I could hope.
Ari had spent just one week at Crossroads
when Cummins met with the Glasers to explain that the school's board was about to
draft an AIDS policy. He was concerned that
Ari's presence in the school might jeopardize
its passage. So Ari was uprooted and trans!erred to a nearby public school that already
had an AIDS policy, where she remained until
90
the following year, after the Crossroads board
had agreed to admit children with AIDS.
Says Elizabeth: "ft was another hard lesson in
how little could be taken for granted. "
Whi le I was fighting my battles, Paul was
coming to grips with his own private
war-a battlefield on which he mjghtJose
all those he loved. It was a diJficult struggle for him then and it stiJJ is now. He
worked as much as he could, as that gave
him the strength to keep going. Sometimes
it is hard for me to believe that my life is
real, but trying to imagi11e being Paul is
even more difficult.
Ariel was doing well. Each mornjng I
would sit with her and pick out the hair
ribbons she would want to wear. We
would stand in front of the bathroom mirror and I would brush her hair 100 times to
make it shine. As her hair glistened, silent
tears would fill my eyes and my heart
would break, knowing that I might lose
her. It became impossible for me to ever
feel really happy without feeling achingly
sad.
That autumn, I kept wishing for things
~·
that never seemed to happen. I wished Ari
would be invited to someone's house for a
sleepover. I wished one of Jake's friends
would invite hjm for a play date. It wou ld
be lovely if Paul and I were invited to a dinner party.
At that point in our lives, coping with
fear was far worse than coping with AIDS.
The fear of rejection or exposure was with
us at all times. Most people have nightmares when they sleep, but when you are a
family facing AIDS, the nightmare begins
fresh each day. Sleep is the only time when
I feel just like everyone else. Often I wake
up in the morning having forgotten for an
instant about AIDS, but that lasts for only
a blink of an eye.
In the fall of 1986, the doctors still had
no answers. Naively, I thought we were
ahead of the game. Since none of us was
sick or deteriorating, I felt that maybe ifwe
could just stay strong, doctors would find
a cure. Ari was already five years old, while
most children with AIDS died by the time
they were two.
I felt I had every right to be angry. But
what good was it going to do? Would it
�,1
make Ari well? Would it make Jake live
longer? I couldn't stop myself from being
angry, but I could keep that anger from being trapped inside my body. I would think
of a room with two doors. IJ the anger
came in one door, I tried to be sure there
was always another door so the anger
could get out.
I had to learn to forgive. I had to forgive
the blood donor. [ had to forgive the doctors, the hospitals, the schools, and I had
to forgive fate . I had to forgive God, if
there is one, and l had to forgive my
friends who had to forgive me. Right away
Paul saw that we would have to forgive everyone, that we would have to let the anger
pass right through us. He helped me to
learn this. It was bitterly hard. Anger is a
poison that will seep into your system and
want to stay.
But l still get angry. Sometimes when l
am alone in my car I scream, "lf you are
there, God, I hate you! I hate you for making this my life. l hate you for letting Ari get
sick. And I hate you because [ don't really
think you are there." My throat hurts when
I'm done, but I usually feel calmer.
I would feel a painful jealousy whenever
I saw people who seemed to have normal
bves and healthy children. I would feel an
excruciating envy toward strangers and
my friends wbo could have what I never
could. And then I would feel very, very sorry for myself.
I learned to let go of all of these emotions
that depleted me. I am never going to be
able to have what other people have. At
some point you begin to accept that this is
your life. I've learned that you often have
no say in what happens to you, but you can
choose how you bear the consequences.
Paul had finished directing Running Man in
the spring [of 1987], and we had decided
we would make our annual summer trip to
Maine. We were swimming, boating, hiking or picking wild blueberries on Pleasant
Mountain. At night we would make a fire
and toast marshmallows. Simple and intense delight. But Ari started to seem
weak, and 1 sensed for the first time that
she was beginning to faiJ. Her appetite diminished and she complained of stomach
pain. In past summers she had always
been eager to go in the canoe and be by the
water, but now that eagerness was gone.
As a mother, I knew instinctively that I was
losing her.
I called Dick Stiehm in Los Angeles.
"We've got to get AZT now," I said.
"She's starting to fail. " In 1987, AZT was
the only treatment that seemed to be effective against AIDS.
"It's not ready for children," he replied.
"What do you mean? It's ready for
me! " Although l hadn't needed to start
taking it yet, I knew it was available.
"AZT hasn't been approved for pediatric use. It's just not ready."
"We 've got to find a way to get it and
use it. "
"Elizabeth," he said, "we don 't even
know the dose to give her. We can't just experiment. It could kill her."
"When will it be ready?"
" In the fall. "
I took a deep breath and prayed that we
could hold on until then.
By the time we got home, Ari was thinner and weaker, but Dr. Stiehm felt she

cushioning her with pillows and wrapping
a blanket over her legs. Despite the pain
and the weariness that she always felt, she
never failed to respond to the beauty
around her.
In March 1988, nearly two yea rs after
our initial diagnosis, the guillotine fell. Ariel got pneumonia and we were qack at
UCLA again. We learned that her brain
had severely atropbied. The doctors said it
was irreversible. It was one of the central
nervou s system complications of AIDS
that is quite common in children, though
not in adults.
After four days, Dick Stiehm solemnly
Paul was silent for a long time and then
with great gentleness he said, "I'll support
you in whatever yo u have to do. " I gave my
husband a big hug and felt a smile spreading across my face. I knew this was the
moment when I was taking that bard first
step. I didn 't know it at the time, but it was
tbe step that bas kept me in motion ever
since.
As a member of a famjly struggling with
AIDS , I learned that few wanted to help
enough to change a system that had become strangled by red tape. The ones who
tried were often ignored because AIDS
was something many refused to deal with.
Dr. Stiehm had already tried to get AZT in that
form for several of his patients but had failed
because it was still only available for trial testing. Elizabeth returned home and refused to
give up until she was able to obtain the intravenous drug for her daughter in May 1988.
I sat in my den, relieved th at we had succeeded in getting the drug and furious at
the inhumanity of a system that cared
more about rules than ]jves. Did I love my
child any more than the mother in Harlem ,
Miami or Newark loved her child? Absolutely not. Did Ari deserve a chance any
more than their children? No. Every child
with AIDS deserves a chance. And what
about the children who had no one to
speak for them ?
Then, three weeks to the day after we
started intravenous AZT, I walked into Ariel's room in the morning and she looked
up and said, "Good morning, Mom. I love
you. " I could hardly believe it. Ari was
back! The sky had opened.up. I had to find
Paul. Maybe miracles did happen. Maybe
one was going to happen in our house.
Ari continued to improve over the next
six weeks. The intravenous AZT was un-'
winding her cocoon of paralysis, and her
6-year-old self was stilJ underneath. The
whole world had started spinning aga i1 .

sat us down and told us that Ari had probably 48 hours to live. She was breathing
weakly, but what none ofus knew then was
that she had n't given up.
It was not until the doctors told us that
there was absolutely no hope that I confronted the possibility of Ari 's death for
the first time. I sat with a friend and lit one
cigarette after another. I was shaking and
not yet able to talk. "No one cares if we all
die from AIDS," 1 said. "Sometlling is
very wrong. I have to get to the President."
It was in that moment of honest desperation that I realized I could no longer sit
quietly in Santa Monica. A mother's job is
to save her child; it's a basic animal instinct. But I was failing. I had to do more.
Propelled by anger and frustration, Elizabeth
considered ways to take a more active role in
AIDS issues without compromising her/amity's privacy. Ariel survived the pneumonia,
yet her health seemed ever more fragile. The
day the Glasers brought their daughter home
92
Someone had to care enough to be willing
to shake things up, but l didn 't know who
it would be. I realized my country was fail ing me. The compassion as well as the
moral and ethical foundations of our society were being tested, and from my point
of view, America had let me down.
Determined to educate herself about AlDS as
a national issue, Elizabeth met with physicians, politicians and friends to plan an assault on policymakers in Washington, D.C
Her first goal was to explain that AIDS affects
children differently than adults and then to
persuade legisl£Ltors to make federal funds
available, specifically for pediatric AIDS research. During her visit to the capital six weeks
later, Elizabeth also met Dr. Phil Pizzo, chief
of pediatrics at the National Cancer Institute
in Bethesda, Md. , who had launched the
first federal study ofAIDS in children. When
he learned that Ari had been taking AZT orally with no favorable results, he recommended that she take the drug intravenously.

In March we were told to prepare for a funeral. By May we had a shot at second
grade. If Ari could make it we were all going to make it.
In June, friends arranged a meeting between
Elizabeth and the Reagans at the White
House, where she appealed to the President to
lead the nation on this urgent issue. Although
the Reagans welcomed her warmly, their private concern had no positive impact on public
policy. The more Elizabeth learned about the
government's indifference to the issue of
children with AIDS, the more determined she
became to form a private foundation to raise
funds for pediatric AIDS research.
July 1988
It was one of those beautiful Los Angeles
days when the sun, air, sky and sea all seem
perfect. I asked Ari if she would like to go
down to the Santa Monica pier, which has
rides and an amusement arcade with cot-
�al t

ton candy and stuffed animals for prizes.
Ari and I went on the Ferris wheel together, around and around, waving wildly,
queens of the sky and sea. For a moment, I
was experiencing the thrilling unadulterated joy of just being a mom. Maybe there
was some part of Ariel that knew this was
the last day that she was really going to get
to be a little girl.
Two weeks later Ari was readmitted to
UCLA hospital. Her white blood cell
count had fallen too low, and we had to
take her off the intravenous AZT. She was
having fevers that we couldn't break. But I
persistently believed that thjs was just another crisis that we would somehow survive. I have never been able to accept endings that I don 't like. I fight to make life the
way I want it to be, and because of that I
never believed that Ari was going to die.
We had Ari 's seventh birthday party in
the hospital, and Dick Stiehm gave her a

went home. But

Ari had regressed greatly. In a few weeks,
we had slid back down the mountain we
had climbed since June. Her care was intricate and complex, but all I wanted was
to take her home.
Three weeks later, on Friday, Aug. 12th,
1988, we were packing up her things. Ari
was lying in her bed and I said to her, "We
have to see if you can sit in your stroller,
honey." And Ari said, "No, Mom, I'm going to walk home." She couldn't move her
legs. I looked at her and said, "Give me a
break." Ari said simply, "No, Mom, I'm
going to walk home." "All right, Ari," I
said. "Go for it."
Paul and I continued getting her things
together. It was not until the last 10 minutes of her life that I knew she was dying.
And then very quickly she was gone. She
was never supposed to die. It was too
short a time to have had her. Paul wept
and I cried, "Noooo!" It was a "no" that
wanted to tum back time. It was a "no" to

That Sunday, the Glasers held a memorial

omboy trim, with a broad smile and
an easy laugh, Elizabeth Glaser
walks into her sun-filled Santa Monica living room with a glass of milk in one
hand and a slice of wheat toast slathered
with jam in the other. A silky golden retriever pads along at her heels. In the kitchen Elizabeth's husband, Paul, is meeting
with a group of California legislators.
Phones ring, doors slam , visitors and deliveries come and go. The Glasers' home
pulses with life.
"There were times after we were given
our diagnosis when I thought it would be
easier to take everyone into the garage and
turn on the gas," says Elizabeth. "But as
helpless as it felt at those moments, I knew
that the next day might not feel hopeless at
all, so I made the decision to choose to
Live."
It was a choice that seemed almost beyond her grasp following her daughter Ariel's death in August L

to die I felt I had Lived every day fully and
had no regrets. But after Ari died, I felt
dead too. I spent a lot of my time lecturing
myself, saying you 've got to move forward ,
but I could no longer see any beauty in the
world ."
ln a gradual and very pr,ivate process of
recovery, Elizabeth reclaimed her will to
live. She has been buoyed by Ari's presence
in dreams, and she has the loyal support of
a regiment of women friends , along with
her husband. "Paul is intrinsically more
private than I," she says. "He's not comfortable speaking about private family issues. He's an artist, a writer and a director,
and it's important for him to be doing his
business, but when I need him to be there
for me, he's there. He's a very caring, sup-
portive member of this family."
Elizabeth speaks frankly about how
tragedy can unhinge a marriage: "Many
people think the loss of a child brings a couple closer, but in real Life it's very hard to go
through so much pain together. You're
both scared, tense and angry. You're fi lled
with feelings; one of them is love, but it's
not unusual to feel estranged from everyone. That's a normal reaction to a crisis."
Isolated from one another in their grief following Ari's death, the Glasers consulted a
therapist to help regain a balance in their
marriage. "Other men wou ld have walked
away," Elizabeth writes, "but not Pa ul."
More than nine years after contracting
the virus, Elizabeth remains in stable
health. She has regular aerosol pentamidine treatments, which help ward off the
pneumonia that strikes so many people
with the AIDS virus. She has also been taking the drug DDI since developing a toxic
reaction to AZT in 1989. Son Jake, too, is
well. "My son is a healthy, normal 6-yearold, living a full life with many friends ,"

�U.S. Marine loses long
battle w,ith AIDS virus
An AIDS-lnfei /iV~arlne who
fought for years to make the federal
government pay for the deaths from
AIDS of his wife and son died yesterday, less than a month after he finally
won a $3.8 million aetUemenL
Martin Gaffney died at 3:27 Lm. at
Massachusetts General Hospital,
where be had been hoapitallzecl since
8epL 17, said Martin Bander, a hospital
spokesman.
Gaffney, 42, was d1agnoaed in September with lymphoma, a form of
cancer that sometimes occurs as a resuit of the AIDS virus.
At the South Weymouth Naval Air
Station, where Gaffney served as a
chief warrant officer until being hospitallzed, fellow Marines were shaken.
''There's probably 150 Marines just
sitting around here with tears in their
eyes," said Jlartne Capt. Laurence
Jewett. ''These are some combat-bardened U.S. Marines. but this one
hurta."
In a court battle that lasted more
than four years, Gaffney charged that
doctors at the Long Beach. Calif., Naval Hospital botched his wife's pregnancy in 1981 by falling to give her a
Caesarean section. She was two weeks
late delivering the baby, and required
a blood transfusion, which was tainted
with the AIDS virus.
The Infant was stillborn. The couple
had another son, who died of AIDS at
13 months. Gaffney's wife, Mutauko,
died of AIDS in 1987. His 8-year-old
daughter, Maureene, now llvea with
Gaffney'• brother in Lowell
In April. U.S. District Court Judge
Rya W. ~ l awarded Gaffney $3.1
million, plus $316,000 to cover future
medical costs. In October, the U.S. attorney's office flied notice of a pouible
appeal, giving the U.S. solicitor general time to make a final decision
about whether to proceed with the
case.
But several days later the government announced it would not appeal,
and the money was paid Oct. 21.

ney's attorney...He was a person of
absolutely rock solid values. The way
he approached his battle with the government was the way he approached
his battle with cancer - with unbelle•
vable courage and dignity."
Gaffney had accused the government of dragging out the case as he
grew sicker. He said he sought the
money so hls daughter, who does not
have AIDS, will have enough to live on
_,.,
when be Is gone.
A US District Court judge yesterday awarded more than $2.7 million in economic damages to a man
whose wife and ehild died of AIDS
after his wife received a taint.eel
blood transfusion.
Judge Rya Zobel had awarded
$750,000 in emotional damages in
November to Marine Chief Warrant
Officer Martin Gaffney, whose wife
Mutsuko received the AIDS-tainted
transfusion in a Navy hospit.al in
Long Beach, Calif. in 1981.
Gaffney, 41, a computer special.ist at the South Weymouth Naval
Air Station, had originally sued for
$55 million. He has tested positive
for the HIV virus that causes AIDS
but has not yet developed signs of
the disease.
Gaffney said after the ruling he
thought the government got off
lightly. "It's not the amount of the
award," he told WCBV-TV. ''The
amount of the award, I had hoped it
would be more - it's the experience
that you go through. And there's still
injustice.
"I came out with a victory, but
there was a lot I lost," he said. "I
don't like the fact that they concluded that t.he first baby was not a person."
Zobel nJled a year ago that the
federal govermnent was liable for
Gaffney's infection with HW and the
death& of his wife and son. Gaffney
said Navy doctors had mishandled
his wife's pregnancy by not giving
her a Caesarean section when she
was overdue. Mutsuko Gaffney received two units of blood when she
gave birth a week later to a stillborn
baby boy.
Navy physicians were found negligent in giving the tainted blood, Zobel ruled last year, because if a Caesarean section had been performed
in time a transfusion would not have
been needed.
Mutsuko and a younger son,,
John, who was bom in 1985, were diagnosed with AIDS in 1986. John
died in 1986 and his mother in 1987.
Gaffney's other child, Maureene, 7,
has not tested positive for the AIDS
virus. Gaffney had said previously
that he had was seeking the money
to provide for his daughter.
"I hope she gets an education,"
Gaffney was quot.eel by the Associated Press. "I hope she is provided
for."
Part of the ease on Gaffney's future medical costs is still pending.
He had asked for $6.75 million in
economic damages, but Zobel awarded only $2.74 million.

a principal dancer of the San Francisco
Ballet; in 1975 he was appointed the
company's ballet master and, in 1980,
assis~nt director and' artistic coordinator, posts he held until 1986. He was
ballet master for the Dallas Ballet
from 1986 to 1988.
Works Bountiful and Diverse
A choreographer of more than 30
ballets, Mr. Gladstein created such
varied works as "N.R.A.," a tribute to
the 1930's, and "Symphony in Three
Movements," an abstraction to music
by Stravinsky. When the San Francisco
Ballet appeared in 1980 at the Brooklyn
·Academy of Music, Anna Kisselgoff,
~e chief dari~e critic of The New Yo~k
Times, praised Mr. Gladstein s
"Psalms" for being a "sensitive view
or an Israeli generation caught up in a
state or war."
Mr. Gladstein was a member of the
dance advisory panel of the National
Endowment for the Arts from 1981 to
1986. At the time of his death, he was a
board member of the San Francisco
Archive for the Performing Arts. For
the San Francisco Ballet's 50th-anniversary gala in 1983, he reconstructed
excerpts from "Ballet Mecanique," an
Expressionist work of 1933 by Adolph
Bolm, the company's founder.
As coordinator of the Christensen
Collection, Mr. Gladstein revived choreography by Lew Christensen, who
became director of the San Francisco
Ballet in 1951 and helped the company
achieve international importance. After Mr. Christensen's death in 1984, Mr.
Gladstein staged many of his ballets,
under the Christensen Collection's aus-'
pices, for such troupes as the Louisville
Ballet, the Pennsylvania Ballet, the
Milwaukee Ballet, State Ballet of Missouri and Ballet Omaha.
Mr. Gladstein's companion was Ba rt
Rawlinson.

April 11, 1951-March 5, 1992
Bob Grady was born into eternal life on
March 5. Bob died at Youville Hospital of
AIDS, smrounded by his loving mother
and brolher, and the dedicated staff of Five
East.
A 17-year member of Dignity/Boston,
Bob was a fonner vice president, chair of
Liturgy committee, and choir member. He
was known for his involvement with issues
of social justice ranging from Central
America to the Folger' s boycott to lesbian
and gay rights. This was reflected in his
numerous published letters to various newspapers and public prayers. He was at the
forefront in his support for the full participation of women in the Roman Catholic
ChurchasamemberoftheWomen'sOrdination Conference, whose protests at ordinations he regularly joined.He was a strong
supporter of women in Dignity/Boston.
Bob attended St. John's Seminary and
received a degree in teaching from the
fonner Boston State College. He taught in
the Quincy Public School system and later
worked at local hospitals and for the city of
Boston.
Bob was a man of great goodness of
spirit. He had a wonderful sense of humor
and was a born mimic; among his alter egos
were Rose Kennedy, Star Market's Kay
McCarthy, and his late Eminence, Richard
Cardinal Cushing. Friends also remember
his appearance as Lady Liberty ata Harbor

ilt the age of 16 and drew internatio nal
attention by telling her story as a warning to heterosexuals, women and teenagers, died yesterday afternoon at her
family's summer home in Westhampton Beach, L.I.
She was 26 years old and lived in
Manhatta n. Her parents, Jerrold and
Carol Gertz, said she died of AIDS.
When Ms. Gertz first publicly told
her story, in an interview with The New
York Times in 1989, the AIDS epidemic
was widely perceived as confined to
homosexual men, intravenous drug
abusers and blood-transfusion recipients.
She fit none of those categorie s. Her
story was all the more dramatic because of the privilege she was born
into, with artistic talent, affluence, private schools and social prominence.

Florida, and a native of the D.C. area,
died on Thursday, February 4, 1993 at
Memorial Hospital of Tampa of complications associated with AIDS .
Gingrich was raised in the Washington
area, growing up in Alexandria, Va., and
Silver Spring, Md. He graduated in 1974
from Springbrook High School in Silver
Spring. He attended York College of
Pennsylvania, receiving a bachelor's degree in 1978 in engineering management
and an associate degree in math. He
graduated cum laude.
Gingrich returned to the WashingtOn
area after college. He worked for the
Department of Defense as a computer
information analyst from 1980 to 1982.
Then, for the next five years, he was a
computer programmer at IBM Corporation. In 1987, he moved to Tampa and
began working for GTE as a member of
the technical staff.
Gingrich, who retired from GTE Data
Services in Tampa in 1989, wrote in an
obituary he prepared, "My retirement
years were difficult and wonderful, trying
to assign meaning to my life. The amount
of support I received from my friends was
of the utmost value to me."
"Please know that my life was wonderful!" he wrote. "Every one of you who
knew me touched me in such a way that
goes beyond the bounds of human experience. Wherever I am now, I am thinking
fondly of you."
Gingrich was active in the Gay rights
and AIDS movements, writing many
letters to officials and organizations
"challenging them to go beyond th~ir
limitations and be more· tolerant of other
people and their differences," he explained. Gingrich wrote these letters in
support of the American Civil Liberties
Union, Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation, ACT UP, and other organizations.
Gingrich is survived by his husband,
Stephen Burckure; good friends, Mark
Amen; Spencer Morgan; Dorece Norris;
Joe Callen; John Imboden; and Helen
Levine, all of Tampa; Jerry Carriger of
Fredericksburg, Va.; Fred Fishman; and
Larry Neff of Washington; Ericka Grav
of Boston, Mass.; parents, Lillian and Lee
Gingrich of Palm Harbor, Fla.; brother,
Bruce of Jacksonville, Fla.; and Burckure's parents, Betty and Mike Burckure
of Largo, Fla.
·
A celebration of Gingrich's life will
take place on April 3 in Clearwater A
last several years
he made a fulltime job of taking care of hjs
health and educating himself
about his illness
and current treatments.
He spent his
early
years
growing up in Ithaca. NY. and later in
Springfield, Missouri. He attended
school at the Unt"-r&ity of San Francisco and at Peter Kaump's Cooking
School in New York City.
Steven was proud of his six years of
contimloua sobriety in AA and AlAnon and will be missed by many
members of meetings that he attended who were treated to his unique way
of communicating.
He loved the arts, especially theatre.
His idea of heaven was one of hjs
perfect creme brulees, or spending
hours creating other taste treats in the
kitchen. He was a true intellectual and
not a little eccentric at times, but he
always remained open to new ideas
and the opinions of others.
He was grateful for the loving sup·
port of his mother, Maxine Graham,
expecially during his last months. He
is also survived by his sister, niece and
nephew, Susan, Cassie and San Farren, all of Springfield. He was preced·
ed in death by his father. James S.
Graham.
A celebration of his life will be held
at Most Holy Redeemer Church on
Saturdy, March 13 at 11 a.m.

transcended this life to become one

Roberto fought a short but valiant
fight against PCP in the Kaiser Hospital
on Geary Street. A caring and loving
staff made the fight much easier.
Roberto was an employee of Pacific
Bell for over 14 years. He was also very
proud of his six yeais of being clean and
sober.
Because of you, Roberto, our lives
have been enriched. You have filled the
missing link between living and existence. Thank you for sharing your
hands, your heart, your life, and your
faith.
The world has been a better place
because of you. Spiritual understanding
and loving till the end you gave to the
many who gave to you. You will be
remembered and loved by many friends
and family. Your beloved dogs Espe and
Killer wilJ miss those long walks.
Roberto, though he died before his
time, wilJ find rest. Length of days is not
what makes age honorable, nor number
of years the true measure of life.
Understanding, this is grey ha,irs, untarnished life, this is ripe old age.

Neil Greenberg's new "Not-AboutAIDS-Dance," presented on ThursdlO' night at the Kitchen, manages to
C()Jlvey, without sentimentality, not
only the horror of death, illness and
disappointment but also the meaningful ways in which life does doggedly
continue.
iBut Mr. Greenberg is not into uplift. By Integrating dance, snatches of
music and sentences projected on the
back wall of the stage, he has simply
created a spare replication of a life.
the process, he has also created an
important, moving and very beautiful
work about the experience of living in
the age of AIDS.

makes clear that some of the deaths
were from AIDS. Mr. Greenberg also
lets his audience know, by means of
the projected text, that he has had the
AIDS virus since 1987, though he wonders endearingly why he is sharing
that Infor mation.
His brother's final coma is quietly

eyes, raises his arms and moves a

June 16, 1994
On June 16, 1994 Donald Gimbert died of complications Cro_ A_IDS, enm
ding his long and courageous fight quickly and peacefully m ~ts home.
Donald was born in Jersey City, N.j. and moved to Sao Francisco after
graduating from college. For the past six years he was Senior Technical
Librarian for Bank of America at
their Technical Center in Concord.
Donald will be remembered with
love and affection by his entire family
and by his many friends who reside
on both the East and West Coasts.
Donald's passion for living life to
the fullest was extraordinary and an
enthusiasm he shared openly with
his family and friends in New Jersey
and "down the Jersey Shore" and
with his friends here in the San Fran·
cisco Bay Area. His warmth, charm,
honesty and compassion engulfed all
those around him. His passing leaves
an emptiness in many people's lives.

many of Donald's friends helped him through those diffic~lt past months;
Noreen " His Buddy;' Marj " His Nurse;· Joseph , Bruce, Christopher, Beverly, Keith and Barb. Nancy.Joanne, R?bin , Sophie, and Dian~ as wel! as Jane,
Kit and Charlene (from back home m New Jersey). Donalds sparrmg part·
ner and long-time friend , Felix, was there through both the good times and
the bad, sharing his unfailing wit, humor and support. And Debra, Donald's
"California Sister," was always there giving him e ncourageme nt and making him smile; sharing her compassion, love and commitment to him when
he needed it most.
Donald was preceded in death by his father, Walter Gimbert. and a brother,
Robert Gimbert. He is survived by his lifepartner for over 12 years, Russ
Walton; his mother, Norma Gimbert; and sisters, Jean, Nancy, Linda, Norma and Louise and brothers, Walter, Norman, Charles, Ronald and George.
No me morial service is planned but rather his family a nd friends will
· gather for a pool party celebration at his home later this summer. Contribu·
tions in Donald's memory would be appreciated and should be addressed

The pain that we feel nciw may fade in time . . . but Donald, you are in our
hearts forever and life will never be the same. We'll miss you, Donald.

As Jesu~ said, "Love one another as I have loved you. "
GLENN JAMES GOODHUE
A name carrying many titles.
His title was not one of nobility, but one far more important.
He carried titles of son, brother and friend.
Glenn was our friend, but in our hearts he was more like a brother
to my family and me.
Glenn had many good qualities.
He was a quiet, caring, talented, gentle man.
Those of us that knew him well enjoyed his great sense of humor.
With his quiet ways • when he had something to say •
Everyone paid attention ·For he could make a room full of sad people break out into laughter..
He had an extraordinary artistic talent that most would envy.
But, Glenn was very shy about sharing his talent with others.
On the afternoon of March 3. Ron
passed on from AIDS-related complications. During bis
final days bis mom
and dad were at bis
side. as were several dear friends:
Bud,
Dave.
Joseph, Kathleen
and Leslie.

�Cynthia Ann Greene's
Dying Wish Fulfilled
by Kent Brandley
When Cynthia Ann Greene died of AIDS
complicati ons at San Francisco General
Hospital last Friday, June 16, the wish she
made last Christmas was fulfilled. She was
allowed to die in the embrace of her loving
family, and not in a dismal and distant
'fS
prison cell.
Greene was released just before
Christmas last year after ACT UP, Catholic
Charities, the Coalition to Support Women
Prisoners at Chowchilla , and San Francisco
District Attorney Ario Smith acted . in support of her compassio nate release from
Chowchilla Prison.
Greene, 41, was rapidly wasting away at
the time of her release, authorities said, and
was incapable of rendering any harm.
Greene's mother, Ann, was with her
daughter until shortly before Cynthia Ann
passed into a coma and died. She called the
B.A.R. on Monday morning to tell of her
daughter's passing and_to thank those who
Pride Gillis
Dec. 7, 1967 - July 25, 1995
had been helpful to the family, particularly
the staff at San Francisco General Hospital
who had cared for her daughter as death
approached.
'They were so wonderful," Mrs. Greene
said. "She was happy because she was with
her family until the end."
Greene's case was one of those which led
the legislature to consider AB 1408, legislation to establish compassion ate release from
prison for terminally ill inmates. The measure passed the Assembly with bipartisan
support and will be considered soon by the
state Senate. It has received wide support
because it makes financial, as well as compassionate, sense.
Services for Cynthia Ann Greene will
be held Friday, June 23 at 11 a.m. at
Lewis and Ribbs Mortuary located at
6424 Third Street. The Reverend W. V.
Hudson will officiate, according to Mrs.
Greene. Arrangeme nts were delayed so
that family members from out of town
could attend. T

As we prepared ourselves for Thanksgiving
to givt God thanks for the yield of the harvtst. I would like to take this porticu/ar
time-to give speda/ thanks to almighty God
for the many wonderful people that were
brought into my life through my son
Maurice Gareau. My son, Maurice, lost the
battle to Aids on February 2, 1995 but won
the war to everlasting life with god.
Abenefit was held at Colby's on St.Joseph
Street on behalfof Maurice to help the tam
ily. This benefit was such a lovely tribute to
him. I will never forget the love that radiated through the people that night. Maurice
would have been so proud of his sisters for
their excellent performances and hardwork
to make the benefit such a success. He
would havt gotten a charge over Pepsi acting as MC with her wit and charm. I also
want to thank every one who worlced
behind the scene for their hardworlc and
financial support. This was a truly a team
effort and your worlcing together made this
benefit the success that it was. Maurice
would have bttn in awe for all your lovt
and support that you showed that night.
He was so movtd on the last Sunday night
he was at Colby's. He said "Mama I couldn't
believt the people who came up to me and
were so happy to see me and they even
talked about giving me a benefit to help
me out rather than wait until I was no
longer here~He said "/ didn't realize so
many people cared~The reason I mentioned this is because I want everyone to
know how deeply Maurice felt your lovt
and how deeply you all affected him by
your caring , lovt and support. Maurice
was so fortunate to havt such true friends.
I was truly blessed by having such a loving
son. He was my best friend, my comforter
and he was such an important part ofmy
life and he will always be. Sa thank you so
much heavenly father for my son, my son,
and for the beautiful new friends that you
brought into my life.
with love,

"THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP"
Friendship is a priceless gift
that cannot be bought or sold,
but it's value is far greater
than a mountain made of gold For gold is cold and lifeless,
it can neither see nor hear,
and in the time of trouble,
it is powerless to cheer It has no ears to listen,
no heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
or reach out a helping hand So when you ask God for a gift,
be thankful if He sends
not diamonds, pearls or riches,
but the love of real true friends.
Helen Steiner Rice
"MAY MEMORIES COMFORT YOU"
The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright sea shells on the sand.
The sun goes down but gentle warmth
still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes on
in sweet refrains ...
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful still remains.
- To my best friend, my oldest friend, and a close
friend - I miss you all so much - my life has changed
so much without your physical presence - but you will
always remain in my life. I love you all.

Herb moved to Madison with his mother
in 1987, to live in a small town and be near his

Bill Goldsworthy, 5-time all-star
in National Hockey League; at 51
"' - 9- 9~
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS - Bill Goldsworthy, an original member of the
Minnesota orth Stars and a fivetime NHL All-Star, died yesterday
of complications from AIDS. He was
,51.
Mr. Goldsworthy, who disclosed
last year that he had the disease,
, was hospitalized about a week ago.
He played 14 easo ns in the
NHL with the orth Stars, Boston
Bruins and New York Rangers. He
' was diagno ed with AIDS in Novem13er 1994, and told the Saint Paul
-Pioneer Press in February 1995 that
his health problems stemmed from
drinking and promiscuity.
"There's a tigma that comes
with AIDS that makes you think it's
something that only happens in the
homosexual community and to drug
• abusers who use dirty needles," he
said. "It's more than that."
Mr. Goldsworthy was coaching
the San Antonio Iguanas of the Central Hockey League when he was
first diagnosed.
His NHL career began with the
Bruins in 1964. He played with the
North Star s from their expansion
season of 1967 until 1977, and ended
his career with the Rangers in 1978.
Mr. Goldsworthy scored 267
goals with the North Stars, becom
ing the first NHL player fro m an expansion team to top 250 goals. His
No. 8 jersey was retired by the
North Stars in 1992.
"He was a very colorful, charismatic guy that had great speed and
strength and a great shot," said Lou
Nanne, who played with Mr. Goldsworthy and later was a coach and
general manager of the North Stars.
"It was very unpredictable what he
was going to do. He wa one of the
f1rst real charismatic Minnesota athletes that we had."
He leaves a son, William; and a
daughter, Tammy Lynn, 27.
Funeral arrangements wer e incomplete.
Sometimes you
meet someone and
a light goes on.
Abel Galvan, Jr. was
that light in the
lives of many people. His beautiful
smile and open,
friendly manner
made you feel as if
you had known
him forever. Abel was a devotee of Guru
Maharaj Ji and traveled to India in
1972. He was also a member of Dunsmuir, a Scottish Highland and Country
dance demonstration group with which
he had won numerous awards. He was
an early member of Different Spokes
and participated in the first AIDS bikea-thon. Abel was also a Vietnam vet and
a member of The Alexander Hamilton
Post, the gay post of the American Legion of Honor. He loved nothing more
than getting together with his friends.
Whether he was cutting hair, dancing or
bicycling, Abel always did his best and
gave everyone his full attention. He died
at home on May 12, 1996, with David,
his companion of 12 years at his side.
He is survived by his mother Helen
Tellez, three brothers and a sister, numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces
and cousins. In his last days, be was surrounded by family and friends.
On Friday, No-
vember 24, 1995,
Bill Gooch made
the transition from
this life to a more
peaceful place. He
leaves behind his
lover Bob Hendricks-Gooch.
In the late '80s,
he became involved
w!th the leather community, and, wit h
frie nds, began ~ Sacramaato Leather
Associatia. Bill began entering and
oaional
wi naillg
Cheeks and Chaps 11nd N'orthem California Drummer competitions in 1991.
That year, he placed fi rst runner-up in
the Mr. Sacramento Leather contest. To
bring the various Sacra mento leather
communities together, Bill created the
Leather and Feathers show and the
Leather Trek.
Owing to his passion for leather, Bill
started "Black Leather." He soon became
well-known for donat ing his leather
items to leather events and for his original pieces of Leatherwear. In early January, many of Bill's friends got together
to remember him at Sacramento's
Wreck Room. Dozens of photos
brought by those who knew him reflected the different elements of his life. All
his friends were able to remember and
relive the good times. He will be missed.

Jeffrey Michael Grossi,
partner of composer Ricky Ian
Gordon, and the inspiration
for Gordon's opera, "The Tibetan Book of the Dead," died
Aug. 1, 1996, in New York of
complicatio ns due to AIDS. He
was 32.
Gordon was introduced to
the text of the work, a guide
for the passage of the soul
through the stages of death
and rebirth, when Grossi asked
his partner to assume the role
of his reader. In Tibetan Buddhism, the text is read to a
dying person by a loved one or
teacher to ease the fears of
death and to clarify the journey of the soul afterward.
Impressed by the solace and
strength the book gave Grossi,
Gordon decided to use the text
as the basis for an opera. The
piece, with a libretto by playwright Jean-Clau de van
lttalie, was co-commissioned
by the Houston Grand Opera
and the Philadelphi a-based
American Music Theater Festival, and was presented in
June in Philadelphi a. Grossi
was able to attend the premiere, which Gordon dedicated
to him.
Grossi was born and raised
in Wilmington , Del., where he
attended St . Mark's High
School. He later studied at the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, and
was employed by Air France.
He and Gordon were partners
for four years.
· In addition to Gor'd on,
Grossi is survived by his father, Francis J. Grossi; his
mother and stepfather ,
Yvonne and Bob Nass; his sister, Paula Grossi; a niece and
a nephew.
A memorial service was
held Aug. 5 at St. Joseph's
Church in Yorkville, N.Y. A
star magnolia tree will be
planted over Grossi's ashes at
11 a.m. Aug. 10 on the grounds
of the Montessori School,

Alberto Gomalez,

TAMPA, Fla. - The
Tampa Tribune, a daily
newspaper in Florida, recently rejected a Gay
man's effort to place a
paid memorial notice following the death of his
partner, saying newspaper
policy requires that a family member place or approve such ads.
GLAAD Dispatch, a
publication of the Gay and
Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation, reported in
its July issue that the Tribune refused the ad from
Tampa resident Barry
Adams even though
Adams explained that his
partner, Jack Girard, had
not seen his relatives fo
nine years.
GLAAD reports that
the Tri~une 's policy says
paid memorials "may only
be taken from a spouse or
close family blood relative
of the deceased" and that
the only exceptions allowed are those approved
by blood relatives. S'-'l

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

�Gilberto Ferr:iz of Springfield, Illinois,
died at his home on Thursday, May 6,
1993, of complications associated with
AIDS, according LO his life partner,
Patrick Baikauskas, also of Springfield.
He died on hi s 32nd birthday .
Fcrraz was born in Sao Paolo, Brazil
and raised on his family's farm in Garca,
Brazil. In 1977 he studied English at
Cambridge, England. He moved in the
late 1970s to the United States after the
divorce of his parents, settling with his
mother in :lvliarni, Fla., where he completed his secondary education.
Ferraz attended Dade County Community College for two years and was
accepted at the ·Boston Architectural Center in Boston, :\1ass., where he received a
degree in architecture. After graduating in
1986 he worked for the internationally
known architectural firm of Cambridge
Seven in Boston.
Ferraz returned to Miami in 1989 and
worked as an instructor in architecture
and design at Dade County Community
College.
"As a teacher, Gilberto found a real
love and his students quickly found in
their young teacher an inspiration and
mentor and were injected with his love
for design and his constant support for ·
their work," Baikauskas said.
Ferraz met Baikauskas, his partner for
life, in Miami in 1990. In June of the
same year he moved to Washington , D.C.
and worked as an administrative assistant
for the Green Cross Clinic and later as an
administrative assistant.and translator for
the Center for Natural and Traditional
Medicine (CNTM), an organization dedicated to find ing natural medicines and
procedures to combat AIDS. Ferraz represented CNTM at the 1992 International
AIDS Conference in Amsterdam.
He worked for CNTM until his health
problems forced him to give up his
position. Baikauskas changed jobs at that
time and they both moved to Baltimore,
Md., where Ferraz was able to pursue his
love of art. He had one showing of his
drawings at the Baltimore Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects (AIA)
and studied painting at Towson State
University.
Baikauskas changed jobs again
March of 1993 and Ferraz moved w,
him to Springfield, Ill., where he spe
his final weeks.
"There are many things for whit
Gilberto can be remembered, but chi
among them will be his gentle spirit, l·
courage and faith, his charm and u
failing kindness to all he met," sa
Baikauskas.
In addition to Baikauskas, Ferraz
survived by his father, Marcello Ferraz
Sao Paolo; his mother, Josephine Ferr
of :rvliami; a sister, Christina Ferraz:
brother, Ricardo Ferraz; niece, Anapac
Ferraz; and nephew, Alex Ferraz, all
Miami; his former wife and canst.:
friend, Giselle Ferreira of Boston Mas
friend, Roy Brcimon of D.C.; and ma:
other close friends in this count~y, E
rope, and Brazil.
Ferraz's remains were cremated a1
the ashes will be interred in the vario
places in which he lived.
A memorial service will be held SatL
day, May 29, at St. Francis Church at t.
Mother house of the Third order of :
Francis in Springfield.

Roger Forsythe, head designer for
the Perry Ellis Group, the men's wear
company, died on Sunday at New York
University Medical Center. He was 36
years old and lived in Manhattan.
He died of lymphatic cancer, a company spokesman said.
Mr. Forsythe, who was born in Missouri and raised in Texas, was recruited by the group in 1988 as vice president and men's design director. His
assignment was to restore -the humor
and verve in sportswear that had characterized the originals of Perry Ellis. .
Mr. Forsythe's design direction
proved so successful, the company
said, that its sales of men's wear had
soared from a yearly rate of $15 million
to more than $100 million since his
arrival. Revenues for Perry Ellis a
division of the Salant Corporation, had
slumped after Mr. EJlis's death in 1986.
Mr. Forsythe earned a business degree from the University of Houston
and then moved to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City,
where he graduated with an associate
degree in applied sciences, specializing
in men's wear, in 1982. He worked for
Jean Paul Germaine, Kenneth Gordon
and D. D. Dominick, and was director
of men's, women's and children's
sportswear collections at Basic Elements before he joined the Ellis Group.
His companion was Peter Fressola
of Manhattan.
Mr. Forsythe is survived by his fa• )

James Ford, a sculptor and print
maker, died on Tuesday at his home in
Manhattan. He was 45 years old.
He died of ArDS, said his companion,
Peter Reed.
Mr. Ford was known for austere
sculptures that made use of a wide
range of materials: glass, water, steel
and copper. Recently, he had produced
monumental works that related to his
struggle with AIDS, using images
drawn from laboratory equipment.
Over the last few years, he did a number of sculptures for public spaces,
including a Veterans Memorial Fountain for Columbus, Ohio, and a Veterans Memorial Plaza for Winston-Salem, N.C.
A master print maker, he was inclu.
ed in a large 1990 survey called "
Unique Print" at the Museum of F
Arts in Boston. He also designed •
number of sets for dance groups,
eluding the Contemporary Ba1
headed by Mr. Reed, and the N
Wiener Dance Company.
Mr. Ford was born in Yuma, Ariz. He
graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1960 and
received a Master of Fine Arts degree
there in 197'2.

�Kevin Flynn died early Monday morning, Nov. 10, at Mtmachuseus General
Hospital as a result of AIDS. He is sorely
missed by many friends and relatives.
Kevin was 31 years old and had lived in
Boston for the last 12 years. Most recently, he lived in Dorchester and prior to
that, the South End. He was born and
spent his childhood in Brockton, where he
attended the Brockton Public School System. Kevin was a partner in the auto body
repair shop, Bodyworks. He had worked
for a time as a sous chef at the Four
Seasons Hotel,andasa waiter atAppley's
in the Sheraton. In the last couple of years,
he had devoted his considerable energy
and talents to AIDS activism. He was a
memberofthe AIDS Coalition to Unleash
Power (ACT UP/Boston). He planned,
attended and got arrested at several ACT
UP demonstrations.
Kevin was a warm, highly intelligent
and extremely perceptive person. He understood people and he understood loss.
He had a wonderful sense of humor. He
was kind and loving, but could wield a
razor-sharp wit.
He was an accomplished musician,
writer and poet, and a truly excellent cook.
He knew the difference between rosemary and dill, which was a distinction that
escaped some of his friends. He could
whip up a five-star meal on very short
notice.
Kevin 's passing leaves a hole in the

from a Caribbean cruise in March. As
Tim's condition grew serious, they moved

relatively happy; Tim's humor, bravery,

to the House of .Representatives' Com
mittee on Standards of Official Conduc~
in its inquiry into charges that Korean
officials had bribed members of Congress and the executive branch to sus
tain support for continuing large-scale
military aid to South Korea. The inquiry led to the conviction of former Rep.

charges of conspiring to defr.aud the

GovemmenL
After several years in private practice, Mr. Fortuin moved to California to
work for Technicolor Inc., the film processing company, after the New York

staffed with part-time
help. As his work's
reputation grew, he occu pied the storefront space at 1772 Market St .. the subsequent site of two restaurants, Brad Forrest (1985)
and Hea rtland Cafe (1993). Brad was know n in the catering business fo r the spectacular large events he hel ped produce and as
a restauranteur of taste and talent. Mr. Forrest was very involved in fundraising for the Democratic Party, on a local and national
level, as well as many Bay Area AIDS service organizations.

Barbara Fass binder Dies at 40;
Nurse With AIDS Traced to Jo
~-~-e,,y
By TIM HILCHEY
Barbara Fassbinder, one of the
first health care professionals to be
infected with the AIDS virus while
on the job, died on Tuesday at the
University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics in Iowa City. She was 40 and
lived in Monona, Iowa.
The cause was complications from
AIDS, the hospital said.
Mrs. Fassbinder was infected with
H.I.V., the .v irus that causes AIDS, in
1986 while helping treat a patient in
the emergency room of Memorial
Hospital in Prairie du Chien, Wis.
While she was pressing gauze on a
needle puncture, the patient's blood
apparently mingled with her blood
through small cuts on her hand from
gardening, she said in 1990. The
young man died, and an autopsy
showed he had AIDS. But it was not
until January 1987, when she tried to
make a blood donation, that she discovered she had been infected.
She and her family kept the infection a secret until she decided to
speak out in 1990. "My biggest fear
was how the community would react
to me and my kids and my husband," she said at a news conference
in Iowa City in which she told her
story in the hope that It would warn
other health-care workers. The 1,500
people of Monona, a farming community in northeastern Iowa, gave
her family "nothing but support,"
she said at the time.
"She was a gentle giant in the
world of AIDS," said Dr. Michael
Osterholm, an AIDS expert and epidemiologist with the Minnesota Department of Health who became a
friend of her family. "She helped
bridge the gap between the worlds of
the health care provider and the
AIDS patient in need of competent
and compassionate care like no one
else could."
Mrs. Fassbinder traveled extensively in the next few years, talking
to people about AIDS and how to
prevent infection by H.I.V., Dr. Osterholm said. She · testified about
AIDS before Congress, and in 1992
she was recognized by the Surgeon
General and the Department of
Health and Human Services for her
work.
She also served on the National
Health care Reform ·committee set
up by HiUary Rodham Clinton and
was a member of the Iowa State
F~~C~~~

said.

A family friend, Bonnie Webber of
New York, said that once Mrs. F
binder made her condition pu
,
"she didn't stop trying to get 'the
word out about the disease and t~.
ing to educate.her peers about holfto
protect themselves."
Barbara A. Herring Fassbin
was born Sept. 29, 1953, In Mar
Iowa. She received a bachelor
science degree in nursing from the
University of Iowa in 1975.
She is survived by her husband,
David; two daughters, Eva and Emily, and a son, Joel, all of Monona; her
parents, James and Ethel Herring,
of Marion, Iowa; three sisters, Kalllryn Fassbinder, of Elgin, Jowl,
Mary Walston of Kewaunee, Willl,,

Thanks for making
my loss bearable
My dear son Patrick Clarke Fussell died at
his Piano Craft Guild apartment on Thursday,
March 30, after a long illness braveJy borne.
I really want this letter to be a tn~ute to_all
those people who did so much for h~ durmg
his illness, which was long and pamful: to
Deaconess Hospital, and the doctor and nurses
who gave him such marvelous car~; to S~ntha

made his going a tranquil event for Pa~ck; to
Beverley, his home care lady; to Melame and

people at Alcoholics Anon~ous; to the staff
here at the Piano Factory, helpmgateverytum;
to AIDS Action Committee; to the visiting
acuouncturists; and to al] the people who had
a hand in his care. Also, to Bob the Chefs

memorial service.
Of course, I was here for five weeks last year
when he was on life support and in a coma,
from which he made an amazing recovery, but
he just slipped away from us a week ago.
I cannot believe all the kindness and hospitality my younger son and I have received. God
bless you all. Your kindness has made the whole

�Richard Frank, 42
Actor in theater, TV
LOS ANGELES - Richard
Frank, a critically acclaimed stage
actor who achieved his greatest popularity as Jules Bennett on the television series "Anything but Love,"
died Sunday of complications of
AIDS. He was 42.
Mr. Frank, who usually portrayed gay roles, was a versatile actor equally comfortable with Shakespeare and modern works. He
earned praise for his performance as
attorney Roy Cohn in the landmark
play "Angels in America - Millennium Approaches" at the Mark Taper
Forum in Los Angeles.
He earned the 1991 Los Angeles
Drama Critics Circle Award for his
pe1formance as the homosexual window dresser Molina in "Kiss of the
Spider Woman" at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa. He had also
performed the role to good East
Coast reviews in 1988 at the Yale
Repertory Theatre in New Haven.
Earlier this year, Mr. Frank had
played a bisexual theater director in
the national touring production of
''The Sisters Rosensweig."
When "Sisters" was presented in
his hometown of Boston, Mr. Frank
was asked if he ever worried about
forgetting lines on stage.
"That's the biggest theater myth
of all," he replied. "The lines are
·· learned during rehearsal. What con. cerns you is losing focus. You need
to keep concentrated."
Although he considered theater
the purest form of acting, Mr. Frank
also appeared in films, most notably
as Salieri's confessor in "Amadeus"
in 1985, and on TV.
Let me introduce you to Carlos
Ferreira, one of your neighbors, born
Nov. 4, 1964 in Brazil, youngest of 11
children of Marni Amelia, grandmother
of 27 and great grandmother of six babies Carlos had never seen or held in his
arms. Eight and one-half years ago Carlos
came to America, pursued his happiness, loved life, his family and friends,
loved liberty, loved his adopted country, and his unshaken belief in the tarnished American dream made him more
American than I, even though he didn't
have the papers to prove it.
When I first saw him I thought he was
too short for his pants, but his eyes were
dark and beautiful. He spoke no English
then and I only a little Spanish, but he
was sweet and charming and funny, and
he had the patience of a mule. He was the
bravest and most stubborn man I have
ever met, contrary, opinionated, selfeducated, sharp, and those dimples. Call
it what you will. We called it love for
eight years.
You don't ask a dying man to move
out of his home. At the very leasf it is
very rude. When Carlos was at the final
stage of his illness, AIDS, housebound
and fully disabled, he spoke out publicly
against the shameful threatened collapse,
with a push and a shove, of rent control
without adequate protections for low
and moderate income people. He asked

if people here had a heart. He thought
such behavior was unacceptable to any
notion of basic human decency and
dignity. And he thought it important
enough to speak up for those who might
be unable to speak up for themselves.
A week and a half before Carlos died
he held onto our kitchen window and
shouted out to you, " I love you. I love
you all. I love everyone and everything.
I really do!" This is what I believe he
would want me to say.

�Tuck Finn Dies at 50
by Kent Brandley
One of the founders of the
Shades Project fundraising program to benefit the AIDS Emergency Fund. Tucker Finn, died
November 28 from AIDS complications. '(?
Born May 24, 1945 in Columbus, Ohio, Finn came to California
in 1950. He was a Vietnam Veteran and talented designer, but many
other aspects of his life remain an
enigma today, even to his closest
friends. Even his name was his
own invention.
He lived out the last years of
his life at Peter Claver House, a
Catholic Charities residence for
people with AIDS, and was instrumental in establishing and maintaining a unique rose garden there.
Lee Bossen, Finn's significant
other for the last seven months,
told the B.A. R. that Finn had
promised him the roses at the garden would bloom for Christmas,
and they did.
"Nature was his mainstay - his
real love of life," Bossen said.
"His real love was the rose garden."
Finn built the soil with mulch
and chicken manure he carted to
the facility on a regular and dedicated basis. He was also fond of
birds and hung hummingbird
feeders within the rose garden.
"He had a particular affection
for hummingbirds," Bossen recalled.
Finn also had an affection for
South of Market bars, and was a

resident of Arlington, Virginia,
and former Republican staff direc tor of the
Hou se Gov ernment Operations
Committee, died
Saturday, August
31, 199 6, of
AID S-r ela ted
complications in his hometown of Ced
ar
Rapids, Iowa, according to his brot
her,
Andrew Fletcher of Minneapolis, Min
nesota.
Fletcher was born Dec. 8, 1954,
in
Cedar Rapids and graduated from Was
hington High School in Cedar Rap
ids,
where he was an award-winning quar
terback on the school's football team
.
Fletcher later graduated with a bachelor
's
degree from Colorado State Universit
y in
Fort Collins, and a master's degree from
George Washington University in D.C
.
U.S. Rep. Steve Gunder:son (R-Wis.)
described Fletcher as a ·'good friend."
"We were introduced to each other
in
the spring of 1983 by somebody
who
said that we had too much in com
mon
not to know each other," Gunderson
recalled.
Among their similarities, Gunderson
said, was that both were Gay, grew up
in
the Midwest, and were sons of Chevrol
et
dealers.
Fletcher worked as a legislative assis
tant in Gunderson 's office from
June
1985 to March 1987. He also served
o
the committee staffs of Reps. Frank
Horton (R-N.Y.) and William Clinger
(RPa.), and he had worked on the Nati
onal
Republican Senatorial Committee.
Most recently, Fletcher served as the
Republican staff director of the
U.S.
House of Representatives Committee
on
Government Operations. He retired from
that position in December 1994.
Fletcher testified before the Hou
se
Commerce Committee on April 5, 1995
during hearings on the reauthorization
of
the Ryan White CARE Act.
"I know many other staffers on the Hill
suffering from AIDS, and they have
suffered basically in silence. There is
a lot
of fear, fear about wh.at going publ
ic
might mean for their boss, worryin
g
about the politics, but it is right here
on
Capitol Hill, and I just was hoping
to
give a little face to it," Fletcher said in
his
testimony.
"I would hope that this committ
ee
would reauthori:re the Act in· as stron
ga
manner as possible," he concluded.
"Matt was one of those people who excelled on Capitol Hi11, and he was
the
same <>rdinary, decent guy to all
his
friends," Gunderson said.
Fletcher was preceded in death by his
partner of 17 years, John J. Dent of
Arlington, Va.
Fletcher is survived by his parents,
Marnie and William C. Fletcher of Ced
ar
Rapids; another brother, Daniel,
of
Cincinnati, Ohio; a godson; and addition
1\1 family and friends, including the parents and sisters of his partner, Dent.
Funeral services were held Sept. 3 in
Cedar Rapids. Fletcher's remains were
cremated. The ashes were retained by
the
family.

campus. In a 1990 Manshots
interview, commenting on
his time there, he said, "The
entire time I was there I
never had a problem from
anybody , and it was a real
redneck environment. But if
you are very secure with
yourself, if you really
believe in your lifestyle, people sense that and leave you
alone. They don't mess with
you when you feel strongly
about something. I never
forgot that, and that's how I
decided to live my life. I
have no· regrets."
Anderson moved to
California in 1988, first living in Riverside and Costa
Mesa before settling in West
Los Angeles two years later.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

POMONA, Calif. (AP) - Ross Doud Eckert, an
educator who sounde d one of the earliest alanns
about the risks of contracting AIDS through blood
transfusions, died Friday of AIDS complications. He
was 53.
Eckert, a Claremont McKenna College professor,
received blood transfusions his entire life to treat
hemopnilia, and his interest in the safety of the blood
supply began long before he was found to be infected
with the virus that causes AIDS.
In 1984, early in the AIDS crisis, Eckert warne d in
editorial in the Los Angeles nmes: "Evidence is
an
growing that acquired immun e deficiency syndrome
may pose a serious threat to our blood supply."
He served on the US Food and Drug

from 1987-91.

John Martin Ekdahl
May 22, 1952 - April 20, 1996
Inn keeper, world traveler, ice skater
and longtime Delta Airlines employee,
John Martin Ekdahl lost his long battle
to HIV disease, breathing his last breath
surrounded by family and loved ones.
He is survived by his partner of 18 years,
Steven Hyske; as well his mother, Edna;
brothers, Michael and Fritz; niece,
Sarah; nephews, Mike Jr. and Kevin; and
a long list of dear friends and associates.
· Originally from Calumet, Mich., John
lived in Chicago and Phoenix before settling in Berkeley in 1979. An employee
with Delta Airlines for more than 20
years, he traveled the world from Sydney
to Santorini to Nairobi to Stockholm.
In 1985, John achieved a lifelong ambition to open up his own bed and breakfast inn, restoring and renovating a his·
toric 1902 Berkeley Brown Shingle house ·
to become the Elmwood House. A member of the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce, John was also an active member of
the East Bay Business and Professional
Alliance, which awarded him their lifetime achievement award in 1995.
John's caring, gentle spirit will be
sorely missed by those who knew him.

The charity is one of seven supported by The New York Times

sick or elderly. The Times pays a.II
administrative costs so that contributions to the fund can go directly to
the charities. This year's campaign
ends Feb. 29.
As a result of catholic Charities'
help, Kai was buried at St. Mary' s
Hospital for Children, where she
died. It may not ease the pain of the
loss, but it is one less burden for Ms.
Copes to bear, knowing that her
niece had a proper goodbye.

NAMES Project Workshop and Education Center co-coordinator Bonnie
Ulmer.
"She reached so many people and
touched so many lives," Ulmer said.
Eshmont was born in Florida on Jan.
27, 1926, according to NAMES Project
volunteer Dennis Cunningham. As a
child, she and her family moved to Washington, D.C., where she lived most of her
life. In the early 1980s she retired from
her job as a reservations agent at Delta
Airlines, where she had worked for 17
yeaFS.

Eshmont began volunteering with various AIDS-related organizations in the
D.C. area. She was one of the earliest
members of the local NAMES Project
chapter, which she joined in 1989 after
sewing an AIDS Memorial Quilt panel
in memory of her son. According to
Cunningham, she worked at every national display of the Quilt between 1989
and 1996 and spoke about AIDS and the
NAMES Project at outreaches and educational events throughout the area. She
helped to organize a major display of
the Quilt at Coolidge High School as
well as the first display of the Quilt in
North Carolina. She was particularly
proud of that effort, Cunningham remembered.
In addition to her work with the
NAMES Project, Eshmont volunteered at
Northern Virginia AIDS Ministry and as
a buddy at the Whitman-Walker Clinic.

Ross-E bert died May 18,
1996, ofthe disease at his home
in the Barclay Farms section
of Cherry Hill.
After being diagnosed as
HIV-positive at age 22, Ross-
Ebert gave his first public talk
in 1985 as part of a NAMES
Project AIDS Memorial Quilt
display in Philade lphia.
The speech provided the
firsthin tofhis powerful speaking abilitie s and his honesty .
In it, Ross-E bert discuss ed
openly how he had lost his job
in Florida as a regiona l sales
manage r for a New York Citybased design firm when he
decided "naively" to be honest
with his employers. He also
told of longtime friends retreating from his life.
But he also shared with the
listener s how the disease had
brought his family together as
never before.
And he shared his real
fears: "I am not as worried
about myselfas I am about my
2-year-old niece and my 4year-old nephew. I worry if
they will contrac t this deadly
disease when they become
sexuall y active; just because
they were ill-infor med and
lead to believe that this is a
gay disease."
The following year, RossEbert spoke before family-life
classes in Cherry Hill High
School East, where had been a
membe r of the class of 1982.
Instrum ental in getting him
to speak was Joan Saltzer, now
retired from East.
"He was very nervous and
he told me he was concerned
about how the kids would react," she recalled. "And he was
worried about rejection."
The talk went very well, he
was "a powerful speaker ...
articula te, completely honest
and open to any questions,"
Saltzer said. "And after class,
the kids gathere d around him"
�with questions and compliments on his presentation.
Soon Ross-Ebert was talking to groups of all kinds elementary-school classes,
high-school classes, church
and youth groups, and school
parent-teacher associations.
At his peak, he was delivering
messages to a number of
classes in a day and then to a
PTAgroupin the evening. But
as the illness took its toll, he
gradually had to reduce his
speaking engagements to once
a week and then to one every
two weeks.
Occasionally, his openness
was viewed as controversial
by some parent groups and an
occasional student.
"I can honestly say Andrew
has saved lives by teaching
kids about the choices they
can make," Saltzer said. "At
the end of the school year,
nine out of 10 students in my
classes would always say that
Andrew had the most impact
of any speaker during the
year."
His mother, Virginia
Polinak Ross, estimated that
her son had spoken to 75,000
people in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. In
seeking out forums to deliver
his message, Ross-Ebert had
worked through Area Health
Education Services in Camden
and with the AIDS Coalition
of Southern New Jersey,
where he became the speakers bureau's main speaker for
some time, and, finally, with
.the South Jersey Council on
AIDS.
His life partner, John RossEbert, recalled that Andrew
Ross-Ebert had been filled
with energy, and when lie
could no longer direct it toard his career, he "re-directed [it] to getting out the
message about the disease to
others," he said. "He was the
outgoing Leo, with a very quick
and sharp wit. He could penetrate most people's lines of
defense and befriend them before they knew it."
Ross-Ebert delivered his
last talk on AIDS in May 1995
at the Johnson School, where
he had once been a student.
In his final years, RossEbert pursued the unusual
hobby of designing miniature
houses and rooms and furnishing them with everything in
proper scale-from furniture
to people, and a trademark
giraffe, his mother said. Many
ofthe scale-model rooms were
gifts to friends.
Joan Saltzer, who received
one of the custom creations,
said, "each room was designed
to reflect what impact you had
on his life. He gave me a room
filled with children ... and said
it was because of all the
children's lives I had had an
impact on."
Prior to his speaking career, Ross-Ebert attended the
Maryland Institute College o
Art in Baltimore. His favorite
area hangout was Woody's.
In addition to his life partner and mother, Ross-Ebert is
survived by two sisters, Susan Flynn and Ginger Vukas;
andonenieceandon enephew.
Memorial services were
held May 28 at the Unitarian
UniversalistChurch in Cherry
Hill.

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

�Brad Davis Blasts AIDS -phob ia
in Hollywood
Actor's Posthumous Criticisms Put Spotlight on Industry Discrimination
BY JAMES RYA N
nt erviews wit h dozens of
agents, stars, directors, and
producers show that the community is di vided over
whether or not AIDS-phobia ·
is rampant in the entertainL - - - . . . . J ment indust ry. Actor Brad
Davis, who died Sept. 8, tested positive for
HIV six years ago but kept his illness a
secret from even his closest friends. A
Golden Globe winner for his portrayal of
Billy Hayes in t he 1978 film Midnight E xpress, Davis declined to take advantage of
insurance benefits offered by the three
actors unions he had joined. Instead, he
paid his medical expenses out of pocket,
fearful that even the slightest rumor of his
HIV status would get him blacklisted.
Was Davis's fear warranted? Although
people in the Hollywood community are
divided on the topic, most believe that
he was right to err on the side of caution.
"Of course it was warranted: says playwright Larry Kramer, one of the few
friends Davis confided in. "If anyone thinks
that having HIV doesn't preclude them
from just about anything in t his country,
they're mistaken."
"AIDS-phobia is even stronger than
homophobia in Hollywood; says J ehan
Agrama, copresident of the Los Angeles
chapter of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance
Against Defamation, a media watchdog
group. "There hasn't been a clear message
from the top about discrimination."
·Some in Hollywood, though, would take
issue with Kramer's and Agrama's
assessments. Record- and movie-industry
mogul David Geffen asserts, "I believe that
the industry as a whole is run by a great
many people who are extraordinarily sympathetic who would not be disinclined to
employ people either because they are gay
or HIV-positive. . .. If it were me making

Brad Davis in the film Quere/le (1982)
He was fearful that rumors of his HIV status
would get him blacklisted in Hollywood.
t he decision, it wouldn't be a problem. I
think, speaking for most of the studios, they
are a very compassionate group of people."
New York casting agent Leonard Finger,
who knew Davis when t he actor was starting out in theater, agrees. "Davis overreacted, and it was very unwarranted,"
Finger states. "There are a lot of people out
there who are sick and are working. The
one time where there is prejudice is when
someone is gravely ill and there's worry
about finishing the film."
Hollywood's highly competitive and subjective casting process, which is tied to
medical insurance requkements, provides a
multitude of reasons why an actor should
fear to go public with an illness like AIDS,
says filmmaker Gus Van Sant. "Brad might
not have worked because he had AIDs:' he
says. "For the smallest reasons people don't
use people. On a movie, everyone goes in for
a medical checkup because the bond company isn't goingto give t he moneyunless the
principals are in top shape. A bond company

AIDS. Davis wouldn't have gotten bonded, so
he wouldn't have gotten lead parts."
Furthermore, because Hollywood lacks
its own AIDS support organization, points
out Rodger McFarlane, executive director
of Broadway Cares, an AIDS support
group for the theater community, Davis
and other Hollywood actors were forced to
turn to his agency in New York for assistance. "I know literally dozens of wellknown people and some extremely famous
faces, more famous than Brad's, who have
Hiv:' says McFarlane.
Big-name actors may represent only the
tip of the iceberg. If minor players, screenwriters, directors, and members of the
crafts unions are included, the numbers
hiding their HIV status might be in the
thousands. "There are 50,000 actors and
hundreds of thousands of others in this industry," says McFarlane. "There have to be
several thousand people who need help, and
only 200 have applied to the Actor's Fund
[which provides AIDS support and services to performers]. They are not getting
the help they need and are living in fear and
isolation. There are people with HIV working on every movie set, every TV show,
behind and in front of the cameras. It's not
a question of, Can they work? or Do they
work? but, Would they work if we knew?"
Since few members of the Hollywood
community have been willing to go on the
record as either gay or HIV-positive, the industry's compassion has yet to be fully
tested. "Davis would have been the test
case if he had gone public six months agO:
says actor and AIDS activist Michael
Kearns, who was prompted by Davis's
posthumous revelation to go public a week
later with his own HIV-positive status.~
can't keep behaving in a way dictated by insurance companies, Hollywood monarchs,
and casting agents, or were going to keep
perpetuating the stereotypes and misconceptions."

Davidson, 28, of
Washington, D.C., died Friday, October
30, 1992, at Bellwood General Hospital
in Bellflower, California. A friend, Sean
Seidell of Washington, refused to disclose the cause of death.
Davidson had worked as a banquet

was a member of several 12-step

By LAURA RAPOSA
Larry Damato, 34
Jordan Marsh senior art director
Larry Damato, senior art director at Jordan Marsh, died of AIDS
yesterday at his home in Boston's
South End. He was 34.
Since joining the store in 1985,
Mr. Damato had been responsible
for the art direction of catalogs and
newspaper advertisements of home
furnishings. Previously he worked
for Bloomingdale's, Butterick Patterns and Revlon in New York.
Mr. Damato was honored by the
Retail Advertising Conference for
his fall 1989 furniture ad in Boston
magazine.
He leaves his parents, Alfred and
Marcia Damato of North Miami; two
sisters, Melanie Ford of New York
and Diane Lavenstein of Baltimore;
and his companion, Terry Stewart of
the South End.
A memorial service will be held
at 3:30 p.m. today in Waterman Funeral Home in Kenmore Square.
Ron Doyle, media critic for
the Middlesex News, died yesterday of complications related to AIDS. He was 33.
Mr. Doyle started his career
at a Canadian tabloid and joined
the News in 1981 after receiving
his master's degree in journal·
ism from Boston University.
He rose quickly from his
first job - editorial assistant
in the News' Waltham bureau
- to a series of reporting jobs,
including a seat In the press
room at the State House and
finally media critic.
His wit gained him some notoriety during the latest gubernatorial race when he
dubbed Herald columnist

Jerry Williams and Barbara
Anderson of the Citizens for
Limited Taxation, "the three
governors."

was a graduate
of St. John's
Uni,,ersity and a
member of the
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He was
a computer specialist for 15 years with
the U.S. Department of the 1reaaury
·
both in New York and San Fnmcia:o.
During his five years of life with.AIDS,
Joe devoted himself to new and
enriching enterprises: ceramics. study
of the Italian language. and volunteer
work with the Shanti Project. His love
of Italian food and culture resulted in
wonderful journeys to Rome and
Venice, and to his ancestral origins in
the Abruzzi and Sicily.

m so excited," seems
to sum up the attitude of Ruth Pointer
about her perfor mance tonight at the Hot Hot.
Fiesta at Avalon.
"We'll be fired up onstage,
and we'll be fired up after we're
done," said Ruth, who, with her
sisters June and Anita, will perform in a benefit for the Fenay Community Health Center
hat also includes an appearance by Rita Moreno.
The money will go to AIDS
awareness, education and research, a cause close to the new
Massachuse tts resident's heart.
"We have lost countless
friends to this horrible disase,'' Pointer said. "I lost my
earest friend to AIDS last
ear
.
"He owned a beauty salon in
verly Hills, and he did our
air for many of our album
vers and photo shoots. I knew
omething was wrong, but he
ouldn't talk about It. Then we
opped In one day, and everyY in the salon just stared at

way six weeks ago.' I couldn't
lleve It. Even now, U I think
bout it too long, I cry."
Diaco singer Sylvester, an-
'I '
other AIDS fatality r got the
Pointer Sisters their first paid
gig backing him up for $15 each
at the Peppermint Tree in San
Francisco. The travel agent
that took care of the sisters'
tour plans throughout the years
also succumbed to the disease.
"It just has wreaked havoc
throughout the industry," she
said, "so I feel a lot of emotion
about the concert. I know my
sisters do too, and I'm sure it'll
come through when we sing.''
Pointer said the trio will
· perform to tracks for a half
hour and include most of their
best-known hits from their twodecade history, including "Neutron Dance," "Jump," "Slow
Hand" and "I'm So Excited,"
along with the new single
"Don't Walk Away."
"We've been performing for
so long that getting onstage
doesn't intimidate us anymore," she said. "We really enjoy it now, so when we do a
·short show like at this benefit
... it's almost a tease. We'll be
fired up onstage, and we'll be
fired up after we're done for a
few hours.''
Poillter said the benefit also
gives her sisters the opportunity to see her newborn twins for
the first time. Ruth moved to
southern Massachuse tts from
Malibu in July when the twins
were born because her husband
is a Bay State native and his
family still lives here.
The trio just released a new
disc, "Only Sisters Can Do
That." It was produced by
Peter Wolf (not the former J.
Geils vocalist ), whose credits
include Hart, the Starship and
the soundtrack to "Top Gun."
Pointer said he is an expert at
mixing the new technology
with the basics, and she's
pleased with the results, which
include two of Maya Angelou's
poems set to the tune of ''It
Ain't a Man's World.''
"My sisters and I have coneluded this album is a tribute to
women, particularly women of
experience . . . meaning ourselves, I guess," she said with a
laugh. "We just feel it exhibits
our knowledge of life and displays our professional abilities
and the relaxed state we're in.''
Bein ·
h
g m t e same group
with her sisters for 20 years
has been a unique experience,
she said.
"It's really a test of your
character," she said. "I'm tellin' you, you love 'em to death,
and they can really get on your
nerves, and you can't tell 'em to
go away," she said. "You have
to keep lovin' 'em, and it
teaches you how to love unconditionally."

• December 1994
June 24, 1945
n the late afternoon of December 8, 1994, our dear
friend Kenneth Robert Dixon, after a brief hospitalization for AIDS related illnesses, left us to play
a bigger theater. He is survived by his mothe r
lolean Dixon of Chicago, Ulinois: and long-time
friends Peter De Stefano and Stephanie Johnson.
re
When Ken Dixon took over the leadership of Theat
ceros in 1987, he said "I want the theater to chalRhino
the
lenge its audiences in the coming years. Ultimately,
ience will move everyone forward into the
whole exper
year
next decade." How right he was. During his threeor of the count ry's oldest gay and
tenure as artistic direct

mote a national presence with
mission.
(Continued from page 35)
the production of "Quis bies" at
Ktnne dy Cente r, and he
worked to broaden its commitment so that it would speak for
and to the multicultural gay and
lesbian community. By including women and people of color
on stage and expanding and
diversifying audiences, he was
instru menta l in secur ing an
NEA grant that was critical to
the theatr e's financial stability.
Born in Chicago and trained
in clinic al psych ology (he
earne d an M.A. from Boston
University), Ken at one time
led the human resources division of a Fortune 500 company.
But he sensed that there was
more to life and left the world
of suits to pursue bis true: love,
theater. He studied acting with
Jeu Shelton and Prak Geraci
and musical theatre with David
Craig.
33
As a performer. Keat worked
around the globe. In 1980 he
wmt to Amsterdam. where he
worked in theatre for five years.
(Yes, he was spontaneous,
involv ed, and comm itted to
enjoy ing life in the moment!)
As he noted later, ..In
Amsterdam, for the first time in
my life, my race was not the
first thing that came up. It
· allowed me to stop being black
first and becom e a gay person
first - who happe ned to be
black. That eased a lot of the
tensio n for me." While in
Amsterdam he appeared in proAmer ican
at
ducti ons
tory Theatre, numerous
Reper
cabar et evenings, and his first
one-man show, Just a Man. ..
With his one-m an show s
Ken was able to give voice to
his personal beliefs and merge
person,es. n 1988 he performed his
secon d one-man show, "Wha t
Make s a Man ..." at Exit
Theater. A cabaret- style revue
of 17 songs ranging from Fats
Waller to recent show tunes,
the evening revealed what it's
like to be black, gay and an
artist in Amer ica
Ken travel ed twice to
Sydney, Australia to participate
in their Gay Mard i Gras
Festival. He observed, "As long
as we live in a society that is
racist and sexist, minority theatre is clearly necessary...it is
the only way we can perpetuate
the survival and growt h of our
distinct culture."
When Ken achie ved the
goals he had set for himse lf at
Theatre Rhinoceros, he moved
into a position with University
of California at San Francisco
as a comp uter consultant to
their deveiopmeni department.
He coatinaed to ~on n ad
direct and drew on bu COlllpllter skills to create sound designs
for bis last oae-man show, "AU
Prese nt," which was performed
at Rhino in 1992.
In an interview with Robert
Julian, Ken said, "I'm about
having a high quality of living.
I don't mean financial comfort,
I just mean getting up every
day knowing I'm doing something I really want to do and
that I love." As his many loving
friends remember his community involvement, enthusiasm
and dedication, his engaging
presence on and off stage, they
can only agree that he achieved
that goal for himself and for
others.
A celebration of Ken's life
will be held at Theatre
Rhinoceros at 3 p.m., January
8, 1995. For further information, call (415) 563-2769. 'Y ·

James Joseph Dowalib y
James Joseph Dowaliby of San Francisco, who was born in Lawrence and
spent most of his life in Boston, returned
to this area on February 3 and died
March 13 after a courageous struggle
with AIDS.
He was a graduate of Cornwall Academy and attended Salem State College
and Northeastern University. James
owned a small store in Provincetown
and also worked as a real estate agent in
Dorchester, but his life's work was as a
waiter in some of Boston's best restaurants. James was most comfortable being the hosr and entertainer, so he continued his career as a waiter in California until just a few months before he
passed away. James will be remembered
by many women in Boston as the token
man at Somewhere Else. He was the
doorman and also put together some of
the festive special events and a number

�Detrick Memorial To Be Held Today
by Dennis Conkin
A memorial service honoring
the life of gay business leader,
philanthropist, and former Police
Commissioner David Detrick is
scheduled for 3 p.m. today
(Thursday, August 3) at Grace
Cathedral in San Francisco.
Detrick, 45, died on July 26 at
Kaiser Hospital in Redwood City,
of complications related to AIDS.

An AIDS Researcher
? .. ~~- Y.!'
Paul Harding Douglas, an AIDS
researcher at New York HospitalCornell Medical Center and co-author of two reference books on the
disease, died on Friday at New Yor~
Hospital. He was 37 and lived in
Manhattan.
The cause wa:s AIDS, said Dr. Michael F. Giordano, a colleague at the
medical center.
Even as a youngster, Mr. Douglas
was "avid for science books," according to the memoir of his grandfather Paul H. Douglas, who represented Illinois in the United States
Senate from 1949 to 1967.
Mr. Douglas received a bachelor's
degree from Harvard University in
1981 and two master's degrees in
computer science from Columbia, in
1984 and 1985. At Columbia, he was a
co-founder of the Gay Health Advocacy Project, with Laura Pinsky.
Mr. Douglas and Ms. Pinsky wrote
"The Essential AIDS Fact Book"
(Pocket Books), a primer published
in 1987 and reissued in 1992. With
Craig Metroka, they also wrote "The
Essential H.I.V. Treatment Fact
Book" (Pocket Books, 1992).
In 1992, Mr. Douglas was appointed a research associate at the AIDS
clinical trials unit at Cornell. Two
years later, he became executive
director of the unit's activities that
are supported by the American
Foundation for AIDS Research.
He is survived by his companion,
Gary Ledet; his parents, Paul Wolff
and Colette Smith Douglas, of Manhattan; two sisters, Dr. carolyn
Douglas of Manhattan and Christine
Douglas Tansey of Bristol, R.I., and
a brother, Philip, of Manhattan.

Bachelor of Arts degree from the
University of Oregon in 1972 and
later began his business career in
the luggage industry at the French
Company in Los Angeles.
He returned to the Bay Area in
1974 to run Malm Luggage, a firm
established in 1886 by his greatgrandfather. After expanding the
firm into a nine-store chain,
Detrick became a partner with
Louis Vuitton, Inc. to open and
operate the French firm's Sutter
Street boutique.
During his life, Detrick championed the cause of equal rights
for the lesbian and gay community, and was appointed by Mayor
Frank Jordan to the San Francisco
Police Commission in 1993. He
resigned from that post last year
because of illness.
"I am deeply saddened to learn
of the death of David Detrick,''.
Jordan said. "I had the privilege of
appointing him to the Police
Commission, where he did an outstanding job and always put the
interests of the city ahead of his
own.
"He will be truly missed by
those of us who had the honor to
know him."
San Francisco Supervisor
Migden called Detrick's death "a
great loss" to the community.
"David Detrick had a long and
valiant struggle with AIDS,"
Migden told the Bay Area
Reporter. "He fought hard. He

Fidel felt hopeless due to his illness,

always saying, "I cannot stand this anymore; I want 10 go once and for all."

Stuart John Davidson
May 4, 1961- May 12, 1996
To say I miss him is an understatement. To spend time with Stuart was to
experience positive thinking, intellect,
wit and kindness. All of these characteristics remained until the last. His hospital room in Seattle was flooded with visitors from everywhere. During these visits, he was mainly concerned about attending to the needs of his guests: "If
you need anything, let me know." Stoically, Stuart never complained about
his condition. Even as his voice grew
faint and whispery, he joked, "lam talking like Marilyn Monroe."
Stuart was a thoughtful friend - always keeping in touch with cards and
letters. Sometimes he would slip a sprig
of green cedar inside a letter, instructing
me to crush it and take in the aroma. To
me, that was what Stuart was all about embracing life and taking it all in, often
with boylike curiosity.
Was it a short life? Yes. But the richness of Stuart's existence has been a gift
to many. Even his departure was a kind
of gift. When he breathed his last, he
lifted up his head and smiled radiantly.

1958, Darga attended Paul K. Cousino
Sr. High School in Warren, Mich., where
he graduated at the top of his class.

sored, published, and broadcast on C

"A personable man with an insatiable
curiosity and brilliant mind, Robert could
grasp the nuances of subjects as diverse
as science, the arts, current events, and
politics, discourse expertly on arcane scientific or literary topics, while loving
nothing better than a game of cards with
friends," Dailey said.
In addition to Dailey, Darga is sur-
v1ved by his mother, Josephine Louise

Davila was known for his
perpetual smile and childlike1
exuberance. His habit of say-'

A tile setter by trade, he

�Bruce Decker, ph il an ~p is t, succumbs at 45
Gay philanthropis t Bruce Decker,
45, an influential Gay Republican who
helped found several AIDS organjzations during his lifetime, died Saturday, November 1 1 of AIDS-related
causes at his home in Beverly Hills,
Califo rnia, accord ing to his close
friend and colleague, Rick Reidy of
Hollywood, California.
An active and openly Gay member
of the Republican Party throughout the
1980s, Decker also was highly dedicated to AIDS research, education, and
treatment, serving as a political consultant, corporate strategist, and philanthropist. He served as president and
atiQnal Gav Reoub· " ··
lican group Concerned PJnenc ans to
Individual Rights (CAIR), and helped
found a number of AIDS research organizations, including the Health Policy and Research Foundation of Los
Angeles. As the foundation's president,
Decker coordinated long-term planning and funding for AIDS intervention projects.
Decker also served as a consultant to
pharmaceutical companies regarding
the product development and marketing of AIDS drugs. Last year, Decker
and the Health Policy and Research
Foundation were among several re-
spondents in a complaint charging that
Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical
company paid AIDS organizations to
promote the company's HIV antibody
home testing kit. Decker acknowledged working as a consultant to Johnson & Johnson, saying he believed the
test would benefit the public and those
at risk for HIV.
In 1987, several prominent Republicans pushed for Decker to be named to
the National AIDS Commission, a
body established by legislation introduced by then-Sen. Pete Wilson (RCalif.) . Wilson and others reportedly
had urged Repub lican Presid ent

Decker served in 1986 as finance
chairperson of the successful $2.5 million campaign to defeat California's
Proposition 64, a ballot initiative that
called for quarantining people with the
AIDS virus.
In 1985, Decker assisted Elizabeth
Taylor, Dr. Michael Gottlieb, and Dr.
Mathilde Krim in founding the American Foundation for AIDS Research
(AmFAR), the first national organization dedicated to AIDS fundjng and research. He was also co-creator of the
World AIDS Vaccine Initiative, an ad-
Carter, a Democrat.
Decker was appointed chairperson
of the California AIDS Advisory Committee by Gov. George Deukmejian in
1984. He resigned in 1988, however, to
protest the governor's support of legislation that Decker felt would have restricted privacy rights for people with
HIV and AIDS, said Reidy.
Born in 1950 in Palo Alto, Calif.,
Decker graduated in 1968 from the
Robert Louis Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, Calif., and in 1972 from the

Dorland, 46, died
at his home in
Bethesda, Maryland, on Saturday, February 17,
1996, after a long
illness, according
to bis close
friend, Gregory
Sanchez of
Washington, D.C.
Sanchez would not disclose the cau
of death.
Dorland was born in Washington, D.C.
on Sept. 16, 1949, and grew up in
Bethesda. Dorland held a lifelong love
for the arts, beginning at the Walter Johnson High School, where he was active in
the chorus and theater. He graduated
from high school in 1967, and earned an
associate 's degree from Montgomery
Co11ege in Rockville in 1970, where he
was cofounder of the school's Summer
Fun day camp for underprivileged children, Sanchez said.
Shortly after college. Dorland learned
to apply his artistic talents to floral
arrangements when he began working as
a florist with Steve Harney, his life partner of ten years. Harney later died after a
long illness.
In I 990, Dorland opened his own floral design shop, "Gary and Company,"
where he later worked with Sanchez to
establish the company's reputation as experts in floral design, Sanchez said.
"His passion was flowers," Sanchez
said. Dorland also enjoyed times spent by
the sea at Rehoboth Beach, Del., Fire Island, and Hawaii.
Dorland will be remembered for his
creative spark and giving nature. He voluntarily created floral arrangements for
fundraising events for nonprofit groups
such as Northern Virginia Hospice, the
National Kidney Foundation, and Food
and Friends.
"He was extremely generous," said
Suzanne McMahon of Food and Friends,
who said Dorland created a "spectacular"
floral display for Food and Friends'
"Chef's Best" fundraiser last year.
In addition to Sanchez, Dorland is survived by his mother and father, Ginger
Leese Dorland and Edward Dorland of
Washington, D.C.; a sister and brother-inlaw, Debi and Jorge Lagueruela and their
children Megan, Evan, and Eric Lagueruela, all of Trinity, N.C.; and many
friends.
James R. Douglass, 48, of
Washington,
D.C., died Monday, March 11, at
the Washington
Home hospice,
due to AIDS-related complications, according
to his friend and
former supervisor, Reed V.
Waller, of Bethesda, Maryland.
Douglass was born May 27, 1947, in
Detroit, Mich. He attended Schoolcraft
College in Detroit and served with the
U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1967 until he
was honorably discharged in I 969.
For 25 years, Douglass served as a
payroll supervisor and systems and management analyst for the federal government. He worked for the Department of
Defense (including assignments in San
Francisco; Indianapolis, Ind.; Fort
Richardson, Alaska; D.C.; and Belgium)
and the Department of the Treasury in
D.C. before transferring in 1990 to the
Department of Justice, also in D.C. At
Justice, Douglass served as deputy project manager for the implementation of a
new payroll system.
"Douglass will be remembered as a
gallant, generous, and loyal friend and
family member," Waller said.
Douglass was a financial contributor to
Whitman-Walker Clinic, the Gay Men's
Chorus of Washington, and the American
Foundation for AIDS Research
(AmFAR). He enjoyed collecting art,
hosting parties, and traveling.
Douglass was predeceased by his partner, Brent Lee Marbais, who died August
31, 1993, of AIDS-related complications.
In addition to Waller, Douglass is survived by two sisters, Joyce Coleman (his
twin) and Diana Pascas of Detroit; two

�Vict or D'Lu gin
Victor F. D' Lugin, a promine nt gay and
IDS activist, political philosopher and
teacher, died of AIDS August 13 at his
home in Provincetown. He was 51 . 9~
D' Lugin had lived with the virus for
more than a decade, dedicating the last I0
years of his life to a vocal, visible crusade
against the epidemic.
Born in New York, the son of the late
Sam and Lee (Horowitz) D'Lugin , he held
a doctorate in political science from New
York University and taught for seven years
at Fordham University. He came to Hartford , Conn. , in 198 l as an assistant professor of political philosophy at the University of Hartford. He was tenured in 1992
and retired in 1995 due to increa<;ing AIDSrelated health problems. He had spent
summers in Provincetown since 1991 and
moved there permanently upon his retirement. He a lso lived fo r a year in
Northampton , Mass.
D' Lu gin was a key player in the passage
ofConnecti cut's groundbreaking gay rights
law in 1991. His eloquent testimony in
front of the Connecticut General Assembly was widely credited with convincing
even some of the bill 's most ardent opponents that such a law was needed in the
state.
It was D' Lugin who spearheaded the
successful campaign to prevent the collection of the names of those who tested
positive for the AIDS virus in the state,
arguing that it was an invasion of privacy
and a deterrent for many in receiving necessary services.
In 1995, he was instrumental in restructuring the Provincetown AIDS Support
Group to provide for greater client access
and influence in policy and development.

Stephen Donaldson, born Robert Martin on July 27, 1946, died in New York
City on July 18. He was 50.
Though he legally changed his name,
Donaldson is remembered to most early
gay activists by his original name.
As Robert Martin, he organized the
first gay group on a college campus, the
Student Homophile League at Columbia
University, an event which was reported
on the front page of the New York Times
in 1967. He was an active member of he
Mattach ine Society and the bisexual
movement. In 1972 Martin was, according to Randy Shilts in "Conduc t Unbecoming," the first sailor in the U.S. Navy
to fight his discharge on the grounds of
sexual orientation. The following year, in
Washington, D.C., he was arrested in a
Quaker anti-war demonstration and became the first survivor of a prison rape to
speak out publicly on the subject.
A prolific writeron sexual-political topics (New York Times, Harper's) and an
assistant editor of the "Encyclopedia of
· Homosexuality," Stephen Donaldson was
the president of Stop Prisoner Rape and
appeared earlier this year on "CBS 60
Minutes" to discuss that cause.
He is survived by his stepmother and
three brothers. Donations may be made in
his memory to Stop Prisoner Rape, P.O.

born in Meridian,
Miss., and made his
home here in San
Francisco for over
20years.
His career as a travel agent allowed j
him to fulfill his passion for travel. Ken's
life was dedicated to his family and
friends. He will be remember ed for his
witty sense of humor, warm smile, his
fabulous Southern/C reole cooking and
his love for the simple things in life.
Ken is survived by his partner,
Charles; his mother, Shirley King;
brother, Eugene; his family;,and friends.
In his memory, donations can be made

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

�The Cadwells Were Living in l>ittslield

Years Before There Was a Pittsi-ield
On an old cobbler'• bench in the
middle of the room .ls the sword
of Dali Cadwell, who had Loyalist
sympathies but still rose to major
in the Revolutionary ..Army. Also,
one of his epaulettes. Also a wolf
trap.
Around the room is arranged a
cheese press, a whey basket, reels
for winding yarn, models of
barques, hand-made shoes, aged
clocks that still run.
The Cadwells rarely threw anything away, and documentl that
go back generations tell a story
· that parallels the history of the
nation. The oldest ia a deed d~ed
1
1742. All the Cadwell men kept
accounts, and in one such book 1
the first William's - is recorded
a safari to Albany with two teams
of oxen, and back with one team
of oxen and a barrel of whisky.
Probably medicinal, say the present CadwelJs.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Carangi

Her fall from grace led to homele.ssness,

�With her son dying of AIDS, a mother describes how her whole family struggled
together to overcome social stigma, suffering and fear with unyielding faith,
compassion and love for one another. By Virginia M. Conlon
..MICHAEL CONLON was a good
sori".'tteclieaor,A:JDS on April 28,
1989, peacefully, at home. His
father and I, along with his three
brothers, five sisters and a priest,
were at his bedside.
Two years and eight months
earlier, Michael had tested positive for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). After his
diagnosis and initial hospitalization with pneumocystis pneumonia, he came home to us- with
AIDS. At 39 years of age, Michael
resigned his position with the
American Council on Education,
and gave up his apartment and
life in Washington, D.C. After
20 years of living independ ently
and successfully, he came to
Rutherford to live with his 60year-old parents. This is how
Mike chose to end his days.
Our whole family began the
process of assimilating Mike, his
illness, numerous hospitalizations
and all the crises of AIDS into our
lives. Our oldest son, Jim, is the
only one of our nine who lives
some distance away- in Milwaukee-with his wife and our
two oldest granddaughters. Our
married daughters, Mary and
Kate, live locally with their husbands, and each has a boy and a
girl. Gina, Terry, Joe, Jean and
Tom, the unmarried ones, all have
apartments close by. So in this
very personal real-life drama
Mike would not be alone.
As Michael prepared to move
home, he knew better than we d id
what he was asking of us. Though
burdened about asking, he
wanted to be where he could be
close to-and rely on-his family.
The implications of that request
gradually became apparent as
we watched the relentless progress of the disease and were
drawn more and more into Mike's
caretaking. My husband and r
wondered if we were physically
up to this. Mike was infected with
the virus, but AIDS was happening to us all. I began keeping a
daily account of our involvement

Filling 'Grand Hotel'1 iSi

By David Patrick Stearns
USA TODAY
NEW YORK - Though there
weren't enough places for the 31 cast
members of the Broadway musi~
Grand Hotel to sit at RCA's Studio A,
a large leather sofa was conspicuou~
ly vacant
That was where the show's handsome, charismatic leading man, David Carroll, had rested before collapsing and dying in the studio. It
happened during a recording session
scheduled especially for Carroll,
who had AIDS and was slipping fast
He never made it to the micrc~
phones, and three weeks later, when
the rest of the cast did, nobody sat on
the sofa out of respect "It's a very
odd situation," says Brett Barrett,
who is recording Carroll's role as
Baron Felix Von Gaigem "It took
them so long to get the recording together, and it's sad that David wasn't
able to do it"
No recent show as successful as
Grand Hotel has made such a belated - and troubled - original<ast
recording.
When Hotel opened 2 ~ years ago,
Tommy Tune's direction was unanimously praised, but the score was
not. Many speculated the show
wouldn't last and no recording was
made. Instead, it won five Tony
Awards, and recently survived a
move to a larger theater.
"It's a lesson in how Broadway bas
changed," says co-composer Maury
Yeston. "The fact that there's even a
question about doing a cast album
shows bow commercialized Broadway has become."
At first, the recording was delayed
because of legal complications resulting from dual authorship. Some
of the songs were written by the vete r an songwriting team Robert
Wright and George Forrest Others
were written by Yestoo, brought in
during the out-of-town tryout
When an agreement was hammered out, numerous recording
dates were scheduled with three different labels, but the lnances never
seemed to come together. Finally, a
number of key parties sacrificed royalties so that it could be done inexpensively. It may prove to be too late
from a commercial standpoint, since
the marketing interest in the show
probably has peaked.
"But every time you think Grand
Hotel is down, it comes back," says
Bill Rosenfield of RCA. ''The show
bas a great deal of staying power,
and it has generated so much interest over the past 2 ~ years."
One major catch: The recording
had to be done at breakneck speed in
a single day. And somehow, all the
original cast members (except for
Carroll) were able to make it
Jane Krakowski. who played the
seductive stenographer Flaemmchen, still had a few weeks before
starting the Alex Haley miniseries
Queen. Michael Jeter had a week's
break from taping TV's Evening
Shade to fty back to New York and
reprise his Tony Award-winning performance of the dying bookeeper.
Some cast members had gone on
to the touring production, which was
in nearby Scranton, Pa. Because
some bad been out of the show so
long, impromptu rehearsals were
held in the hallways of the RCA executive offices.
'1 had a ftutter of nerves in my
system because so much time had
passed," Krakowski says. "But once
we all started singing together again,
it all snapped back. You remember
the reason you said every sentence,
clear as day."
Oddly enough, there were no

clashes. Everyone seemed grateful
to be there at last - and determined
not to m~ it up. Also, Carroll's memorial service had been the day before, and their grief was fresh.
"I never thought that at age 23, I'd
have to deal with the death of my
colleagues," Krakowski says.
But Carroll will be beard on the album. His voice was the one part of
him spared by the disease, and he
had made isolated concert appearances until three weeks before bis
death. Tapes of some appearances
have surfaced, and as a result, bis
version of Love Can't Happen will
appear as an appendix on the album.
"It was one of those ideas that everybody had," Rosenfield says. "A lot
of the reason why I wanted to do the
album was to get David Carroll on
tape. Years from now, people will
understand what a wonderful Broadway leading man was lost to AIDS.''
"His voice was like a bird that rues

light on you," Jeter said at Carroll's
memorial "I envied him a lot"
Mr. Carabineris leaves his parents, John Sr. and Grace (Hicks), of
Danvers; three sisters, Susan Wll-kins of Lynn, Sharyn Meyers of Peabody, and Nancy Lewis of·Danvers;
a stepbrother, Peter Spinney of Essex; and his friend, Robert J. Publicover.
A funeral service will be held at 7
p.m. tomorrow in the United Methodist Church in Somerville. Burial
will be at 11 a.m. Saturday in Puritan Lawn Cemetery, Peabody.

all of his 14 years. "Now it seems

AIDS became the disease-nextdoor when Randy Clark came to town
from San Francisco to spend his final
m~ths with his family. In 1986 he
told his widowed mother, Jean Coulter Clark, that he was homosexual.
ifwo years later, at the age of 31, he ,
told her he had been diqnosed as

The Wa ll of Honor to
which Click referred is a roster located inside the entrance
of the Hall of Justice, at 850
Bryant S treet.
"Inspector Cady is the first
known SFP D officer to be infected with AIDS while on
duty performing his duties as
a peace officer. The ensuing
suffering and slow death
greatly surpasses any suddenly violent death incident
which will place other officers' names on the WaJI;' said
Click, who is a sergeant in the
San Francisco Sheriffs Department.
Chief of Police Anthony
Ribera told the Bay Area R eporter that although an administrative law judge did
rule that Cady contracted the
diseases in the line of duty,
inclusion on the Wall is reserved for officers who have
been killed "right on the spot"
in the line of duty.
Ribera said that other officers have contracted and died
of other disease in the line of
duty- such as lead poisoning,
heart disease, and tuberculosis - have not been included
on the the roster.
Click is critical of the Police Department's decision;
the GSPOA membership is
urging the Department to
change the policy, and has
started lobbying Mayor Jordan and the Police Commission for a policv chanire. 'Y

his secret investigation of Prime Minister Olof Palme's assassination, died
today. He was 44 years old.
He had been suffering from AIDS.
Mr. carlsson, a former confidant of
Mr. Palme, felt that the police had
inadequately pursued suggestions that
ta Kurdish rebel group was responsible

1986. He approached top Swedish law

Pan of Mr. Carlsson's investigation

when his bodyguard was caught smuggling illegal bugging devices into Sweden from Denmark to be used in his
quiry.

Revelations about his investigation
led to an uproar, bringing the resignaJions of the Justice Minister, Anna'Greta Leljon; the bead of national~

'· The cause was AIDS, said Jennie
Livingston, the director of the 1991
film.
After "Paris Is Burning," Mr. C~rey

sharing his experiences as a person with
AIDS, especially with studenlS. He was
also involved with the Mind/Body and
~ ec~ ve~j

Nicholas in the spring of 1993. In addition to his work in Hartford area nightclubs,
he was a color technician at "Studio" of West Hartford. He was formerly
employed by Le Coupe in New York City and was a contributor to Shambhala
Project in Hartford.
"In the six years I knew Nicholas, I found
him to be a man true to himself and his convictions. He was dedicated, committed, energetic
and extremely talented. But above all, he was
honest and a true gentleman," saidINNewsWeeklY
Associate Publisher Michele Piccolo. "I always
listened hard when Nick spoke to me because he
was wise and always right. He taught me that the
way to really help others is to listen to them and
to keep the focus on being the best person you
can be."
He is survived by his Life partner, Daniel S. Brewer of Windsor; his molher
Barbara Chigo.s; his grandmother Alice Bolio; and a brother, John Chig~. all of
Hudson, Florida. He also leaves several aunts and uncles, among them, Peter and
Jinny Argiros ofMarlborough, and godchildren Jes.sica and Peter Argiros. He was
predeceased by his father, Demetrios Nicholas Chigos, and a brother, William
Chig~. The funeral was held on September 16 at All Saints Orthodox Church
in Hartford, and the burial was in Palisado Cemetery in Windsor. ~ f l.3

9onspiracy
Bill Cosby - one of America's richest
and most powerful entertainers chose Thanksgiving to dip into a little
conspiracy thinking. On the CNN show
"Showbiz Today," Cosby - in the midst
of talking about Magic J ohnson and
AIDS - said that J ohnson's contraction of the virus "will aid this worJd in
finding a cure for something I think
was started by human beings to get
after certain people they didn't like."
In short. in a roundabout, thinkingout-loud sort of way. Cosby is helping
fuel the AIDS conspiracy theory.
The theory isn't new: The Soviet KGB
used to plant stories in the African
press depicting AIDS as the invention
of American military scientists (Gorbachev put a stop to the practice
shortly after he came to power).
In the United States, the fantasy that
AIDS (or. in another variation. crack)
are part of a genocidal government
campaign against blacks crops up
,from time to time among fringe activists. <Leonard Jeffries played with the
notion on the ''Geraldo" show several
year s ago.)

My Brother Died
�of AIDS'
(Opposite page)
Jeanne Cotter brings
youthful energy to
her ministry as
composer, performer
and teacher. {This
page) Jeanne and her
husband, David Haas,
give a training workshop to a regional
gathering of parish
musicians at St.
Anne's Convent in
Melbourne, Kentucky.
eanne Cotter's fingers fly across the grand piano
keyboard. Every inch of her seems absorbed in the
effort; she prays her notes become "little droplets
of grace" to the 600 people listening in her audience. This could be any of the concerts in her
current 25-city holiday concert tour, or the hundreds she has performed around the nation ~uring the
past few years. After a while, she stops her music and
begins to tell a story, one about faith. Her husband, the
renowned composer and performer David Haas, comes
closer and places a comforting hand on her shoulder:
Jeanne is going to tell how Richard Cotter, her brother,
died of AIDS.
As 29-year-old Jeanne relates the story of AIDS coming
to a Catholic family, in this case striking down the parish
accompanist, some in the audience weep quietly. Now
finished, she plays the keys more softly. She pours her
heart and lilting voice into a song she wrote: "After the
rain comes a cool breeze, blowing across the field. After
the rain let that cool breeze blow softly over you." Now
come thunderous applause and standing ovation from the
crowd filling this Kentucky church, turned concert hall for
the evening.
A few months after seeing her perform, I caught up with
Jeanne Cotter for a St. Anthony Messenger interview in
Anaheim, California. She was performing there for the
annual Religious Education Congress sponsored by the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
It would have been interesting to hear Cotter's opinions
about music in liturgy. That would have been a story all in
itself. She is part of the close-knit group of Twin Cities,
Minnesota, musicians who are creating songs that prove
Catholics can sing. "On Eagles' Wings," "Gather Us In"
and "Blest Are They" are examples. Jeanne sings, performs and records with the composers of these songs.
Now, though, in a quiet room in Anaheim, it is the time
to talk about life and death, the meaning of Christian faith,
about how the Cotter family gathered at her brother's
bedside one Easter and found reconciliation. "I think
catastrophic things have the power to transform," Cotter
says. "Our Church needs to wake up to this: We're being
asked t0 change, to reach out to persons with AIDS and
their families." She says, "There is something magic in
retelling our stories." In the telling, the stories can open
our hearts to one another.
Nurture and Nature
Jeanne Cotter's story starts in her childhood home in
Austin, Minnesota, hometown of Hormel Meats and
�Spam, she brags with a laugh. Her
family's was a "hobby farm." Milking
the family cow, Bossy, gardening and
tending a few pigs was the only
farming the Cotters did. They rented
out their fields.
There was a grand piano .in her
li ving room and an upright in the
kitchen, s he recalls. It was at the piano
that s he and her brother Richard
forged a close relationship. Brother
urgi11g s ister along, together they
filled the house with music.
Jemine grew up to become a composer of melodies and arrangements
hea rd in Catholic churches and
households throughout the United
States and beyond. Richard Cotter, a
year older than Jeanne, grew up to
become a pastora l mus ician, too,
working in paris hes in the Twin
Cities. He was the oldest of the Cotter
children.
Jeanne describes Richard as the
more tale nted of the pair, a child
prodigy. "Richie kept me goi ng on
the piano," she explains. "He constantly mad e up music ga mes and
demanded I play them with him." She
admits she hated piano lessons when
she was a child.
Jea1111e's father, Richard Cotter, Sr.,
is a la"',yer; it was Beverly Cotter, an
English and theater teacher, singer:
and pianist, w ho taught her children
to play piano. All told, there were 10
Cotter children, five of them adopted
from Native American, AfricanAmerican and Indian families.
Young Jeanne was in a youth choral
group at her parish. 'That's where I
firs t knew that I just had to sing!" she
exclaims. The group sang the early
songs of Catholic folk-mus ic hero Joe
Wise, who remains an ins piration to
Jeanne to .this day.
Jeanne spent much of her teen years
as accompanist at Mass while her
mother was cantor. Filling in with
music depending on how fast the offertory procession went, how many
people came up for Communion-or
w hatever-was how s he lea rned
piano improvisation so well, she explains. Then s he moved to St. Paul to
s tudy music. Richard went off to
otre Dame to study French, history
and music.
While in St. Paul, Jeanne fell in love
with and eventually married the budding performer David Haas, in October 1988. Richard became a close
part of Jeanne's new family when he
moved to St. Paul from Notre Dame.
He became accompanist for several
pari s hes and a computer programmer for a major financial company in Minnea polis.
Jeanne had been aware since the
time Richard finis hed college that he
was homosexual. "I could accept it
without too much trouble for a lot of
reasons," she explains. "For one, I' m
part of tltis generation." (She was
born in 1964.) Some of her friends in
the performing arts are gay, so "it
wasn't a shock to me." She loved her
brother and wanted him to be happy,
Jeanne says. "T feel people jump to
conclusions quickly," s he add s. "[ did
not wa nt to pass judgment on him."
ft was harder for her parents, says
Jeanne. The Church teaches that homosexual orientation is no sin, but
that homosexual behavior is. "Our
lives really did revolve incredibly
arow1d the Church," explains Jeanne.
"Having a gay son challenged my
parents' tmders tanding about sexual
morality, to say nothing of their alienation from friend s, neighbors and
Church. ] think the cultural alienation
was much easier for them to accept
tha n the a lie nati on from the
Church-one priest told my parents
the 'd emons of homosexuality' could
be exorcised out of Richie."
Ultimately, though, Jeanne says her
father would credit his namesake son
as his "red emption."
AIDS Strikes
In 1989 Richard caught a cold that
he couldn' t get rid of. [t got so bad he
thought he had walking pneumonia.
He went to a hospital, was admitted
�and found out he had AIDS. That was
Thanksgiving week. During the next
two years he and his family coped
with his condition, "hoping against
hope" that it would not be fatal.
"What was awkward was the inability to taJk about it and wanting to
respect Richie's need for privacy,"
Jeanne bemoans. The entire family
feared the consequences that could
come from a public disclosure of
Richie's illness: He could have lost
both of his jobs and become an outcast. "God knows he was suffering
enough, but that he was afraid of
consequences made it far more difficult," says Cotter.
"I remember standing in a field and
just screaming at Rich, 'Say somethjng! Tell me somethlng1 Don't shut
me out!' " Although Jeanne says she
will never know everything he went
through, she suspects her brother was
filled with shame. She remembers one
painfuJ night when she heard him
crying alone in his room (he stayed
with her sometimes when he was
sick). "It tore me apart to hear him
crying because I knew he was wrestling and not real vocal about it."
As time went on, though, the Cotter
family decided to keep silent no
longer. "We as a family slowly came
to be able to talk about it, to be able to
acknowledge and to express our frustrations."
Richard was especially afraid he
would lose hls job as accompanist.
"There are so many horror stories. It
was a big risk as to how the parish
was going to respond if they found
out.. ..Such an important part of his
life was hls parish and hls music ministry there. He was very afraid to put
that in jeopardy."
Richard and his family kept his secret for as long as they could. During
the summer of 1991 he began treatment for CMV, a virus that attacks the
retina. His mother heard of an experimental treatment in Milan, Italy, and
�took her son there late in the year. The
vims prevailed, though: When he returned home he was biind.
"The reality hit that he probably
was not going to live to see a cure,"
tells Jeanne. Up to that time Richard
had never seemed very ill and the
family had kept up hope. He had
hidden his pain from family and coworkers. Now he became frail, and
without vision he could no longer
keep up with his computer work. He
quit his office job, and Jeanne began to
play a longside him at Masses. "I
ended up being his eyes for him," she
there was more put things into a different perspective."
A Dream Realized
Now Richard was dying, confinues
Jeanne, and everyone knew it. When
he became blind, people in his parish,
St. John Neumann in Eagan, Minnesota, caught on. "Richie, thank God,
had a parish that ended up standing
behind him and supporting him 100
percent," recalls Jeanne. "It took a
long time for him to be able to trust
that. ...There is still such incredible
hysteria that happens." She calls to
mind a Twin Cities parish that was in
an uproar because a former convent
was converted to an AIDS hospice. "I
was infuriated!" she says-embar rassed for her Church. "But I know I
watched a community living the
gospel at St. John Neumann."
Rather than shun Richard, their
accompanist, the parish embraced
him. Parishioners provided emotional and physical support for him so
that he could keep working wi th dignity until he became too sick to work.
It was the children, Richard's greatest
fans, who urged their parents toward
compassion. The parents allowed their children to remain
close to Richard. When Jeanne
was unavailable as accompanist, they hired an assistant to
help him provide their music
for three months after he became blind.
"The parish was very upfront about Richard's AIDS,"
remembers Jeanne. They
began an adult education program around AIDS to foster
understanding. Parishioners
volunteered to drive Richard

says, now on the edge of tears herself
as she tells the story.
She would tell him what key to
play in or would play the pieces that
requfred sight reading. lt was very
important to Richard that he keep
playing music, says Jeanne. One gets
a sense of Jeanne's inner joy as she
describes those days: "lt was wonderful for me, because l felt needed
for something that was so meaningful."
Brother and sister also spent many
hours talking. Jeanne describes
Richard as very faith-filled: "When
we would talk or argue, Rich was able
to let go of things where I would want
to fight it out....One of his lines was,
'Bess [his nickname for her], it's going
to be all right.'
"Richie knew that there was something more than just this life as we
know it, especially as death became
more of a reality. He fought like a dog
to stay alive. But his acceptance that

his parish fam ·:/ who gave to Richard
a sense of normalcy and of l:>eing
loved,'' recalls Jeanne. Parishioners
even carried a bnnner, "We Love You,
Richard_" in a 1992 AIDS walk in Minneapolis.
Thi? clock was ticking for Jeanne
and Richard. They had planned to
record an album together one day,:
now t!1e idea became urgent. ""'fwo

1992] we went into the recording
studio and recorded Coming Home," a

from "Pange Lingua Gloriosi," "Were
You There?" and "Panis Angelicus" to
David Haas's songs from the Gather
hymnal and originals that Jeanne
composed. Brother and sister take
turns playing delicate piano arrangements on the album.
"Richie was running a fever and
sic.k \.-\· hile we · ,ere recording; it be.--1me very important not to put it off,"
rccl'J!ls Jeanne. Recording gave Jea:1ne
anti Richard a chance to share once
again in the way they had while
growing up together. "There's a lot of
sadness and love packed into it," says
Jeanne.
After such serious recording session3, there was nothing to do but
laugh, she recalls. "We got to sharing
childhood stories and remembered
how we usPd t1 fight over who had to
milk the cow." Out of that "sidesplitting laughter" came the album's
dedication: 'To the memory of Bossy,
our wonder cow."
A New Sense of Who Jesus Is
The Cotter family got together that
Easter 1992, for the first time since
Jeanne's wedding four years earlier.
Jeanne's and Richard's album was recorded, and the two of them had even
joined their sister Anne and David
Haas to perform a Minneapolis concert. Now Richard was deathly ill.
Richard could no longer go to
church, so the family decided to have
a prayer service at home Easter afternoon. The experience gave Jeanne "a
new understanding of Easter." The.
family gathered around Rich.ard's
bed . David led them in singing. No
one knew what would happen next.
"My father had s truggled so much
with knowing how to love this son
who broke all the rules of what a man
was supposed to be," explains Jeanne.
She describes her father as an "Irish
Catholic" man who did not easily express emotion. But it was Richard, Sr.,
who opened the floodgates for the
fami ly to say their good-byes to his
oldest son. "My dad started to cry. He
went up to Richie, who wrapped his
arms around my dad and let him cry.
Dad asked Richie to forgive him. For
all of us kic;s to watch that-that' s
what love and healing are all about."
The rest of the family then, in turn,
talked with Richard, tells Cotter.
"Each one of us had an issue to clear
with Rich, something to talk about
with him." Jeanne's was her anger
and resentment at being left behind,
now with the role of oldest child, she
says. Her older brother put her at
ease, promising he would live on in
spirit as the oldest. "He wasn't sure
what exactly it would be like, but he
would still be with :.is- as the oldest!"
Jeanne laughs.
A teenage brother who is part
Ojibwa said a Native America:,
blessing, praying Richard would be
blessed on his journey, as he went
ai.<:?ad i.~ q the life beyond this world.
Tow. '¥~Jheend ofRkhard'slife,St.
John Neu:.nartn Parish did what they
could to h~,p tne entire Cotter family.
"We had more food than we could
handle for three months!" Jeanne
gratefully remembers. There were
volunteer housecleaners ahd prayer
vigils. A parishioner who is a chiropractor gave Richard regular massage treatments to ease his pain.
Brother and sister listened to their
album together when it came out in
May 1992. One week later, May 2.0,
Richard passed away.
�r
Faith's Calling
After going through such a painful
experience, Jeanne has new eyes: '1
desperately needed my faith," she
says. She despera tely needed her
Church, too, she adds, and it was
there for her. The Church 's many imperfections might continu e to bother
her but, "when something so personal and so importa nt happen s,
everything else falls into a different
perspective," she says. But she has a
messag e for her fellow Catholi cs
about AfDS. She uses her concerts as
an opportu nity to share her story.
As Christm as 1993 approac hes,
Jeanne is crisscrossing the country on
a concert tour promoting her newest
album of solo piano music, Many
Snows. The album include s
Christm as music and other traditional favorites.
"One thing I learned from Richard
is that birth and death are wrappe d
togethe r in one mystery ," says
Jeanne. "I'm hoping on this concert
tour to help people celebrat e the
whole of Christmas." By bringing
people together for music, by sharing
her story, she hopes she can help
people find the things they have in
commo n with each other.
"There are so many people who are
in so much pain," Jeanne laments.
"There are people hungry to be given
permission to cry, to hear, to have the
hope that the pain will subside." At
every weekend concert, people come
up to her. "They know someone who
is dying of AIDS and they don' t know
how to talk about it."
A typical exampl e is a Detroit
mother who told Jeanne about the
pain of accepting a lesbian daughter.
Jeanne says it was importa nt for that
mother to find someone within the
Church, like Jeanne, who would accept her and talk about it. The music
Jeanne creates sets the stage for that
kind of interaction.
'1 always wanted to be part of the
medica l profession," she reveals. She
tries to draw people into their inner
s pace, "where they can encount er
Cod or their inner voice." People a re
starved for that, she says. "Music can
open rusted doors. That's grace. l've
seen it happen."

She is aware that some people in
her audiences are not compassionate
about homosexuality and AIDS. "If
ever there was an example of the
modern-day leper, Like in the Cospel s, it' s a person with AIDS,"
counters Jeanne. "The Church has a
lot to learn," she insists, pointing her
index finger into the table for emphasis. "It's not much different than
the individual struggle of the parent
to accept the son," she says, referring
to her father and brother. "We need to
throw ourselves into the encounter."
Jeanne doesn't have a one-trac k
mind, though. Watching her in concert one sees a woman thrilled with
music, with love, with bringing cheer
and happiness to her audience. "l just
want to bring a little sweetness to

graduated from Steinmetz High
School and attended both Vassar
College and the University oflliinois. She won awards for her writing, and was former co-owner of
Tangible Type, with fellow gay activist Chris Cothran, in the mid1980s. Craig was also active in the
now-defunct Metropolitan Business Association, and former president of the National Association of
Business Councils (a gay/lesbian
group). Craig was also the spark
behind the founding of ACTION (A
Committee to Impel the Ordinance
Now), a key group in mid-1980s
pressure for passage of a gay.
rights ordinance in Chicago. Craig
was not someone who sought out
the limelight-mostly preferring to
stay behind the headlines. She
wrote for GAYLIFE in the late 1970s
and early 1980s. She, a long with
Cothran and Steve Jones, found ed
the Independent Voters of IllinoisIndependent Precinct Organizatio .

San Francisco observance is
traditionally the largest in
the U. S. An expected 10,000
people will gather at 8 p.m.
at the comer of Castro and
Market streets, then will
walk in a candlelight procession to City Hall. There, a
ceremony will be held from

gospel song called "Is There
Any Way." The Wise Fool
Puppet Intervention, a nonprofit theater arts project,
will use its giant puppets
and stilt characters to perform part of its outdoor theater piece "Touch/Prayer."
The Rev. Jim Mitulski will
lead the assembly in speaking aloud the names and
memories of those who have
died of AIDS. And MAA
Board President Ted Fang
will present "AIDS Hero and
Heroine" awards to several
of the many San Franciscans
who have made invaluable
contributions to the fight
against HIV and AIDS.
Candlelight observances
outside of San Francisco are
coordinated by local groups,
such as AIDS service organizations and churches, which
ll~
are supplied by MAA with
coordination kits. Observances range in character
from small gatherings in
houses of worship to huge
marches through city centers.
In some cases, participation in the International

demonstrate their support
for the cause. For the tenth
anniversary of the event in
1993, President and Mrs.

and Mobilization marks a
community's first acknowledgement that AIDS is a local issue, as well as a national and global issue. In addition to raising awareness, the
event offers a public demonstration of compassion and
solidarity to people whose
illness often makes them the
target of fear, hatred and discrimination.

were at his side.
Patrick was diagnosed with AIDS

who never liked to draw attention to
himself - qualities I loved about him

"Footprints"
Once there was a man who reflected back over his life.
And as his life was viewed before him, he noticed looking
back that there were two sets of footprints in the sand.
But he also noticed that during some of the most troublesome
and trying times in his life, he saw only one set of footprints.
So he asked, Lord you said that once I decided to follow you,
we would walk side by side through life.
But when I needed you most I saw only one set of footprints in the sand
The Lord replied, I love you and would never leave or forsake you.
During your times of trial and suffering when you needed me the most
and you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

in Cincinnati after a long struggle with AIDS. Two years ago
he accused the cardinal of having sexually abused him as a
teen-ager in the early 1970s, when Cardinal Bernardin was
archbishop of Cincinnati. The accusation in November 1993
made internationa l headlines. His complete, voluntary retraction of the claim four months later received equally
widespread media coverage. Last December, in a face-toface meeting in Philadelphi a that both described as deeply
movingandg race-filled,C ookandCard inal Bernardin were
reconciled and prayed together. Cook apologized to the
cardinal. lne cardinal told Cook he had forgiven him, and at
Cook's request he celebrated Mass for him. ?..S-

Kevin J. Calegari, 36, a former president of Dignity/USA, the nation's largest
group of gay, lesbian, and bisexual Roman Catholics, died in San Francisco of
AIDS-related complications on Feb. 12.
Calegari lived in San Francisco with Tom
Kaun, his partner of 11 years. 9 S
Calegari, who served as president of
Dignity from 1991 to 1993, was the subject of extensive press coverage in 1992
when he traveled to Rome and nailed a
Vatican document on homosexuality to
the door of the Vatican office that issued
the document. The event was widely covered in the mainstream press and in gay
publications in the United States, as well
as in the Italian press.
Under Calegari's leadership, Dignity
increased its level of interaction with
other major Catholic reform organizations in the United States and abroad.
During Calegari 's term ofoffice, Dignity
joined the Leadership Conference for
Catholic Laity, and became a founding
member of the Catholic Organizations
Daniel Howard Cohen, a journalist

sang in the San Francisco Boys Chorus,
and later served as a member of its board

the Dolores Street Community Services
Center in·San Francisco.
ln a recent issue of the " National Catholic Reporter, Calegari wrote, "My spirituaHty as a gay man, a Christian and a
person living with AIDS for the last seven
years has been marked by both conflict
and intimacy, filled with passion and
ambivalence, anger and inexpressible joy
and, above all, driven by a desire for
abundant life ... "
"It's a sad commentary on the state of
our Churct. when the courage and willingness to go to the floor on the issues that
count, to speak the truth when it hurts, is
cause for oppression and contempt (see
the [Vatican] Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's two recent documents
on homosexuality, 1986 and 1992). What
continues to amaze me is that God's powerful grace is so palpable precisely where
the hierarchy denies it can be. I call it ' the
sacrament of irony."'

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. {AP) - A
mother who searched desperately for
someone to adopt her son as she battled
AIDS died peacefully in the company
ofa friend who wants to fulfill her dying
wish.
Her son Duane giggled and played
with friends outside, as Debbie Cabil 's
struggle with the disease came to an end
May 26.
Cabil, 39, died surrounded by her
collection of angel knickknacks, in the
anns of her friend, Jan Hughes.
" I called Duane inside when it started
to rain," the local artist and gallery
owner said ofCabil's last evening. " But
the sun came back out after the stonn
and he went back outside. He was building a fort with some friends. We could
hear him laughing and playing.
" Later I told him, 'She heard you
playing outside and so happy, and I
think she felt really good about slipping
:r- .;i r
away."'
"For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
that then I scorn to change my state with kings..
"
Cabil's story was featured in a December 1993 Birmingham News article
about AIDS orphans and her desperate
search to find a family to adopt her son
when she died.
After the story appeared, a Georgia
businessman stepped forward to claim
responsibility for fathering Duane,10,
who does not have the disease.

.HONG KONG (AP)- A former disk

AIDS sufferer to publicize his disease
in a government campaign, has died,
newspapers reported July 15.
J.J. Chan, 35, had become familiar to
TV viewers in recent weeks, speaking
on camera about his illness in a campaign to dispel the myth that ALDS is a
foreigners' disease.
He contracted pneumonia and died
early July 12 in the hospital with his
family by his bed, the papers said.

The Eastern Express quoted Chan as
saying in an interview in May that he
contracted AIDS from ho mosexual sex
and that he feared being shunned by
conservative Hong Kong society.
" At first I only wanted to escape and
hide in the dark so that no one would
know I had AIDS. The suppression was
so great that I hoped I could kill myself," the Express quoted him as saying.
It was his famil y's " unimaginable
love and support" that encouraged him
to go public, he was quoted as ~aying.

Hughes said she sensed her friend 's
life was almost over the morning of
May 26 and before he went to school,
Duane sensed it, too.
"He put a pillow right next to her,
beside her in the bed," she said. " He laid
there and stroked her arm for the longest time."
A stable home with Hughes was a
dream come true for Cabil, who said
she was raised by an aunt in Germany,
worked as a dancer and waitress in
.. Birming~am, and r:noved from one low
rent apartment to another with Duane.
"Finally there was a home established
and there was a sweetness in her life,"
Hughes said. "She was born into this

told me many times, ' I have finally

On July 9, 1989, I took my first trip to Fire Island, N.Y.,
at age 20. I just wanted to see what it was all about. I met
Phil as I walked off the ferry; he was selling tickets to a
benefit. We had lunch and then dinner, and I fell head
over heels (stepping off the boat in pumps is not easy)!
We were together about a year and a half.
Phil was. my first love. When I graduated college, I
wanted my mdependence and ended the relationship. I
have-~ways felt a bit of regret for making that decision.
We continued to speak every six months or so. I loved
him,he taught me that living and loving as a gay man
be wonderful. He took me to my first opera, to the

1995 Scott F. Crofton. 39, died after a
long and heroic battle against AIDS. In
the end Scott was surro unded by famil y
and legions of friends, and when he
ultimately passed he wa,; alone with his
devoted partner and caregiver. William
J. 0 ' 13rien.
M ;. Crofton was born and raised in
Fall River. MA. He graduated from
Durfee High School and Bristol Community College. Scott moved to Boston
in 1981 and worked at a variety of jobs.
In 1983 he and his longtime friend Jackie
Dyas founded Scottscapes, an interior
and exterior landscape design and maintenance company. He successfully operated that business until June of 1995.
when he was forced to give up the business due to his illness.
A proud member of ACT UP/Boston,
Mr. Crofton participated in the production of two videos that were sent to
pharmaceutical companies pleading for
the early release of experimental. yet
promi,;ing drugs. One such effort was
succe, sful. The early releaseof566C80
(Mepron) to treat PCP was due in great
part to Scott and the many other commiued activists of ACT UP/Boston. Mr.
Crofton himselfparticipated in rwo clinical trials ofexperimental anti-HIV drugs.
as well as three parallel track protocols
(providing access to drugs before they
are officially and painstakingly approved by the F DA.) H is astute observation hat there really was no 'standard
of care in the treatment of HIV disease
in thee 1 1990s led to the creation of
rly
'The St 1ndard of Care Project" by ACT
U P/Bm ton. This project has since been
emulateJ by other activist groups arouhd
the country.
Generous to a fau lt, Scott's energy,
vi tality and acerbic wit will be sorely
missed by all.
Besides his partner of 10 plus years,
Bill O"Brien of Jamaica Plain, Scott
leaves his father. Frank L. Crofton of
Fall River; rwo brothers. Eric and his
wife Christine, Frank and his wife
Cheryl; three sisters. Donna Lynn Read
and her husband D ave. Colleen
Considine and her husband Gary, and
Cindy; plus fournephews and one niece.

mother, Dolores (Ponte) Crofton and a
brother, Paul. He also leaves scores of
friends in Boston including the Blazing
Salad Family. He wished to thank in
particular Pam Proulx of Beth Israel
Hospital and Nancy Reinhalter of Boston City Hospital.
Visiting hou rs were held at J .S.
Waterman and Sons on Saturday, July
29. 1995. A funeral mass was celebrated
at St. William's Church in Fall River.

(
Though you are not here
wherever I go
or whatever I do
I see your face in my mind
and I miss you so
I miss telling you everything
I miss showing you things
I miss your eyes
giving each other confidence
secretly
I miss your touch
I miss our excitement together
I miss everything we shared
I don't like missing you
It is a very cold and lonely feeling
I wish that I could be
with you right now
where the warmth of our love
would melt the winter snows
But since I can't be
with you right now
will have to be content

Hal Carter, a highly respected AIDS educator and
massage therapist, died Dec.
27 from complications due to
AIDS. '1'.J
He was 39 and lived in West
Philadelphia.
Carter worked as a certified massage therapist for 10
years and had an office in Center City until about a year
ago.
He began a massagetherapy program at We The
People and donated his massage services to many PWAs.
"Hal was a phenomenal
body worker," said his lover,
Kevin Greene. "He was known
nationally; we did massages
throughout the country. He
had a vast n umber of specialties within the discipline of
massage therapy. He had superb skills and good training;
his intuition was an asset."
Carter grew up in Paterson, N.J., and graduated from
Eastside High School there.
He attended Norfolk State
University in Virginia, and
worked as a psychiatric social
worker in Houston and Atlanta before moving to Philadelphia in 1988.
A few years ago, Greene
and Carter formed ajoint busi-
ness, Rootworks.
"Rootworks was ajoint venture by both of us to promote a
healthier community through
a variety of holistic approaches," Greene said. "We
focused on the lesbian and gay
communities."
Greene said Carter's main
legacy was one of accepting
others.
"He had a wide range of
friends and worked at accepting people just where they're
at," Greene said. "But it also
was important for him to hold
people responsible for their
own lives."
Carter worked for several
local AIDS agencies. He coordinated the Brother to Brother
program at BEBASHI, he coordinated youth programs at
Unity, and he directed member services at We The People.
Friends mourned Carter's
passing.
"He was clearly one of the
most respected black gay men
in the community," said David
Fair, director of We The
People.
"Hal was great," added Roy
Hayes, a case manager for the
William Craig Foundation.
"After you had a massage from
him, you always felt like a
new person. He gave of himself unsparingly, and imparted his own strength and
hope into the massage."
AIDS activist Arnold Jackson said he co-facilitated a
workshop, "Healing Is a Vision," with Carter.
"I have profound love, respect and admiration for Hal,"
Jackson said. "He turned HIVl
into something positive and
started me on my journey of
de-mystifying AIDS. He'll always be someone special."
Pam Ladds, directorofWisdom, said Carter would be
missed.
"This is an incredible loss,"
Ladds said. "Hal was central
to the lives of so many persons. There was a real energy
that came out of him, it was
extremely powerful."
Tyrone Smith ofUnity said
he never would forget Carter.
"Hal was beautiful, insid
and out," Smith said. "He was
also a tremendous dancer.
Once you interacted with him,
it transformed your life. We
were blessed to have him as
long as we did. We mourn his
death, but we must cling to his
contributions."
In addition to Greene,
Carter is survived by his parents, Audrey Hinton and Lloyd
Carter, sisters Tioasha and
Rhonda, brother Gary; and son
Stacey.
A memorial service will be
held at 2 p.m. Jan. 6 at Calvary United Methodist
Church, 48th and Baltimore
streets. T

A well-know n organizer in the

Gerry Crane
Teacher who challenged Mi.chigan school system
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. (AP) -
Gerry Crane, who was forced to resign as
a music teacher because he was gay, died
Jan. 3 from complications of a heart attack. He was 32.
Crane, who began teaching music at
Byron Center High School in 1993, quit
his job last July after months of unrelenting hostility from the conununity.
Byron Center, 15 miles south of Grand
Rapids, is typical of many western Michigan co_mmunities where conservative
Christians have significant influence.
Crane's family declined comment
through Saint Mary's Health Services,
the Grand Rapids hospital where he died
early Jan. 3.
"Mr. Crane's family and loved ones
request prayers, support and that their
privacy be respected at this time," spokeswoman Micki Benz said in a statement.
Benz said Crane suffered a heart attack
Dec. 27 and had been in intensive care all
week. She said funeral arrangements were
pending.
"We are stunned and saddened by this
sudden and unexpected tragedy," Byron
Center Education Association President
David Prindle said in a release. "He will
be missed."
A release put out by Byron Center
Public Schools said officials there were
saddened to hear of Crane's death.
"Despite the prior public controversy,
Mr. Crane's dedication to teaching and to
music was unwavering and unquestioned, "
the release said. "He will be missed by the
many friends he made while working in
the district"
The campaign against Crane inchided
the threat of dismissal after school board
members discovered he "married" his
same-sex partner and an explicit video
mailed to the parents of his students that
showed homosexual acts.
The anti-gay packages mailed last February included a letter signed by 38 people
associated with a group called Parents for.
Traditional Values.
Crane will be remembered by his supporters as an excellent teacher who revived a mediocre music program and produced the school's first musical.
Opponents, however, charged that his
sexual orientation set a poor example for:
teenagers.
Richard Gregory, pastor ofByron Center Bible Church, had said just as news of
Crane's homosexualit y was spreading
through the community in December 1995
that he "made a choice that imperils the
morals of our community. The issue is the
biblical authority that teaches that homosexuality is immoral."
A woman who answered the phone at
the church Jan. 3said Gregory would have
no comment on Crane's death.
Although the school board did not fire
Crane, it issued a statement that December, making its stance clear.
"Individuals whoespouseh omosexuality do not constitute proper role models as
teachers for students in this district," the
board said in pledging to keep him under
scrutiny.
Stung by the criticism, Crane nonetheless pledged to stick around. But by July,
he opted to take a severance package and
move on.
Crane received support from his students who gave him a standing ovation
during a holiday concert on Dec. 7, 1995.
"We want him to know we are 100
percent behind him," senior Joe Pennington
said at the time. T

�BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP)
ermont's politically powerful joined
with the humble and disadvantaged to
relebrate a life dedicated to humility and
generosity.
·
In paying their final respects Aug. 11
to David Curti$, governors and U.S . senators, criminals and crime victims painted
a picrure of a man who left a legacy of
bettering the lives of all those around
him.
"It is not a past that is lost," Sen.
Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said , stopping
irudsentence to choke back his emotion
for a boyhood friend...It was a past of
accomplishment. It was a past of hope
for others, of giving. It was a past of
treat talent, legal talent, of legacy to his
state, his family."
Curtis, chairman ot
the state Democratic
Party and a former state
defender general, died
Saturday of heart failurecomplicated by lung
cancer and AIDS. H
was 61.
Curtis was remembered less for the positions he he ld than for
the causes he championed and the people he
!leryed . He also was
honored for his own remarkable personal journey, from conservative
lawyer with a wife and
three children to liberal
Democrat, who as a gay
man forthrightly and
publicly dealt with his
AIDS. yet remained
dedicated to his chil-
drea.
'David Curtis left us
wi~ a
legacy of
thoughtfulness. ofcompassion, of love and
COQUnitment," former
OoY. Philip Hoff said.
..How could we ask for
anything mo re than
that?''

posing attorney and bis

agreed with the results," Jeffords said,
smiling broadly at his
welcome defeat 30
years ago.
Eventually, Curtis
divorced and moved in
1978 to· Tennessee,
where he came out as a
g ay man. He also
Although his constituency early in his
career was the world of business, Curtis
eventually came to represent the people
largely forgotten by society: those accused of a crime, women trying to develop a political voice, gays and lesbians, people with AIDS.
"David was a model of living life
generouslyandfullyrightuptotheend,"
said close friend Rep. William Lippert,
D-Hinesburg. "He accepted collectcalls
in the middle of the night from convicted
murderers who just wanted to talk. ... He
would laugh and say, 'He's a really nice
guy, actually."'
Curtis was born in Montpelier, educated at the University of Vermont and
Boston College Law School arid landed
his first law clerk's job alongside another aspiring young attorney who would
one day become attorney general and
then U.S. senator.
·
"At that time we were both Republicans and looked forward to being allied
friends," Sen. James Jeffords said.
Curtis retained his dedication to the
Republican Party for many years, serving in the Vermont House as a Republican from Charlotte. As a young lawyer working in the same Burlington
firm as Leahy and then-Gov. Hoff, a
Democrat, he was unabashedly conservative.
,
"He was this avid, off-the-wall, nghtwing supporter of Goldwater," Hoff
said, drawing laughter. "As unlikely a
beginning as it was, over time David
and I became the best of friends."
And that was even though Curtis
slapped a ''Goldwater for president" 1
bumper sticker on Hoff's car above the
,gubernatorial license plate No. 1.
As time went on, Curtis' politics began to shift as he underwent a personal I
journey. In 1969, he
took on a client cballengi ng Vermont's
statutes outlawing
abortion, suing thenChittenden County
State' s
Attorney
Patrick Leahy and Attorney General James
Jeffords. Curtis beat
them both, legalizing
abortion in VennonL
"David's victory was
somewhat diminished
by the fact that the op-

work of attorneys representingpoorpeopleaccusedofcrimes.
. By that time he was a committed
liberal Democrat, but it never sto~
him from taking on governors of bis
adopted party to make sure those ac' cused of crimes had a good lawyer.
He went on to head the American
Civil Liberties Union chapter in Ver.:.
~nt and became an advocate for those
with AIDS, disclosing that he had the
disease himself in congressional testimony.
The pews in the Unitarian Church in
Burlington were filled Aug. 11 --with
many of the people Curtis served and
befriended, illustrating his life: governors, senators, lawmakers, three sitting
Vermont Supreme Court justices, prosecutors, gays and lesbians, lawyers and
advocates for criminals.
The diversity of the crowd itself was
a fitting tribute, Leahy said.
."Only David could fill this church
with such a spectacle of people all
walks oflife." Y

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

segments of Bcllechasse' s work became decidedly uotic. The erotic
works were carefuUy hidden from
public view becmJ8e .Jf the-harsh censure of such work in Cuba.
. It was betiore the end o f 1~ that
the dictatorial power of the Cuban
state shattered SPACE. Arrests were
going on everywhere. Police came to
Bel1echasse' s home, arrested him, and
imprisoned him on the basis of his
political activities . They eventually
found the erotic paintings and destroyed them, adding yet another item

to therr Ii st o f cbarges agamst him .
After several months in prison he
was released in 1969, but was soon in
contact with other political and art
dissidents once again. With terrible
inevitability, he was re-arrested at the
age of twenty-seven and this time was
condemned to six years in prison
( 1971-1977) because of his political
convictions and activities. During
those grim years he was unable to
paint, but he made countless drawings
on every scrap of paper that he could
obtain and made plans for future
works. When he was finally released
from prison, he started to paint again.
Those paintings seemed to his associates deeper and more dramatic than
anything he had yet done. But he lived
in the half light of political fear.
In 1979, as the result of a temporary
lessening of harassment of former
evaytbing behind. He med in Madrid
for a few months before moving to
New York and eventually to Florida.

LOS ANGELES - Chris Brownlie, a
leading advocate on behalf of people with
AIDS, succumbed to the disease himself
Nov. 28, after a 2 \/2 year battle.
Brownlie was a singular personality in the
volatile worlds of county politics and AIDS
advocacy in Los Angeles. He was a controversial figure. He was often disagreed with,
but never personally discredited by the sets
of contending forces that he sought to enlist
in the service of his dream: quality care for
people in need . Phill Wilson, the lover with
whom Brownlie was to have celebrated ten
years of commitment Dec. 19, 1989, remembers, "Chris insisted on working with everyone, and insisted on everyone working together."
Brownlie, along with Wilson and Michael
Weinstein, was a founder and board member of the AIDS Hospice Foundation; an

Brownlie, whose lifemate was
American, was also an ardent interracialist.
Prior to his AIDS activism, he focused on a
number of projects promoting the interests
of people of color. In 1983, he and Wilson

Michael Ballard, a dancer with the
companies of Murray Louis and Alwin
Nikolais in the 1970's and early 1980's,
died on Sunday at Barnes Hospital in
St. Louis. He was 49 years old.
He died of AIDS, said Norman Ader,
his companion of 25 years.
Mr. Ballard was born in Denver. His
full name was Michael Ballard Podolsky, but he eventually dropped the
surname. He took his first dance class
as a freshman at the University of
Colorado in 1960. After enrolling in
summer workshops taught by Merce
Cunningham, Shirley Ririe and Joan
Woodbury, Mr. Ballard decided to major in dance at the University of Utah,
where he came into contact with the
teaching of Alwin Nikolais. ·
He left for New York City in 1966 to
study and perform with Mr. Nikolais,
whose company members also danced
with Mr. Louis. Among his best-known
parts were the ringmaster in "Hoopla"
and the title role in "Scheherazad e,"
both by Mr. Louis.
Moved to SL Louis
Mr. Ballard retired from the company in 1983, moving to St. Louis the next
year to teach modem dance technique
and choreography as an assistant professor at Washington University. He
danced and choreographed there for
the Washington University Dance
Theater, the St. Louis Repertory Dancers and the St. Louis Dancers, for
whom he staged Mr. Louis's "Bach
Suite" and excerpts from other pieces.
He served on the dance advisory
panel of the Missouri Council of the
Arts from l!lii tab.is death. He was the
author, with K.ltty CUnmngham, of

Mr. Bradley, who was born in Brooklyn and had taught fifth grade at
Bayport-Blue Point since 1971, became
seriously ill in the spring of 1990. He
had never disclosed his private life to
his students or to other faculty members; he told them he had lymphoma
cancer. When he had lost 45 pounds,
doctors at the Johns Hopkins Oncology
Center urged him to try a type of bonemarrow transplant usually reserved
r cancer patients.

1990.
When the story broke. students, the
faculty and most of the town of Bayport
rallied around him. Children took to the
streets and gathered more than 1,000
signatures calling for Blue Cross to pay
for the operation. Adults held raffles, a
bake sale and a dinner, and raised
$15.000 for Mr. Bradleys' legal fees.
In August 1990, Justice Elliott Wilk of
State Supreme Court in Manhattan
that Blue Cross must pay for the
edure. But by then it was too late.
'
. Bradley had developed an eye inf feetion that made the transplant im~

�obert Bishop, a Folk-Art Expert
And Mu,eum Director, Dies at 53
By RITA REIF
Robert Bishop, a Broadway dancer
who became an author, an educator
and the director of the Museum of
Ar(lerican Folk Art in Manhattan, died
yesterday at St. Vincent's Hospital in
Manhattan. He was 53 years old and
lived in Manhattan.
He died of AIDS-related lymphoma,
said his companion, Henry Niemann.
In 1977, two months after Mr. Bishop
became the director of the folk-art
museum - then one of New York's
smaller institutions, leasing a floor and
a half in a brownstone at 49 West 53d
Street - he outlined his plans for its
growth. Persuaded that small museums must grow or die, he sought to
expand in several directions at once. "I
came back to New York to rebuild the
museum collection, to take the museum to a new location, and to establish it
as a serious research and educational
facility," he said.
Many folk-art collectors, scholars
and dealers rallied to help Mr. Bishop
enlarge the museum and its programs.
Others, however, criticized his efforts
and the exhibitions he organized,

A memorial service to celebrate Jefrs

Chris Blazakis, a fashion executive
who prompted investigations of Nancy
Reagan by contending that she improperly kept $2 m.illion in free designer
clothes, furs and jewelry,.died on Tuesday at his home in Manhattan. He was
39.
His death was a result of AIDS, said
David Fameth, his companion for 21
years.
Mr. Blazakis operated a consulting
and marketing concern whose clients
included Galanos, Ann Lawrence, Bascardi Furs, SoHo Tee Shop, Lenore
~!:~/h! !a~:~:!e~~~i~ i!f~ :~:;~
ident of Galanos Originals, a fashion
house favored by Mrs. Reagan.
In 1987 he began a campaign to urge
officials and journalists to investigate
Mrs. Reagan for not declaring her free
fashions as gifts or income, contrary to
the White House counsel's advice. .
Mrs. Reagan continued the practice
even after promising to stop. But she
denied wrongdoing, saying she had
only borrowed the items for official
functions and to help publicize the designers. She gave some of the items to
museums as charitable donations.
Born in Sewickley, Pa., Mr. Blazakis
grew up in Baltimore, Md., and Ambridge, Pa. His given name was Milton.
Besides Mr. Farneth, his survivors
include his mother, Katherine Knox,
and a sister, Clara Zugliani, both of i
Conway, Pa., and three brothers, Andrew, of Boardman, Ohio, Nicholas, of

according to his par111er, Eric Bentgn.
. Bolgiano's struggle to receive health
care benefits as a person who was HIV·

of health care refonn. After he was
denied Social ·security disability benefits
in 1988 Bolgiano received the support of
Rep. Constance Mor~llo (R-Md.-) in
working to make it easier for applicants
who are HIV -positive to receive benefits.
Benton also spoke about AIDS to Montgomery College students, and testified
before the Maryland General Assembly
about legislation that would discipline

by Aras van Hertum
Frank Broderick, the editor of the
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Gay weekly
Au Courant, died on Monday, February
8, at Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia.
He was 38 years old.
According to Michael Labance, Au
Courant' s publisher, Broderick died of
complications associated with AIDS.
Broderick was born in Darby, Pa., and,
after graduating from Penn State
University in 1976 with a bachelor's
degree in journalism, joined the Philadelphia Gay News as an associate editor.
In 1982, Broderick and two other Gay
News employees, Labance and Joe Youkanavitch, left the newspaper to found Au
Courant. For 10 years, he served as editor
of the paper, and also wrote its popular
gossip column, "Tidbits."
"Frank adhered to the notion that a
newspaper should report on the news,

longtime companion, David Strickland of
Falls Church.
Boyle was the subject of a series of
columns by Washington Post writer Bob
Levy chronicling the life of a Washingtonian living with AIDS.
"Michael often wondered if it would
make a difference," said Strickland.
"Hopefully, he knows it did. Hopefully,
he knows that his 30 short years made a
difference in a lot of lives. He laughed
often. He loved much, and his spirit never
diminished. In his final journey, it was
God and David who watched over him
and kept him comfortable and safe."
Boyle was born in Aileen, S.C. He
attended the University of South Carolina
at Aiken, and was a sportswriter for The
Aiken Standard in the early 1980s. He
also served as sports information director
at the university.
Between l980 and 1989, Boyle worked
with U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.)
educating thousands of adolescents abou
the realities of living with AIDS."
Boyle also fought for equal rights ti
people living with HIV/AIDS. According
to Strickland, he rallied support fot

of the world 's larges t law firm, a friend
said, "gave lilm a sense of belonging, a

Mr. Bowers's comp laint with the New

But only his surviv ors could take comfon in the award. Mr. Bowers died in Septembe r 1987 at age 33, not long after testifying in the ca~e. which took seven .years
to decide.
Cases like Mr. Bowe rs's are still common today, gay-ri ghts lawye rs say, even

laws banning discri mination based on

�Walta Borawski, 46, died Feb. 9 at his
ome in Cambridge of complications from
S. Borawski, a poet, critic and activist
as widely noted for his writing and theatcal
" poetry readings including several at
ton's ini~ial First Night celebrations.
His books include, "Sexually Dangerous
oet" and the recently published "Lingering
n a Silk Shirt." His work also appears in
any anthologies including "a True Likeess," "Gay and Lesbian Poetry in Our
imes," "Son of the Male Muse" and "Poets
or Life . " For almo st two deca des
rawski 's poetry appeared in numerous
ay and lesbian newspapers and magazines
· eluding Fag Rag, Mouth of the Dragon,
RFD, Amethyst, Christopher Street, Gir!
ock, PWA Coalition Newsline, Bay Windows, Radical America and The James White
Review. He was particularly pleased that he
was the only poet ever to be published in
Boyd McDonald's true-life sex journal,
"Straight to Hell." Beside his poetry,
Borawski also published essays, reviews
and criticism in Gay Community News, Z,
and The Boston Phoenix. Since the mid'70s Borawski read and performed his work
at poetry readings, conferences, college campuses, and political rallies. He also spoke
about the state of gay male literature, as welJ
as performing his own work at several
OutWrite and Lesbian and Gay Studies conferences.
Borawski's extensive record collection
testified to his love of opera, female jazz
singers and vocalists - all of whom informed both his work and his performing.
On stage Borawski 's style was both tightly
lyrical and emotionalJy charged - the perfect expression of his work which was precise, sharply detailed ando{ten openly sexual.
The emotional truth of his work was informed by his working class background,

Ken made his peaceful transition August

mother, Mary Nell, his sister, Jane & his "Festive Sister/housemate," Ralph were at his side.
Ken moved to Atlanta six years ago from
Gatlinberg, bringing his East Tennessee
cloggin', singin' and dry humor with him. Ken
worked at Macy's fine jewels caring dearly
for customer & company alike. He served on
the Heart to Heart AIDS housing committee
and was active in the Atlanta Church of Religious Science.
We have lost one of the sweetest, most
considerate, caregivers. He could see through

��Claude 'Marc' Belair
Claude "Marc" Belair, owner and innkeeper of The Captain 's House in
Provincetown, died April 9 in Montreal
from complications caused by AIDS. He
was 59.
Marc was born and raised and Montreal
where he was educated by the Jesuit Fathers at the colJege Jean de Brebeuf. Four
years of medical school followed at the
University of Montreal. Deciding against
a career in medicine, Marc worked for a
time for a pharmaceutical company before settling into a career as an accomplished linguist.
During the 1960's and 1970's Marc
was a frequent visitor to Provincetown.
KurtT.
Finally, in 1978, his love for the town and
the gay community lured him away from
Quebec. Tens of thousands of gay men and
lesbians have enjoyed his warmth and hospitality as guests of the Captain's House
since that time.
Marc is survived by two brothers, a
sister, several nieces and nephews, all of
Montreal, and a multitude ofloving friends.
A memorial service to celebrate Marc's
Life will be held Saturday, May 14, at 3
p.m. at the Universalist Meeting House in
Provincetown. A reception at the Captain's
House will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Provincetown

Richard C. Booton
Richard C. Booton ill, artist, died on
May 9 at his mother's home in Maynard,
Massachusetts,after a long struggle with
AIDS.
Richard, whose home was in
ovincetown, practiced an uncompromis·ng aesthetic of beauty-at once remarkble, irreverent and refined - which exended to his ceramic and sculptural works
well as his outstanding pear tarts, his
lip gardens and his way with soft-shelled
rabs.
He was born on June 21, 1954, at the
ston Lying-In Hospital. His childhood
as spent in Southern California; he had
is first d~te at the age of eight and went on
o become an accomplished surfer, skier,
d track athlete. At school - first parohial, then public - Richard excelled in
athematics, science and French.
After four years in the architecture proam at the University of California at
rkeley, Richard returned east and moved
Manhattan.
In New York, he began experimenting
ith sculptural forms cast in concrete,
any of which were directly imprinted
om architectural fragments found at
molition sites. These lead to a series of
versized wall and floor pieces, which he
eated by draping layers of plaster-soaked
bric on three-dimensional frames. The
owed surfaces were finished with dyes
d powdered pigments, resulting in the
ep patina and jewel-like tones that bee halJmarks of Richard's works.
In 1985 Richard left New York, dividg his time between Provincetown and

�Joe Brainard, Artist,
Theater Set Designer
And Poet, Dies at 52
By ROBERTA SMITH
Joe Brainard, an artist, writer, set
designer and frequent collaborator
with the New York School poets, died
on Wednesday at New York University Medical Center in Manhattan. He
was 52 and lived in SoHo.
The cause was AIDS, said his
brother John, of Greenwich, Conn.
In a career of over 30 years, Mr.
Brainard brought wit, a light touch
and an intimate scale to collage,
painting, watercolor and assemblage,
once exhibiting 2,500 tiny pieces in a
single exhibition. His theater work
included set designs for "The Toilet"
by LeRoi Jones and "The General
Returns from One Place to Another"
by Frank O'Hara, and the front curtain for the Joffrey Ballet's 1980 production of Erik Salle's "Postcards."
Brought Up In Tulsa
Mr. Brainard was born in Salem,
Ark., in 1942, and grew up in Tulsa,
Okla. He moved to New York City
when he was 19. Through the poets
Ron Padgett and Dick Gallup, high
school friends from Tulsa, he got to
know many of the New York School
poets. Ke subsequently illustrated
more than a dozen books of poetry,
including "Bean Sprouts" (1967) by
, Ted Berrigan and Mr. Padgett, "The
Champ" (1968) by Kenward Elmslie
and "Self-Portrait" (1972) by Ann
· Waldman. His most frequent collaborator was Mr. Elmslie, with whom he
' spent summers in Calais, Vt.
, In his own writing, Mr. Brainard,
· the author of more than 18 books,
h j worked in a declarative orosP.-noem
•
mode. Best known are his "I remem
ber" books, in which every sentence
began with those words: for example,
"I remember the chocolate Easter
Bunny problem of where to start."
After the poet Kenneth Koch described these works in a book about
teaching writing to children, the
method was frequently used by
schoolteachers.
Mr. Brainard exhibited at the
Fischbach Gallery in 1971, '72, '74 and
'75 and · is represented in the collections of the Museum of Modem Art
and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
In addition to his brother, Mr.
Brainard is survived by his parents,
Howard and Marie, of Tulsa; another
brother, Jim, of St. Louis, and a sister,
Becky Kuenz of Boulder, Colo.

Missing you
and loving you
throughout
the past year.
Robert Baldwin passed to another world on Friday, May 6, 1994, at 9:25 a.m.
We hold hands between two worlds. Robert was born in Sacramento, Calif., on
October 30, 1946, to the late Marie Frances Baldwin
and Edward "Baldie" Baldwin Sr. Robert leaves in this
world his sisters, Karen Lee Benoit and Roberta
Georgene Grunwald; brothers Byron Lee Baldwin,
James Carter Baldwin and Edward Alexander
1 Baldwin Jr. Robert also leaves his nephews Gregory
Grunwald, Geoffrey Grunwald and Shawn James
Baldwin. AU were born and reside in Sacramento.
Robert was known as "Kee-Kee," a name given to him
when he was a baby by his grandmother on his father's
side. Grandparents on his father's side are the late
Emma Alish Baldwin and Alexander Stephen . ._ _ _ _ __ _..
Baldwin Sr. Grandparents on his mother's side are the late Marie Margaret Carter
and Charles Harry Carter. In addition, the late Robert Verdina was his uncle.
Robert grew up in Sacramento and went through the local schools, but he
wanted to be in the Navy like his dad. He joined the
Navy in 1965 and was on active duty aboard a Navy
qestroyer in the Pacific. After his stay in the Navy,
Robert moved to New Orleans, La., but his love of the
Pacific Coast won over him and he moved to San Francisco about seven years ago. Robert's love of people
and his kind heart proved to be his assets as he helped
those who needed the help the most - the homeless
and the poor. Robert's sense of humor was outrageous
and he could make you laugh until it hurt. Longtime
companions are Marshall Aiken of New Orleans and.
Richard Peeples of San Francisco. In additiod, are
longtime companions Susie and Rambo, his Siamese felines.
He is my loving brother; and until L too, pass over, we hold hands between two
worlds.

happy, and being a little mischievous.
(Miriam showed me photos ofPhillip with
many of the people who were close to

At the beginning of his illness, he started
to paint with watercolors. As a legacy to
his friends and family he painted many

were exhibited at the Boston Center for
the Arts. He composed a poem called
"The Butterfly that Conquered AIDS."

1943-1994
Composer and artist Charles S.
Buel has passed out of the lives of his
friends, family,
and colleagues.
Supported by
his family in his
early education,
Charles developed a strong
iotelligeoce and
individuality, and
read much history. He was often
fiercely outspoken, but equally
often sympathetic. Energetic and generous, he was a
talented artist in drawing and collage
as well as a composer with a unique,
personal style that went from funky
keyboard to a beautiful lyric sax solo.
He often wrote his lyrics. He did
occasional carpentry.
For five years Charles was a
member of the
Independent
Composers Association of LA. He
later moved here and became a valued president of the Society of ~ay
and Lesbian Composers, perfornung
his music in every concert since
1991, transporting his huge amount
of equipment by truck.
Charles set track team records at
Hillsdale High School. He is survived
by his mother, Hilda, and two sisters,
Paula and Jane Buel Stewart. At his
request, no services w\11 ~ held. The
family suggests contnbuttons to the

was so brave and

was
peaceful and accepted. He goes
with so much

from his "family"

Brian was a longtime employee at
UC Medical Center until his failing
health forced him to stop. He spent
the last year in peaceful retreat,
bravely and nobly accepting what
was to come.
Brian touched so many lives with
his sparkling personality and good
looks that he will be greatly missed.
We who have been left behind all feel
diminished by this loss. I'm happy
for him that in the midst of sadness,
he could finally "go home" again,
where I'm sure they've prepared a

��John E. Boswell, 4 7, Historian
OfMedieval Gay Culture, Dies
By DA.YID W. DUNLAP
John Eastburn Boswell, a Yale
University historian who upended
medieval scholarship by finding not
only that homosexuality was tolerated In the Middle Ages but that samesex unions were celebrated liturgically, died ye~terday In the Yale
Infirmary. He was 47 and lived In
New Haven.
The cause was complications from
AIDS, a friend, Jerry Hart, said.
"I regard him as one of the major
innovative figures In gay and lesbian
scholarship," said Martin Duberman, founder and executive director
of the Center for Lesbian and Gay
Sludies at the City University of New
York. "John was very brave and
pioneering. And very brilliant."
He was also controversial. Some
scholars and theologians disputed
his findings, which gained wide notice In 1980 with the publication of
" Ch ristianity, Social Tolerance, and
Homosexuality: Gay People In Western Europe From the Beginning of
the Christian Era to the Fourteenth
Century" (University of Chicago

"I would not hesitate to call his
book revolutionary," Paul Robinson,
a Stanford University historian,
wrote In The New York Times Book
Review, "for It tells of things heretofore unimagined and sets a standard
of excellence that one would have
thought Impossible In the treatment
of an issue so large, uncharted and
vexed." It won the American Book
Award for history In 1981.
One major aim of his work, Dr.
Boswell wrote, was "to rebut the
common Idea that religious belief Christian or other - has been the
cause of Intolerance In regard to gay
people."
Among his findings was that there
had been, from about 1050 to 1150,
"an efflorescence of gay subculture,
with a highly developed literature,
its own argot and artistic conventions, Its own low life. its elaborate
responses to critics."
Last June, Dr. Boswell again captured attention - and provoked
much debate - with "Same-Sex
Unions in Premodem Europe" (Villard Books), based on the study of
more than 60 manuscripts from the
8th to the 16th century.
By the 12th century, Dr. Boswell
wrote, the ceremony of same-sex
union had become a "full office"
which Involved burning candles,
lacing the parties' hands on the
ospel, binding their hands or cove~ing their heads with the priest s
stole, saying the Lord's Prayer, receiving communion, kissing and
sometimes circling the altar.
As to whether the ceremony celebrated a "relationship between two
men or two women that was (or
became) sexual,'' Dr. Boswell wrote,
"Probably, sometimes. but this Is
obviously a difficult question to answer about the past, since participants cannot be Interrogated."
He was far more confident in declaring that the ceremony was "unmistakably a voluntary, emotional
union of two persons," one that was
"closely related" to heterosexual
marriage, "no matter how milch

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A
minister who questioned whether
a man with AIDS had gone to
heaven - a question he asked
while delivering the man's eulogy
- prompted 25 mourners to leave
the service.
The Rev. John Hopkins, who
presided at the funeral of a man
identified only as Bob by The (Columbia) State, told mourners: "I'm
not sure where Bob is right now."
Mourners described the eulogy
as a half-hour diatribe against the
43-year-old man's homosexuality. The man died Dec. 26.
Hopkins said Bob had "gone
astray" into a "gay lifestyle" during coJlege, the newsp aper reported. And while Hopkins said
he wasn't necessarily superior to
Bob morally, homosexuality was
a mortal sin accord ing to his
church 's t~achings.
"To say it was in poor taste is to
put it mildly ," said Harrie t
Hancock, a Colum bia attorney
who attended the service. "It was
simply unforgivable. It was the
At a memorial service for a gay man with AIDS, the griefstricken storm out after clergyman condemns the deceased
most upsetting thing I've ever witnessed."
In addition to a front-page article about the incident, the newspaper also expressed its outrage
over the incident in an editorial
(see article, this page). The newspaper honored the family's request
to withhold Bob's last name.
Hopkins refused to comment to
the newspaper and did not immediately return a call to his home.
The church released a statement
Dec. 28 from its pastors expressing sympathy for the family but
acknowledging the church 's disagreement with him about homosexuality.
And in another statement, released Jan. 2, the church said Bob's
family and friend would best be
served "by calmly praying for them
in this, their time of need."

John Hull remembers the moment when he decided he wanted
to be a competitive ice skater. As
a teenager growing up in Rockland
County, a suburb outside New
York City, he was watching the
Olympic Games in 1980 and recalled the feeling of devastation
when American figure skating favorites Randy Gardner and Tai
Babalonia had their medal hopes
dashed when Gardner fell during
the competition.
Fueled by the inspiration of the
Olympics, Hull worked on and
perfected his skating skills
throughout high school. But by
the time he was enrolled at Boston
College in 1984, the time-con umingchoreofbalancinghisdemanding course load with skating f ractices became too much. A noioriously expensive sport to enj age

Harold Brodk ey
I - ,:;) 6 - 91;;"
By Richard Pyle
The Associated Press
NEW YORK ......_ Harold
Brodkey, a writer who described his struggle with AIDS
inanessayinTheNe wYorker,
has died of the disease.
Brod.key, 65, died at his
home in Manhattan, said
magazine spokeswoman
Maurie Perl.
"I have AIDS. I am surprised
that I do..." began his essay,
"To My Readers," in the June
21, 1993, edition.
In that and later essays,
Brodkey wrote at length about
his illness, the homosexual
experiences in the 1960s and
19766 that he thought were
responsible for it, and other
·personal topics.
Perl said Brodkey's final essay, titled "This Wild Darkness," and concerning"his last
thoughts on nearing death,"
would appear in the Feb. 5
issue of The New Yorker.
Brodkey first gained acclaim
through a collection of stories
about his early life, "First Love
and Other Sorrows," published
in 1958, six years after he
graduated from Harvard.
Brodkey then began "The
Runaway Soul," a work that
would preoccupy him for some
30 years before it was published in 1991. That year, he
told an interviewer how the
effort had all but insulat.ed
him from the world:
"From the time I was 28 until
I was 58, silence. New York
City had seven newspapers
when I started. Hemingway
was alive. Faulkner was alive.
Pearl Buck was still kicking
around. I get some letters and
I don't recognize the world the
letters are coming from."
Originally to be titled "Party
of Animals," "The Runaway
Soul" was so long in the writingthat some critics wondered
testily if it ever would appear.
When finally published, the
deeply introspective, streamof-consciousness novel ran 834
pages and was well-received.
Other prose works included
"Women and Angels," 1985,
"Stories in an Almost Classical Mode," 1988; and "Profane
Friendship," 1994.
"He was a fearless explorer
of the human heart and the
inventor of a rapturous prose
like no other," said author
John Updike.
Brod.key's poetry, published
in The New Yorker and other
publications, was compared to
Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo
Emerson and William
Wordsworth.
Born Aaron Roy Weintraub
in Staunton, Ill., a son of Russian Jewish immigrants,
Brodkey weathered a grim
childhood that included the
death of his mother before he
was 2, an alcoholic father and
adoption by stepparents who
also soon died.
Brod.key is survived by his
wife, Ellen Schwamm, and a
daughter, Ann Emily, by a
previous marriage. Perl said
the family advised that in ac- '
cord with Brodkey's wishes
there would be no service. T

�In the stillness of the night on Sunday,
January 14, 1996, Barry Clifton Bruce departed this earthly life. As he walked
through life, Barry's love of his family and
friends was evidenced through his willingness

We love you and thank God for the privilege of knowing you and the time we shared.
Our visit here is but a pause
Along the path of Glory;
Our lives may seem unfinished
An interrupted story.
Of our loved ones we may wonder
Just why they could not stay
And visit here-among us,
One more hour, one more day.
But the journey must continue
And so, along life's path we go,
To somewhere far more glorious
Than any place we know.
We're only here to visit,
To pause and do our best,
But we'll meet again in Glory,
Where the lord will give us rest.

�ROBERT BLANCHON
1965- 1999
T IS ONE of the last days of this
warm summer-inside-fall, the light
blazing through thousands of dry,
brittle leaves. My friend Robert Blanchon,
an artist and teacher, died of AIDS on
October 4. He would have been 34 in
December. I find myself beginning countless conversations with him-a nd then I remem
ber that not
even Robert 's dust remains.
Robert was born and raised in Boston. After earning
his MFA
in 1990 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicag
o, Robert
went to New York City, where he worked in the comm
unications
department at the New Museum of Contemporary
Art. In 1995,
he moved to Los Angeles and taught at the Univer
sity of
California at Irvine and at Cal Arts; he was an extrem
ely popular, !
challenging and dynamic professor.
A conceptual artist, Robert employed many media,
primarily
photography. His work plumbed various tropes of gay
life in the
'90s-endless stacks of sympathy cards, stains and waste,
tattoos,
textual and iconographic references to plagues past
and present.
He used self-portraiture to skewer art-world preten
sions (which
he shamelessly shared) and dismantle received ideas
about human
personality, as well as to flaunt his own beauty.
"Untitled (Protection)" (1992) was a letter from Robert
to his
parents revealing his HIV status com_
bined with his mother's rambling, evangelical reply. For one of his more recent works,
"Wave
(0-10)" (1997), he stood
waist-deep in the ocean,
photographing oncoming
waves in a futile search for
perfection, trying to capture two images that were
exactly the same. A member of ACT UP, he created a sticker in 1990 bearing
a portrait of
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley inscribed with the
text "I will
not get AIDS "-the phrase used in one of the city's
abandoned
awareness campaigns. His videotape Let's just kiss +
say goodbye
(1995) was screened at national and international
festivals. He
was a prolific writer and edited "A Wretch Like Me"
in 1995 for
the Chicago-based journal Whitewalls.
Robert had seven solo shows in his last five years
and was
included in nearly 40 group shows since 1989. His recent
recognition by the art world was bittersweet, given his
deteriorating
health. He returned to Chicago in 1998 to teach at his
alma mater.
The loss in February 1999 of his dear friend, perform
ance artist
Larry Steger, was a heavy one.
While packing up Robert's apartment after he died, we
discovered a piece, "Cyclops," made a year earlier, which
now seems
strangely predictive: a set of eyeg lasses whose lenses
had been
fused into one. Last summer, Robert lost all vision in
his right eye.
Although he never let go of the possibility of living,
he despaired
that he would never ride his bicycle again. And yet,
in spite of his
suffering, Robert never lost his sense of humor or his
interest in
I the world outside. -Mary Patten
IT
His recent recognition

Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books
Description
An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>

Linwood Anderson
The American Foundation for AIDS Research
has adopted the song "The Day After That" from
"Kiss of the Spider Woman" as an official anthem.
Sung by Anthony Crivello durin_g the musical, the
song is about political revolution. But Liza Mlnnelli, wh~n she saw the show, thought that the song
was "about a lot more than revolution." "It's about
hope, about fighting despair," she said. With the
approval of the foundation and the song's aulhors,
John Kander and Fred Ebb, she is recording "The
Day After That" for a video to be introduced on
Dec. l, World AIDS Day. The lyrics i~clude Otese:
Florida resident formerly of BostLJ1,,
Linwood Anderson, 32 years-old,
formerly of Boston, died in his sleep the
morning of February 4, 1990, at his home
in Coral Gables, Florida. Linnie had
wrestled with a multitude of AIDS-related
.illnesses for several years.
During his Boston residence in the
early 1980's, Linnie attended Harvard and
Northeastern. He knew the Latin names of
'hundreds of trees and flowers, adored
classical music, and loved travel and
adventure. In the summer of 1988, Linnie
sojourned at the house in Beachmont
where had enjoyed so many parties in days
gone by. His private illness became
apparent only when he was faced with
seeking pentamidine treatment
Despite his own ailments, Linnie
helped care for his friend Robert's
grandmother, of whom he was very fond.
His scintillating personality, effusive
charm, pungent wit, and unerring civility
are well-remembered by his friends. He
was thoughtful and brave, and he retained
his exuberance as long as he possibly
could.
As a columnist in Miami, Linnie
frequently covered society events and the
South Beach arts scene. He also reported
on the 1987 March on Washington and the
inaugural display of the Quilt
Linwood is survived by his mother,
two brothers, and two sisters, all of Coral
Gables; his cousin Juliann of Don:bester;
Fighting apathy
about AIDS
, In this hour of raised aware·
ness about AIDS, I wish to offer
the gay community my most sin·
cere thanks for trying to educate
us, raise money for AIDS re•
search, and lobby in Congress to
make AIDS an Issue of national
importance.
Thanks for taking care of our
sick and dying regardless of
their sexual orientation or mode
of contraction. Thank you for
carrying the load for the rest of
us while we hid behind our veils
of false security, while we
shunned those that reminded us
of the horrors of AIDS. Thank
you for showing us how a com·
munlty might band together to
fight a disease that la so fright·
enlng that most of ua bad con•
vinced ourselves that It waa not
ours to fear. On the afternoon of
Nov. 7, with the announcement
by Magic Johnson, It was ve~
courageously and publicly made
ours.
We are Indebted to the gay
community for having the cour·
age to fight not only tbla disease,
but the apathy of an Ignorant
society. Our Ignorance ls rapidly
fading. I pray that soon our
apathy w~ll. too.
And the world that gives us pain
That fills our lives with fear
On the day after that
Will disappear
,
And the war we've fought to win
I promise you we will win
If not tomorrow
Then the day after that
Or the day after that.

We best remember Linnie bundled in

healing. We'll miss you, Linwood. Be at

drama that apparently began with ·

public appearance in West Palm Beach
by a young woman suffering from tie
disease and the report that the dentist
who officials say may have transmitted it to her had died. •

ecfera ea th officials believed he

mission of the disease by a health-care
provider.
Although he said he did not believe he
bad transmitted the disease to his patient, he urged his other patients, for
their "peace of mind," to be tested for
the disease.
So'far about 200 of Dr. Acer's former
patients have been tested, and public
health officials say they have had a
steady stream of worried callers inquidng about the disease. Among his
patients were about 370 state judicial
and school employees who had dental

Thomas Ptr.D.6erti, deputy chief o
the AIDS Program for the State of
Florida, said there was concern and
anxiety but little panic or hysteria on
the part of the people who have called
seeking information about the disease.
He said that reflected the degree to
which the public has come to recognize
the limited ways in which the disease is
transmitted.
"I believe the reaction we're seeing
reflects 1990, not 1885," he said. "Five
years ago there would have been a lot
more panic, more chaos. The level of
knowldge about the disease now is

Thus, one ormer patient who

Frank Brogan, superintendeqt of
Martin County Schools, said: "We'v
been dealing with this for four weeks
and we haven't had a single person
wants to talk to the media. People don'
want their name associated with
AIDS."
Quesdon of Guidelines
The case of Dr. Acer seems certain
to renew a debate about what, if any,
restrictions, and disclosure requirer
ments should be placed on health-care
workers infected with the AIDS virus
who perform surgery or other invasive
procedures.
At her press conference here today,
Ma. Bergalis, who has no outward signl
of the disease , said she believed su
disclosure should be mandatory.
current non-binding guidelines sa
the decision should be m~de by
health-care worker's doctor or supervisor. There is no requirement or recommendation that the health-care worker
notify a patient or vice versa.
She said she was suing Dr. Acer's estate because she wants to protect
others from going through what she is
now enduring. She said she suffers
from nausea and vomiting and is undergoing experimental medical proc
dures at the University of Miami.
Ms. Bergalis and her family came
the press conference with Dr. Sanfo
E. Kuvin, a resident of Palm Beach and
vice chairman of the board of trustees
of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases in Washington.
Calling Ms. Bergalis' case "the tip of
the iceberg," he said, "The patient has
the right to know what harm can befall
him or her."
The C.D.C. says it is reviewing its
guidelines, but most medical officials
have balked at mandatory disclosures,
•ying there is no evidence of danger to
patients or health-care workers when
praper procedures, like the use of
gloves and masks, are followed.
'Ibey say a disclosure requirement
W'Ollld ruin the careers and betray the
ammymity of health-care workers
without providing any verifiable benefits to patients.
"It's important to recognize that It'
been over nine years since AIDS
been first reported and this is the f
reported, documented case of possiblt
transmission during an invasive proce,,
dure," said Dr. James CUrran, Direc-1
tor of the HIV/ AIDS division of the
Centers. "If this occurs, it's very inf~
quent. This is very important and can1
be ignored, but also it doesn't mean we
expect a whole barrage of cases just
like it."

Letter In Newspaper
Last week, after Ms. Bergalis filed a
lawsuit against him, Dr. Acer drafted a
letter to his former patients telling
them about his disease but seeking to
reassure them "that it is unlikely you
have been infected with the disease
from me." After Dr. Acer died, his lawyer bad the letter printed in the local
they_,,..
papea-.
"I am David J. Acer, and I have
AIDS," the letter bega,n. "I was formel'ly dentist in tbe Mardn County
area and if you were my patients. I ask
you to pleue read this letter."
In hts letter, Dr. Acer said that he
had rigorously followed guidelines set
out by the Centers for Disease Control
and that he did not believe he transmitted the disease to his patient. But he
said he understood that patients could
be worried and upset, and he urged
them to contact health officials for
counseling and possible testing.
"Finally, please trv to understand,"
he concluded. "I am a gentle man, and
I would never intentionally expose anyone to this disease. I have cared for
people all my life, and to infect anyone
wi~ this disease would be contrary to
everything I have stood for."
Reactions from former patients reflected both what bl known about the
disease 8INl the ltlama. fear and uncertainty ldll attachecl te it.
E. Weber Jr., editor and president of
The Stuart News. "Now the reaction is
more sadness than outrage, for both
the dentist and the patient. I think ~
pie understand AIDS better than they
once did."
Today Dr. Acer's lawyer, Deborah
Sawyer, reported that Dr. Acer, who
wu 40 years old, died on Monday. And
._ former patient, 22-year-old Kimberly Bergalis, said at a news confertllel that she believes all doctors and .
)Nl!tlents with the disease should be requbed to disclose the fact before unclerping or inititiating any invasive
medical procedures. "What we've gone
•tlmMgh is an injustice," she said. "If
tJlill can be prevented, if new guidelines
can be established to prevent this from
happening again, then I think that's
what needs to be done."
Her mother, Anna, who was also a
patient of Dr. Acer was more blunt. "I
am very angry at what happened here,
and why this thing happened," she said.
"I am angry at anyone who knew of
this case and didn't do anything to stop

idea it was to animate the scene-stealing
household objects. "Howard had a profound
effect; says Beauty producer Don Hahn,
"not only on the story but on the animators
as well. The fact that three of his songs were
nominated is a tribute to his genius."
The story of Beauty and the Beast, the
tale of a pure-hearted lass who falls in love
with the gentle soul of a hideous and hated
creature, is one with particular resonance
for gay men and lesbians. "Gay people will I
always identify with someone who's on the
outside, who is feared and misunderstoo d;
says Lauch. "I think Howard saw this as a
lovely operetta, but as members of a minori·
ty, we respond to being perceived as ugly,
as a monster. People are afraid of what they!
don't undersupid- that's actually in the
lyrics of one of the songs."
Ashman kept contributing to Beauty and
the Beast as long as his illness left him
strength. One of his last tasks was to listen
by telephone from New York to Angela
Lansbury's recording session for "Be Our
Guest; which, along with the lively "Belle"
and the haunting "Beauty and the Beast;
is one of the film's nominated songs. By that
time, Ashman and Menken had also completed three songs for Aladdin, Disney's
next animated release.
"He was the best of our generation; says
Menken, who is not gay. "He had an absolutely original voice, was a brilliant!
lyricist, had a strong set of opinions, and, as
a director, he knew how everything was going to look."
"l'he one thing that sticks with me about
Howard; says the soft-spoken Lauch, "was
that when Howard believed in you, it instilled this incredible sense of confidence.
And when he believed in something, it was
contagious. People would rally around him.
He gave like no one I ever met. He had this
magical quality of seeming to make your life
better. He was a mirror in which you saw

and just enjoying the view of the
beach and the sounds of the
waves from a point just above
the beach when we noticed an
object that seemed to be moving just at the water's edge. At
that time of the morning there
were no other people in the

a young dolphin. Without hesi

splash water on it to keep it
moist. Neither one of us had any
type of previous experience in
situations such as this, but our
natural instinct was to return it
to the ocean. I grabbed the tail
and John helped me by pushing
the dolphin gently from the front.
The dolphin's mother or mate

Sick, in Ashe's terminology, meant
being bedridden and nonfunctional: as
an avid golfer, prominent speaker, occasional columnist for The Washington
Post, tefevision commentator for HBO
and ABC sports; author of a threevolume history of the black.athlete in
America, and a noted participant in
countless civic projects and protests,
Ashe hardly went into retreat in the
four years th11t followed his AIDS diag·
nosis.
Compiling the 1,600-page treatise "A
Hard Road to Glory" was Ash~'s first
project after learning he had AIDS,
and he admitted he immersed himself
in its research partially as therapy.
Ever in icy control on the tennis court,
Ashe was just as assiduous about remaining in control of himself and his
.
emotions. in his off-court life.

bespectacled athlete never thought
himself a rebel and preferred informatlon to insurrection.
Since he believed his singular suecess carried inherent responsibilities,

during his second round of heart-bypass surgery In 1983, first learned of
his infection after he entered New
York Hospital for emergency brain
surgery in September, 1988. He was
hospitalized after he suffered paralysis of his right arm, the one that served
up 26 aces the day he became the 1968
U.S. Open champion. The surgery and
a subsequent biopsy revealed the presence of toxoplasmosls, a parasitic Infectfon linked to AIDS.
Ashe chose not to publicize his condltion, preferring to protect his famlly's
privacy and being well aware of the
inevitable demands such a disclosure
would place on a man of his celebrity.
He did not disclose his condition until
April 8, 1992, and then only after being
apprlsed that USA Today a national

baseball players, Ashe was the only
black tennis player of his era. It was a
position that left him feeling ostracized
at times, he said, by both blacks and
•
whites.
"It's an abnormal world 1 live in," he
told Sports lllustrated's Frank Deford
in 1966. "It's like I'm floating down the
middle. I'm never quite sure where I
am .. . It does bother me that I'm in
this predicament, but I don't ~well on
it, because I know it will resolve itself."
But Ashe served as a beacon for
future generations of black tennis players.
"He'll always been for black players

who says, 'You can do it,· it dpesn't
matter where you come f(Om or how
you look,' ,1 said Zina Garriaon-Jackson, a product of Houston's public
parks system who reached a careerhigh ranking of No. 4 in the world in
1989.
"Arthur showed you what is possible
to be accomplished," she said. "I always wanted to follow in his footsteps,
and nobody can forget· that he made
the footsteps: I can really appreciate
·me that he made his breakthe t1
through in. It was harder then for a
minority player to break in, especially
in our sport, but he did it to the hilt. "
According to Pam Shriver, Ashe's
example of grace under pressure was
not Jost on the women players campaigning for . equality in their workplace: "He was a voice for all the
minorities, and that goes for women,
too. He brought a level of conscience to
the game, whether he was speakmg on
South Africa or inner-city minorities or
exclusionary policies anyplace. Arthur's influence en tennis didn't fade
after he left the sport.".
Arthur Ashe was born 1n Richmond
on July 10, 1943, and played his first
·tennis at the age of 7 on the courts at
Brookfield Park, the segregated playground adjacent to his home. By the
time he was 14, he had found a patron

tember 1992, Ashe assembled tennis
luminaries at the United States Open
to inaugurate a 15-month, $5 million

namesake foundation to combat AIDS.
With that project safely in the works,
he traveled to Wa sh lngton, wbe re he

�Danilo Eduardo Andrade
Sept. 24, 1959 - April 20, 1994
Danilo suffered a stroke on April 14 similar to that of former President Nixon's last week, an irony he would have appreciated, especially since
- - - - - - , Nixon'sstroke paralyzed his right arm
and leg while Danila's stroke, which
was AIDS-related, paralyzed his left
arm and leg. They died two days apart.
Born in Otavalo, Ecuador, Danilo
moved to New York City when he was
five years old, where he grew up the
fourth of six children of Nelson Andrade, a master carpenter, and Nelly
Andrade. From the age of six, he
wanted to be an airline pilot, and he was
delighted when the family moved to
Long Island, a block from an airport.
But since his eyesight was not perfect,
Danilo decided to become an aircraft
mechanic, studying at the New York Institute of Technology and then the Academy of Aeronautics in Queens.
On April 8, 1983, Danilo met Daniel Berkowitz in a neighborhood bar in
Manhattan. They spent nearly every day together for the next 11 years.
In 1984, his job at United Airlines came through, and with a down payment
from his parents for a new car, he packed up Daniel and his possessions, and drove
cross-country.
On the job, he worked his way up from mechanic to aircraft engine inspector.
At home, he literally built a household, rebuilding floors, installing lighting,
always renovating, fixing and helping others to do so. In the neighborhood, he
became active in his building and block associations, and was the strong, quiet
center of a loving social circle that was always widening. An active traveler and
a political activist, Danilo made a trip to Nicaragua as part of a union fact-finding
mission. He was arrested twice, once during a demonstration for the freedom
fighters and later, in a protest against the president's backtracking "compromise"
on gays in the military. Danilo was a devoted listener of KPFA-FM and reader
of The Nation.
Athletic, competent, low-key, spiritual - "Homosexuality:' he once uid, "is
God's way of keeping the population explosion under control" - Danilo Andrade
suffered greatly during the last three months of his life, but assured his friends
he was not afraid to die. Besides his lover and his parents, he is survived by siblings Susana, Nelson, Rocio, Nelly, Jimmy and seven nieces and nephews.
A memorial service was held to honor Danila's life on Saturday, April 23, at
Comisky Roche Funeral Home. Donations may be made in Danilo's memory to
Project Open Hand. T

�Jose Anthony Amoros m of Gaithers burg, Maryland, died Thursda y, September 8, 1994, of complic ations associat ed
with AIDS at the National Navy Medical
Center, accordin g to his dear friend,
Robert Lee -Oriffin of Gaithersburg. He
was 37.
Amoros was born Sept. 5, 1957 in
Brooklyn, N.Y. He enlisted in the U.S.
Navy in 1982 where he served as an
operations specialist, Griffin said.
While stationed in Italy during the
early 1980s, Amoros began working on a
bachelo r's degree in music by taking
night classes at a music conservatory. He
finished the degree in 1985, said Griffin.
Amoros retired from the Navy in 1992.

GLOBE STAFF
. Allan Albert of New York City,
founder and produce r of-the Proposition, the Cambridge improvisational
eornedy troupe that senred as a
training ground for Jane Curtin,
Henry Winkler, Josh Mostel and
other young comedians, died of cancer Friday in St. Vincent's Hospital
in New York City. He was 48.
The Proposition Theater in Cambridge was a magnet for hip theatergoers from 1964 to 1974. Inside the
converted bakery in Inman Square,
the talented but temperamental Albert oversaw a small troupe of young
actors who mastered improvisational
theater techniques and made the
Proposition nationally renowned.
More than 76 perform ers including Judy Kahn and Monteit h &
Rand took to the tiny theater's stage
and New England ers flocked to the
show for a theatrical experience that
Mr. Albert described in a 1973 interview in the Globe as "A little like
Chinese food ... We draw 160,000
· people a year and virtually all of
them enjoy it ... It's mutual and it's
pleasurable."
''We were all sort of learning how
to be grown-ups," Mr. Albert recalled in another interview in the
Globe in 1989. "It was the first professional thing that I did, and the
Prop started a lot of people off on
their careers, such as Second City
did. We were a very popular show
and developed a loyal following."
Alternately described as "egotistical," "brilliant" and "acerbic" by his
colleagu es, Mr. Albert's relation s
with his ·actors soured in 1974 when
the 10-member cast went on a 25day strike for better hours and
wages and eventually left en rnasse
to form the now-defunct Next Move
Theater.
Geraldine Librandi, a member of
the cast, left with them. "That concept of company that Allan was trying to develop was probably ahead of
its time," she said in a 1989 interview
in the Globe. ''We felt we were being
asked to do more than was possible,
that he was asking a relatively small
group of people to fulfill all of these
responsibilities. It was becoming, for
some people, incredibly grueling and
burdensome."
Like many of the actors, she
maintained a love-hate relationship
with Mr. Albert. "I did learn a great

deal from him. He was the first per
son to give me a job when I graduat
ed from college," she recalled. "H
was very supportive of me in my
work. But Allan could be incredibly
brutal verbally and he had a ternper."
Mr. Albert was born in New
York City and raised in Miami
Beach. He graduate p from Amhers t
College and attende d the Yale
School of Drama, where he founded
the Proposition.
From 1977 to 1979, he was artis
tic director of the Berkshir e Theater:
Festival in Stockbridge. He later became director of comedy for Home
Box Office, where he produce d
sho":s by Robert Klein, George Carlin and Steve Allen and, as a senior
vice presiden t of Gannett Productions, produced corporate films on
Ansel Adams and Stephen Sondheim, and on West Point.
In 1980, he formed Allan Albert
Productions, a leading producer of
shows for the · theme park industry.
He also produced several shows for
the Public Broadcasting System including "You're the Top: The Cole
Porter Story" and directed the Cole
Porter 100th Anniversary Gala at
Carnegie Hall in 1991.
A trustee of the International
Center of Photography, he formed
the Oasis Foundation in 1989 to promote the work of new photogra/
phers.

writer, a voracious reader and a whimsical gardener who loved hi roses. He
was the kindest. gentlest soul I have
ever known.

Robert W. Atwood
A memorial service is planned for
Ju'Iy 15 at 11 a.m. at the Arlington

Beverly who died of AIDS-related complications at the Hospice at Mission
Hill on Easter Sunday, April 16, after
living heroically for 11 years with HIV.

He was 32.
"Bobby" always chose the "road less
traveled." In love with the city, he'd
stroll its streets often, enjoying the grandeur and elegance of Boston's built
surroundings. He loved Maine's Seaside Trolley Museum and never tired of
hunting for the most obscure diner. One
of his favorites was the (now closed)
Flash in the Pan Diner, which served
gourmet food. He savored the experience of Woodman's fried clams and
steamers; Doyle's in J.P. and the Beverly
Depot. He also traveled extensively and
was an avid skier and beach lover. He
delighted in "trashy mystery novels"
and was a huge fan of Looney Tunes
cartoons.
Originally from Beverly, Bobby
graduated from Beverly High School in
1981. After receiving training in culinary arts, he worked as an assistant
teacher and kitchen manager at North
Shore Vocational Technical Institute.
In 1983, he relocated to Atlanta. Returning to Boston in 1984, he went to
work for Federal Express. In 1988 he

I took care ~f my best friend, · ·
I submitted
died from AIDS last June. My fami y
a panel in his memory to The Names Project. His
panel (#3040) reflected his kindness to others, his
fondness for the 49ers, and the love of my family for
him. Several of my adult family members viewed his
panel in the Stockton exhibit that September. His
panel was sunounded in a section of porno stars and
S&M leather sex scenes. Yes, everyone's panel
should be part of the showing, but I could not concentrate on my best friend's memory. I found that section
offensive, especially to my parents and other family
members who have children and would be forced to
be confronted by the obvious sex scenes.
Ms. Yost, my lesbian sister's partner, and I wrote
letters to Anthony Tumey, Executive Director of The
Names Project, requesting that my friend's panel be
placed in an unoffensive section. Mr. Tumey's reaction was rigid; it would stay in that porno panel or be
removed from the Quilt. During an exchange of letters over several months, Mr. Tumey expressed his
concern for "precedence" and artistic freedom. He
cited contradictory policies without ever produced
any wn'tten policy statements. Each of his letters was
patronizing, a slap in my face. In a fit of cold-blooded arrogance on January 18, be wrote a letter to me
saying the issue was under further review but the
same day wrote Ms. Yost to say the panel would soon
be removed from the Quilt.
I wrote to Mr. Tumey that I would pursue a lawsuit
if be returned the panel instead of placing it in an inoffensive section. February 14 I received a letter from
Steinhart & Falconer, the law firm for The Names
Project. I want the public to know that Mr. Tumey is
diverting our contributions to pay lawyers to fight over
the panel of a victim to AIDS, now a victim of Mr.
Tumey's callous and vicious ego. I ask the community
to withdraw all support from The Names Project until
the executive director and board of directors are
replaced with truly caring individuals. Instead of
donating my money to various AIDS projects in several counties, I am being forced to finance a lawsuit just
so my entire family and I can visit Sjafril's panel in the
Quilt, in a section of other ontinary persons.

The cause was kidney failure, said
his companion, John Britton.
Mr. Apolinar, a native of Brooklyn,
worked as a freelance graph ic artist

at the Duplex in Greenwich Village
in 1960 and later - alone or with the
Danny Apolinar Trio - in cabar ets
and piano bars in Las Vegas, Nev.,
Miami, Chicago, New Orleans, San
Juan, P.R., and St. Tropez, Franc e.
Mr. Apolinar and Hal Heste r
wrote the music and lyrics for " Your
Own Thing," the first rock musical,
which opened Off Broadway in 1968.
A modern satire based loosely on
Shake spear e's "Twelfth Night," it
won the New York Dram a Critics
Circle Award as the year' s best musical. The show ran for three years
in New York and had seven simultaneous touring companies .
The show's title becam e an instan t
catch phras e, expre ssing the spirit of
social tumu lt of the youth cultur e in
the 1960's and 70's.
Mr. Apolinar alsQ wrote the lyrics
for " Changes," a jazz musical, to
Addy Fiege r's music, and a series of
cabar et revues in the late 1980's.
In addition to Mr. Britton, Mr.
Apolinar is survived by a broth er,
Ed, of Brentwood, L.l.
as "an objective disor der" and homosexual pract ice as "an intrin sic
evil."
It also made Fathe r Arpin something of a hero to the gay comm unity
in San Franc isco and to other gay
priests.
Fathe r Arpin, who was born in
Chicopee, Mass., worked as a paris h
priest in Springfield, Mass., before
he trans ferred to San Franc isco in
1986 to work as a counselor to people
in grief.
Despite the churc h's teachings on
homosexuality, Fathe r Arpin, who
estim ated that 40 perce nt of Amert. can pries ts and 60 perce nt of those in
urban areas are homosexual, experienced little interf erenc e from the
church. The reason, he sugge sted,
was his disease.
"The Roma n Church continues to
be homophobic," he said, "rooting
out and attem pting to silence gay
priests. I surviYe only becau se I
have public symp athy becau se I
have AIDS."
Still, he said, he found hope in the
fact that the churc h allowed him to
continue as a pries t
"I have nothing to be asham ed,
of," he said. "I don't think I am an
impo ster stand ing before God. I
have a clear conscience."
His mother, who lives in Chicopee,

In 198 1, Averill moved to New

Six weeks after he started at
the paper, Averill was named managing editor of the by-weekly.
Averill served as editor of the
Native from 1981-1984, a pivotal
period in national lesbian and gay
history. During his Native tenure,
Averill quintupled the paper's circulation and guided it into national prominence.
"They were very important
years in gay journalism,"
Weintraub told the B.A.R. after
Averill's death. " It was the beginning of the epidemic, there was
sharp increase in anti-gay violence. There was a rise in the religious right and it was the beginning of the Reagan years."
Also of great concern to
Averill during his Native tenure
was the "intense hypocrisy coming out of Ed Koch's City Hall."

and gay community and the

DALLAS - Matthew Allen
knew he couldn't beat AIDS,
but he at least wanted to make
it to his 13th birthday.
He died Friday, a little more
than a month after he rea\"hed
his goal.
"Matt was \'ery courageous,"
said his grandfather, the Rev.
Jimmy Allen, "He took 36 pills
a day every day of his life and
never complained."
Allen, former president of the
Southern Baptist Convention, had
revealed a painful journey faith
in the book, "Burden of a Secret: A
Story of Truth and Mercy in the
Face of AIDS."
In 198.5, Allen found out his
daughter·in·law Lydia had contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion hours before Matt was
born. Lydia, Matt and Bryan, a
second son born before the bad
blood was discovered, were infected with the virus.
Matt's father, Scott Allen,
wasn't infected, but was dismissed
as minister of education at First
Christian Church 'm Colorado
Springs, Colo., when he sought his
pastor's consolation. Matt was
kicked out of the church's day-care
center and the family was told to
find another church.
When the family moved to Dallas and moved in with Allen and his
'.'ife, church after church refused to
enroll Matt in Sunday school
"Good churc h es. Great
churches. Wonderful people.
Churches pastored by fine men of
God, many of whom I had mentored. Nobody had room for a boy
\\<ith AIDS," Allen wrote.
Bryan, an infant, died in 1986
and Lydia died in 1992.
Matt went to Lakewood Elementary School until Jam; Deoomber.
of
From kindergarten until fourth
grade, only a small number of people
at the school knew of his illness.
In a recent interview, Matt
said his classmates supported him
once they found out he had AIDS.
"They treat.eel me like a normal
kid before we went public, and they
treat.eel me the same aft.er," he told
The Dallas Morning News. He oould
recall only one taunt from a classmate directed at his illness.
Although Matt had been qedridden for about a year, his school
chums gathered shortly before his
Oct 4 birthday for a small party
with balloons and gifts. To the music "The Circle of Life" from the
mo\ie "The Lion King." the childr,m
paraded around Matt, surrounding
him with music, banners and love.
John Ryan Alexander died Sept. 20 of an
apparent suicide in Inglewood, Calif. He was 29.
A native of Bloomington, Ill., Alexander .was
active in the community, including his parachute
jump in August to help raise
funds for the Los Angeles Gay
and Lesbian Community
Services Center's Y·DIVE to
benefit the Pedro Zamora HIV
clinic and gay street youth.
According
to
friends,
Alexander was a U.S. military
veteran. A memorial mass held
Sept. 25 at the American
Martyrs Church in Manhattan
Beach, Calif., was attended by
Alexander's family and his
many friends in the community.
"Even in t hat moment he was
looking beyond his fears and pain
and trying to focus us on the larger
issue," said principal Karen Rogers.
"His theme was thanks to the
students and a challenge to us to be
sensitive to the needs of other people who are HIV positive and who
have AIDS," she said.
A memorial service for Matt was
scheduled Wedmmay at the Dallas
Horticulture Qmrer at Fair Park.
Besides his father and grandfather, Matt is survived by his

COPENHAGEN - Eigil Axgil,
whose lifelong crusade for gay rights
made Denmark the first country in
the world to allow same-sex marriages, died last Friday at 71, a
newspaper reported yesterday.
On Oct. 1, 1989, he and and Axel
Axgil became the first gay men to
take marriage vows legally. That
was the same day that a law took effect in Denmark that allowed homosexuals to register marriages.
In the late 1950s, both were sentenced on pornography charges to
short prison terms for running an in
ternational gay modeling agency.
Shortly after their arrest, th
men melded their first names into
new surname, Axgil, and used it eve
since in a public show of defiance.

DIANE ARCE, 35. Loving mother,
sister and friend. Diane was my
sister and my Rock of Gibraltar. I
could tell her everything and I
knew she still loved me, no matter what. She taught me that life
is too short and to enjoy it while
you can and to fight for what you
believe in and not let anyone tell
you otherwise. She was a firm
believer that her life was hers and
she was going to live it the way
she chose. She was a fighter right
until the very end. Her death has
given me the strength and desire
to want to help others with this
disease. I still have a part of her
in my nephew Desmond, who
has lost both of his parents to
this disease and has matured far
beyond his 14 years. Although
she is gone now, Diane Jives on

�Concealing AIDS often means losing a leg3Cy
My friend died a month ago. His
death notice, with far more detail spent
on his relations than his life, appeared in
the Washington Post 20 days after the
night he died, with hardly a sound, in his
own bed lying next to his lover.
Jim Graham
He'll never have a news obituary, not
in the Post or in the Washington Blade,
because both newspapers require that the
cause of death be identified. And even if
the all-too-common "after a long illness"
or some other dodge had been used, the
facts of his contribution to WhitmanWalker Clinic could implicitly reveal all.
Instead, his family has decided that the
son they raised, educated, and loved
must not and will not be associated with
the disease that killed him. Since AIDS
cannot be mentioned or revealed, neither
will the key details of his marvelous life
be published. And that's the reason that I
cannot name him here, nor can anything
I write identify him.
So, I ask, what's new?
How many times in the years of the
epidemic has this happened, here and
everywhere else AIDS has taken its toll?
Lots. I can close my eyes and recall
many examples: A distinguished psychiatrist whom I once knew well but had
lost contact with comes to mind. His
death received no public notice at all,
and it was eight weeks after his passing
that I learned of it. I was not alone; it
was I who informed his former colleagues at a major medical school. The
public response to his death was silence
as chilling as stone.
Yet I find no consolation in the fact
that my friend's situation is but another
in a long line of "hushed-up" AIDS
deaths. It all makes me angry, but not in
a lashing-out kind of way. It is instead a
deep and churning anger, one that muscles aside the tears that once again I am
holding back. I wonder: Why haven't I
gotten used to all this hiding as just part
and parcel of AIDS? Why an I still so
provoked after so much of this?
I remind myself that decisions to hide
the cause of death, like the diagnosis
that preceded it, are complex. They are
usually reached only after much discussion and soul-searching.
I also know that what prompts this response goes way beyond the views of
surviving relations. There's obviously an
expectation that people generally might
think less of the deceased, and perhaps
the family itself, if the truth were
known. The reaction could be more than
just gossip and negative comments.
There can be legal consequences, as was
the case with a local surgeon who died
of AIDS several years ago. After his
death, former patients became aware of
his HIV status, and there was an uproar
.•
I remind myself
that decisions to
hide the cause of
death, like the
diagnosis that
preceded it, are
complex.
of questions and fears concerning possible infection during surgery. The ensuing
controversy was widely reported in the
pages of the Washington Post and elsewhere. This is not simple stuff.
But this too is undeniable: Near the
heart of it is often AIDSphobia and homophobia - in other words, feelings of
shame. And thus the decision against a
public obituary is not unlike a judgment
borne of shame. It is a judgment on him,
on the disease that killed him, and as I
think about it, on you and me, and
everyone infected with this virus. We are
• •

'
found somehow wanting, when in fact
the reverse is the case.
In my friend's life, there is reason for
great pride. He met and exceeded high
standards. He was professionally accomplished and acclaimed. He gave freely ol
precious talents to the Gay community
and to all in need. He lived his life fully,
finding time for creative expression as
well as charitable endeavors. He enjoyed
a party and he was a great host. He was
in a committed long-term relationship
with a man to whom he was devoted. He
loved, and he was loved.
I am deeply proud of what he and I
and others have done and of the often
heroic struggle of people with AIDS and
their caregivers. Thus I wanted pride visibly expressed to be the keynote. I wanted
our world to know how much we gaineq
by his life and lost in his passing. I wanted to publicly share my memories of him.
But I cannot.
Instead I go along with their decision.
I will not name him here, out of respect
for his family and their wishes. Yet I
hope they understand how I feel. While
it hurts, and hurts deeply, it also adds to
my determination to fight the shadows
as well as the substance of AIDS, so thal
some day we may be free of its chilling
stigmas.

Al's story
Al was 32 years old, full of life, and loved by
all who knew him. He heard of a study being
done with 30 HIV/AIDS patients. Al was one of
th~ who were ch~n. The study involved
whole-body hyperthennia, which means raising the temperature of the body by heating
the blood. (See "Extra Body Heat No Treat for
mv," Positively Aware, November/December
1995.)
The study site where Al went was St Elizabeth H~ital in Lafayette, Indiana. Itwas
sponsored by IDT, Inc., of Pittsburgh and
Hemo Cleanse, Inc., of West Lafayette, Indiana, and was FDA-approved.
Al had been diagn~ with AIDS two
years before entering this study. He was so
happy about having been approved. All he
would say was, "I'm going to live."
On May 18, 1995, he underwent the
whole-body hyperthennia treatment Yet,
halfway through the treatment, Al began to
hyperventilate. This caused cerebral edema
(swelling of the brain), persistent coma, and
pos.sible seizures. For several days after that,
he was attached to a ventilator and was sedated to minimize movement
Eventually, we persuaded the doctors to
decrease the d~ages of the drur,5 to see if he
would come out of the coma. When he did
awake, we noticed that he was not the Al that
we all knew. He had suffered multiple strokes.
He could not walk, could barely lift his arms,
wasn't able to speak, and had l~t control of
his bowels. In addition, one eye was crossed,
and he had trom>le swallowing.
The dodmcanduded that they could
not help him. So we brought him home,
where he died with his family on June 22. ,S
We l~t a great human being due to this
experimental treatment Anyone who is considering this study needs to realize that the
p~ure is by no means proven. Anyone
who undergoes this treatment is risking his or
her life. Remember; one dead person is too
many.

by Dennis Conkin
ay social justice activist and
political consultant T.J. Anthony died peacefully at
home on August 2 after a long illness. He was 37.
Michigan-b orn Anthony survived a traumatic childhood that
included life in more than a dozen
foster homes before serving as an
aide to two San Francisco Supervisors and as advisor and friend to
scores of local community leaders, political figures, and activists.
Anthony served most recently
as an aide to Supervisor Barbara
Kaufman, whose campaign he
managed in 1992.
During his tenure with Kaufman, Anthony helped create the
city's Human Resources Department, but is best known for bis
role in developing the revised San
Francisco City Charter, approved
by voters last year.
Anthony was presented with a
leather-bo und volume of the
Charter by San Francisco Plan-
ning and Urban Research shortly
before his death, and was recognized with a proclamation in July
by Mayor Willie Brown for his
monumental contribution to the
charter reform effort.
"I loved T.J.," Kaufman told the
Bay Area Reporter. "This has been
like losing one of my kids. He
wasn't just my aide, he was a good
friend. His death leaves a tremen-
dousvoid."
During his tenure as an aide to
former
Supervisor
Richard
Hongisto, Anthony was instrumental in developing the city's catastrophic leave policy, needle exchange policies, and the city policy
of reunification of foster children
with their birth families. He also
authored Proposition X, a voterapproved initiative that banned
city officeholde rs from having
slush funds in "Friends Accounts."
"While a public policy analyst
and legislative aide, T.J.'s true passion lay in realizing his core beliefs
through political activism," said
longtime friend and colleague Tab
Buckner.
"This is like losing a brother;'
said long-time friend, attorney
Kay Tsenin. "T.J. was the consummate feminist, and his friends will
always carry him in our hearts."
Anthony helped organize the
nation's first men's march for
choice, was a past president of his
union local, past president of the
Judicial Project, and a member of
the executive board of the California Democratic Party. A convert to Judaism, Anthony was also
on the governing board of the
American Jewish Congress.
A memorial service celebrating Anthony's life and accomplishments will be held at 2 p.m.
Sunday, August 11 at The Congregation Sherith Israel, lo ated
at 2266 California Street ir. San

Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books
Description
An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>
