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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

�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

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

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

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 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.

Mr. Apolinar, a native of Brooklyn,
worked as a freelance graph ic artist
• the 1950's. Later, he composed

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

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 .

Fathe r Arpin, who was born in
Chicopee, Mass., worked as a paris h

he trans ferred to San Franc isco in
1986 to work as a counselor to people

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

was his disease.

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."

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.

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

Shortly after their arrest, th
men melded their first names into

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
in my heart and I speak to her
everyday through my thoughts
and my tears.

�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.

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
Francisco. Y

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>
