Educated Canadians About AIDS
By CLY DE H. FARNSWORTH
Special lo The New York Times
In one recent segment, Dr. JepsonYoung summed up the goal of his
"AIDS Diaries." "If I have managed to
reach out and educate people, to touc
them and perhaps change their view
point about people with AIDS and ga
people, then I think that will be m
great est contribution."
His honesty won him admi rers. "I'd
been gay since I could remember," he
declared in one of his earliest seg.
ments.

effort to convince a judge was futile.
And now it's too late.
"He got his compassionate release," Kubas said bitterly after her son, iHOICY
Xgung ~-, died in a California Me ical Facility prison
hospice on July 7. ~.::,
Only hours before, a
Monterey County judge had
delayed the 28-year-old convicted armed robber's request for a compassiona te release.
"I'm so bitter and angry
at the system," said Kubas,
who began a hunger strike
on June 14 to try to win her
son's freedom. "What justice
does this serve?"
Doctors last week predieted Young, suffering from
AIDS-relate d lesions in his
brain and lungs, had less
than two months to live.
They said his problems,
which left him unable to
r
walk, we_e not likely to improve.
Young's weakened state
led prison officials to recommend his release.
But in Monterey County
Superior Court July 7, prosecutors warned that Young's
condition might stabilize, allowing the convicted felon to
return to a life of crime if released.
Judge Harkjoon Paik
agreed that Young shouldn't
immediately be freed. But he
said he would take the motion for compassion ate release under submission, al-
RQlfGiffl X@IS'.i 29, of Charlottesville,
Virgmia,ed Monday, May 24, 1993, at
his parents' home in Charlottesville from
complications associated with AIDS, according to his best friend, Jim Saunders
of· Washington, D.C.
Known to his family and friends as
Bob or Bobby, Yates was born and raised
in Norfolk, Va. After graduating from·
high school, he came. to D.C., in the
summer of 1983 with his high school
friend, Church Hershberger, to live with
his new friend Jim Saunders.
"During his eight years in the Wash~
ington area, he made many friends that
fell in love with his endearing personality," said Saunders.
He stayed in Washington, working in
restaurants and hotels as a waiter, until he
became ill two years ago and moved to
his parent's house.
Yates was a member of D.C. Sports
Association and bowled on an Alexandria •
team. He was nicknamed "Bubbles" by
members of the team. The name, according to Saunders, appropriately described
his lighthearted and vivacious nature.
When Yates learned that he was HIV
positive, he volunteered to take part in a
controlled study · on AZf through the
National Institutes of Health. According·
to Saunders, he hoped that his participation would help those who would follow
with this disease.
When his condition became full blown,
Yates volunteered to speak at several
AIDS seminars in the Charlottesville area
lowing him another 90 days
to rule.
The case also drew the
wrath of ACT UP!, which accused authorities of acting
vindictivel y in keeping
Young from his mother.
"The death of Stanley
Young shows that the compassionate release procedure
in the state of California is
neither-the re is no compassion, and, too frequently,
only cadavers are released,"
said ACT UP! spokesman
Jim Lewis.
Young had served
roughly four years of a 14year prison term for armed
robbery and burglary. He
had pleaded guilty to burglarizing one elderly Salinas
couple and robbing another
and was eligible for parole
on Dec. 31, 1996.
"They got everything
from my son," Kubas said.
"He's paid fop his crimes."• I

on the topic of "Living with AIDS." His
speeches were received with great appreciation and empathy, said Saunders.
Yates's remains were cremated.
In addition to Saunders, he is survived
by his mother and stepfather, Jean and
Joe McDaniels of Charlottesville; and the
"main love of his life," Michael Scott of
Springfield, Va; and his many loving
friends.
A memorial service will be held in his
honor from 4 to 9 p.m., Saturday, June
19, at the home of Mike and Denise Scott
at 6404 Higham Dr., Alexandria, Va For

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>
