Nancy and I have been working on last night’s event “Light in the Grove” and today’s World AIDS Day event at the National AIDS Memorial Grove. For Phil and I all things AIDS are at heart about our good friend George Richard, an artist who slowly wasted away, became blind and finally died while living with us on 11th Street. So who do I run into first walking home after all that emotional celebration? Michael, George’s best friend and his wife Drew, who none of us have seen in years. I told them I had to take their picture, or no one would believe that I actually saw them!
Leslie,
I still don’t believe you saw them! ;-)
There should be a special day to celebrate the lives of all the incredible artists, like George, who/that died of AIDES and maybe everyone else too. Nov. 1st. is good but around here at least, it often seems to be more about the state of the virus and statistics than remembering the lives that it took.
Nice to see a picture of Michael & Drew!
Cheers,
Hey Steve,
The event at the AIDS Memorial Grove was (mostly) about the individuals, everyone was crying, but in a good way.
