Thousands of people turn out for this event every year to fight the battle against AIDS. And I usually walk in memory of my friend F. Leo Brown (of Connecticut & New York) who died from AIDS back in 1991 at age 49.

    Remnder: Walk or run for Aidswalk this morning.

  • Carolyn Classen

    Congressman Raul Grijalva  (Honorary Co-Chair), Supervisor Ray Carroll & his son Carlos, former Ward 3 Councilman Jerry Anderson were present today, but I missed retired Professor Maurice Grossman, a gay activist, who used to walk with me (but he died in January of this year).  56,300 Americans are still being infected with the AIDS virus each year according to CDC (Center for Disease Control) stats.  Always inspiring is to see all the hundreds of young people involved in this walk/run.
