On my way to Tea and Sympathy, yesterday, I came upon the AIDS Memorial Park in Greenwich. It was dusk and a perfect time to appreciate it. This site was chosen because St. Vincent’s Hospital, famous for its compassionate innovations in treating AIDS patients in the 1980s, was located here. If you would like to learn more, read this:

Interesting… When I was a young whippersnapper in college, I had a close friend who was lesbian. She made me a T-shirt – a plain white T-shirt where she drew in a pink triangle with the words silence equals death below it. I was too ashamed of my ignorance to ask her what it meant. I didn’t know that it was associated with the AIDS epidemic. She was really radical and I always assumed it meant that if you didn’t come out that you were living a lie and your true self was dead. Anyway, seeing your photo really took me back in my memories. Thank you.
