Are there many, some, a few of us over 50??

Jayc, welcome to TE I think we need to start an "are there many, some, a few of us over 60?" thread. I suspect there are quite a few here.

Jaydee, I've seen sections of the quilt several times, the last time displayed at the end of the AIDS ride. I saw the entire quilt once, on display in about '83 when they displayed it at the Moscone Center which is San Francisco's main convention center.

I believe it would not fit there now, even with sections displayed upright. I went there with friends one of whom lost her Dad to AIDS, and saw panels some of men I knew, one acquaintance has 3 quilts! Popular guy A great guy! I miss Mark.

Anytime I see the quilt whether sections or online there are friends I look for, yet hope I don't find there.

It's hard to explain my feelings about the quilt and this horrible disease. Cancer has cut a swath through my family, I personally have been much more affected by cancers of all sorts. Cancer sucks, as they say.

But my grief and anger about AIDS is complex and I can understand seeing the quilt effecting anyone.
