Twenty-Five years ago this week, the US Centers for Disease Control announced the deaths of two young men. This was the first public acknowledgement by the U.S.Government that (what would later be named) AIDS was here.

530,000 Americans have died of AIDS.
Over 20,000,000 people worldwide have died of AIDS.
There is no cure.
There is treatment for some.
Help victims, families, and friends.
Help raise money for research.
Help educate.
Help.


To my friends, acquaintances, and all those whom I never got to meet,
To their Families and Friends,
My heart is with you always.

Love and Peace, Clarence
