All the dear souls I worked with, friends, children, during the years I worked in and directed AIDS service organizations for many years.

I live in Colorado now, all of the friends and clients mentioned were in the Philly/South Jersey area

Love, strength, humor, compassion, bravery, cheers, fears – so many stories, personalities, feelings, journeys. The best work I've ever done, the most proud I've ever been.
