Not planning to attend

I live with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome/Fibromyalgia and other related problems. Despite that, I sometimes give harp recitals, am composing many pieces for harp, and publish articles on harp as possible. Still single—still hoping. May get to San Francisco next summer. I give recitals at Macalester every few years. I received an award for my music from ASCAP, and one for writing.

My Mac Memories: Lesbian-Gay Blue Jeans Day (please be aware there was no Transgender movement in the 70s-80s), showing The Word is Out (we should show it at the reunion), our first dance at 30 Macalester Street, losing our funding to Springfest, coming out in the Mac Weekly, not dating anyone on campus and our little office and library.

Planning to attend.

I'm still working as a psychotherapist for HealthPartners, working about equally with LGBT and straight clients. I recently joined the ScotsPride reunion committee, which has already helped me reconnect with some great people.

My Mac Memories: LGBT things weren't very overt at the time—it's hard not to think first of the Vietnam War, the Moratorium march on Washington, RFK's and King's assassinations, etc. It's hard not to appreciate Macalester as the place where I did a lot of growing up in four short years. I remember interim at the "Institute for the Study of Nonviolence" run by Joan Baez and some friends of hers in Palo Alto, Calif. What could be more apropos for that time?
