a portion of that flag. Gilbert was around now and then I hear but I only got to see and hear him speak a bit once. He was from around this part of Kansas, Parsons I think. He was funny and nice. Then I got to march with it, part of it in my hand. I was a worker bee for the Kansas Equality Coalition. I knew nothing, but of any of the things I have done in my life I have never done anything more rewarding than to work with these wonderful people here in Kansas.

That flag helped me with the loss of my wonderful, loving, most talented brother after his death.
