Today is the anniversary of the death of Ken Dawson. For those that do not know, Ken was once the Executive Director at SAGE, Senior Action in a Gay Environment. He was among that group of pioneers that were beginning to build solid institutions in the community which inspired the need for a community center in New York. SAGE was one of their first tennants. Ken guided the board and the community at its beginnings and built it a home on 13th Street in the Village. He did all this as friends were dying before him.
He was 30-something, muscle-bear with the warmest, most endearing smile.
Protease inhibitors were just coming out in 1992, but not in time for Ken.
