Stranger things have happened...especially in Los Angeles.
It would be great to hear from John Rechy directly. Is that possible?

He met just once with our research group's head guy - confirmed also a bit more about the Cooper's Donut stand riot that he had witnessed- but did not show up at the gala opening nor any of the presentations held over a ten day period- The physical exhibit has since appeared @ WEHO CityHall and recently @ L.A.CityHall during Pride Month - Get the Arcadia book-for a real eye opener. So many goodies were unearthed in 18 months of research of preStonewall L.A.- My access to uncatalogued goodies @ OneArchives was the key - it was a blast leading a bunch of G/L youth thru all this discovery--Someday the plan to assemble a standing G/L history museum in town-- Even Bunker Hill had such to input--I earlier had fed history material to Stuart Timmons - whatever Iwas finding whilst poring thru L A Times archives on Proquest-some of which made it into GayL.A. as well as Lavender Los Angeles (title blurted out by me that everyone deemed to be used!) Whew---Later!
