Well doesn't it make sense to be respectful to your family members by not drinking out of the carton ( bags for my fellow Canadians)? |
...Milk comes in BAGS up there? |

OMFG! Why is it SO hard for any American to believe that milk can come in something other than a carton?

| quote: | (11-27) 04:00 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- In a carton under Terry Henderling's dining room table is the bloody suit Harvey Milk wore when he was shot.
"I haven't been able to bring myself to open it," said Henderling. "It was just about the one and only suit he had."
Also stashed in his Bernal Heights home is the barber chair - or dentist's chair, no one is really sure - that long stood in Castro Camera, the Castro Street photo store from which the former hippie Milk orchestrated his historic election to San Francisco supervisor in 1977.
In a plastic bag are strands of Milk's pony tail, red highlights glinting amid the brown to this day. And there's the dining room table that Milk brought from New York with his first male lover; Castro Camera's neon sign; buttons from his various campaigns - box after box of the gay martyr's stuff, what its custodians call "Harvey's ephemera."
Henderling rescued the collection when his friend Scott Smith, Milk's ex-lover and heir, died of AIDS in 1995. He and four other friends of Milk and Smith have been working ever since to find a permanent home for it.
Now, 20 years after Milk and then-Mayor George Moscone were assassinated in City Hall, on Nov. 27, 1978, an agreement is taking shape to give the collection to the Gay and Lesbian Historical Society of Northern California and the One Institute of Los Angeles, the largest gay and lesbian archive in the world, according to Linda Alband, a member of the ad hoc Harvey Milk Archives Committee.
The collection would stay in San Francisco, Alband said, according to a plan roughed out by her committee and the two organizations in a meeting last summer.
"It was really a wonderful moment, having a meeting with the historical society and the One Institute and having them agree to do this jointly," said Alband, a literary and arts consultant who helps make documentary films.
"I think it's really a great thing," she added.
The plan is still very preliminary, Alband and Henderling cautioned.
The collection belongs to Smith's 79-year-old mother, Elva Smith of Cullman, Ala., who inherited it when her son died without a will.
In San Francisco this week for the 20th anniversary of the Milk and Moscone killings, Elva Smith said the many memorials and events haven't allowed enough time for a thorough discussion of the plan and any decision.
But contrary to fears unnecessarily stirred up by a Bay Guardian story a few years ago, she's never had any intention of taking the valuable memorabilia out of San Francisco. She does want it to stay intact.
"I wouldn't want it scattered anywhere," Elva Smith said Tuesday. "I would like for it all to be in one place."
Already, with the committee's help, Elva Smith has given to the San Francisco Library about 50 boxes of papers and photographs that belonged to Milk and her son.
"She understood completely the importance of making sure this was preserved and making it accessible to researchers," said Jim Van Buskirk, program manager of the New Main Library's James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center.
The papers and photographs in the Harvey Milk Archive / Scott Smith Collection, which arrived in batches from September 1996 through August 1997, are still being processed and should be open for perusal in the library's San Francisco History Room beginning sometime next year, he said.
Some of the photos, plus campaign buttons, Milk's original camera and other artifacts, are on display through Dec. 19 at the San Francisco Art Commission Gallery in the current City Hall.
"This is first public sharing of the wealth in that estate," said photographer Danny Nicoletta, friend of Milk and Scott Smith and one of the group working to create a home for their memorabilia.
Henderling, who first met Milk in the mid-1970s when he helped found the San Francisco Gay Democratic Club, stepped in and offered to take Milk's effects after Smith died, "because I knew some might have gotten sold. There were people, friends of Scott's, who didn't know the history of the Harvey portion."
Smith and Milk had long been separated when Milk was killed. But Henderling says Milk's things belonged with Smith.
"Without Scott, there would have been no political Harvey. He was the true political wife," Henderling said. "Even though their sexual relationship broke up, which isn't all that unusual, they were still soul mates."
Much of the collection has occupied the middle of Henderling's three rooms for the last 3-1/4 years - including the suit in the box under his dining room table.
It's taken a long time to secure a permanent resting place for it, Henderling agreed, "but we're not working fast at it."
He and Alband hope a formal agreement and all the legalities can be squared away next year.
"Ultimately, it would be very nice for portions of it to travel," Henderling said. "Harvey was not only a gay San Francisco supervisor, he's become world famous."
Efforts to construct a memorial to Milk in Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C., have been mired in complications for years.
An urn containing strands of Milk's hair, campaign buttons and other memorabilia has been in storage there for at least 10 years while ownership of several cemetery plots is worked out.
Last year's flap, stirred up because of a hotly disputed claim that the urn contained some of Milk's ashes, has died down. But a permanent memorial still seems far off, 20 years after his death.
On what would have been Milk's 68th birthday in May, Alband said, members of the gay Alexander Hamilton American Legion Post placed a Styrofoam replica of a headstone on one of the plots.
On Veterans Day, she said, they went back and found it still there. It was covered with flowers.< |
