Thursday, June 24, 1999 -- Pictured are STONEWALL Veterans' Association ("S.V.A.") Ambassadress Cristina Hayworth (up from Puerto Rico) with a Cuban cigar gift for Mayor RWG (which he had to "by law" refuse) and bussing a very amused and fun-filled New York City Mayor Rudy W. Giuliani with S.V.A. President Williamson Henderson laughing big time and, in the rear, S.V.A. Vice-President Jeremiah Newton is beaming. Literally to the far left is former and brief S.V.A. Corresponding Secretary (she was still allegedly working on her first memo) Harriet "SchMo" Garblestein. It's the first time we ever saw her smile!
The Mayor was with the S.V.A just three days later leading the annual New York City Gay Pride Parade for most of the parade route. When Mayor Rudy used to march with the unpopular Log Cabin Republican boys, the Mayor unfairly -- due to association -- got many boos and hisses from the parade spectators. In sharp contrast, whenever Rudy marched with the S.V.A.'s Stonewall veterans and the unmistakable blue, classic 1969 Cadillac convertible "Stonewall Car", he received overwhelming cheers and kisses from the crowds!! And, so Mayor Rudy gladly observed and verbally commented on the very welcomed change! By the way, Rudy loves the car!
I've forwarded to a number of non-freepers.
