Fuck it, might as well just randomly tweet this:

I'm looking for friends of Andrew Olin, who died of AIDS in 88-89. Originally from Vicksburg, MS; spent much of his young adulthood in Atlanta. Someone outside our family made a panel on the AIDS quilt for him.

RTs appreciated.

He was my uncle; I was two when he died. I'd like to know more about him, since I turned out queer myself, but my family didn't really know any of his "people". I know he studied architecture and occasionally did drag.

this has gotten an incredible amount of traction in the last 24 hours and I want to thank again everyone who's boosted or sent well wishes! :)
