Worth visiting!

Who the hell is Cal Anderson, and why does he get a park?

I guess I could have read the signs. Anyway, this is a nice park. It was freezing cold today so it was pretty empty. I wonder where the junkies went though.

He's some Senator

He’s a senator from the area who was also the state’s first openly gay legislator and died of AIDS in 1995.

He was a good friend

Cal was a friend of mine. He was such a good man. When I heard he had AIDS I wanted to go and see him, but I afraid of seeing death.

I never did go to see him. A few weeks later I read in the paper that he had died.

I always regret not getting to say goodbye to someone who really deserved it.

I am so glad there is a park named after him. He deserved that for all his bravery and kindness…
