(20th Anniversary Pictorial Tour)
Post #31:
It was 'big fish in small waters' all the way through Indiana, but just the opposite was true, charging into Chicago. (Each picture has more details.)

I saw a post card with this near identical view; however this picture was taken by Carl Lebman
from our courtesy suite at the Stouffer Renaissance in Chicago. We had
big plans, that went bust! All news was on The President, as Bill
Clinton also arrived, that very same day. There would be no visit to
Oprah Winfrey Show; no TV spot with Chicago Children's Hospital (per
prior invitation), and not a single bite in any form of media--nothing!
So, we spent the evening of June 28th, drying out (from a wet ride),
and trying to see if we could lend some publicity, to one of a dozen or
more AIDS Agencies in the city. (Picture from June 28, 1995)

Picture #065
Lucky for us, we had an opportunity to visit Chicago Women's AIDS Project (CWAP); and were told several stories, not unlike the lost girls of Lorain, Ohio, Richard Priebe told us about, a couple weeks earlier. Some of their women were also in hiding from abusive situations; therefore we were prevented from meeting even a single client. So, our visit there turned out to be just CWAP on a flyer. We still had one more day to fill. Look forward to that post, tomorrow. (Flyer from June 29, 1995)
