Tuscon, AZ: 07.16.07

Moving on from the California desert to Arizona, the heart continued as we drove into the parking lot of Wingspan, the LGBT Community Center. However, once inside, we forgot all about the heat as we were greeted by the warm staff. This Center is the largest center we visited on our sixteen day trip. It is located in a twostory building with seventeen paid staff and numerous volunteers. We recorded many wonderful stories while we were there and met people we shall never forget. After the interviews were ended we were taken to City Hall by Bruce Cole to visit the memorial for Richard Heakin who was the victim of a brutal hate crime in the 1970s.
