following the assassination of Harvey Milk
in San Francisco.

With candles shielded from the wind,
the crowd moved from the lawn of the
church down Church Street, gathering once
more in front of City Hall. Onlookers in
adjacent restaurants marvelled at the num-
ber of men and women proceeding along in
peaceful protest.

The message sent to the state that night
was clear: The gay, lesbian, and bisexual
communities of Vermont will not tolerate
violence or harrassment in any form, par-
ticularly when it threatens the lives of the
members of those communities.

We all send our deepest wishes for the
recovery of Roger Macomber and extend
our sympathy and compassion to his
friends and the members of his family. As
Roger was not covered by medical insur-
ance, a trust fund has been established to
help pay hospital costs. Donations can be
sent to: Roger Macomber Trust Fund, c/o
Mrs. Alice Macomber, PO Box 5118,
Burlington, Vennont 05402.
