Chicago:
Last month a Columbia College Chines student(who happens to be straight) I knew informed me about a gallery looking for a GLBT Exhibit at the Bridgeport Art Center for June's Pride Month. It's a non-profit owned by a Japanese-American. The location of the exhibit is in the Bridgeport area of Chicago, known for being the home neighborhood of 2 former Chicago Mayors-the Daleys , as well as the home of the Chicago White Sox. And I happen to be a Jewish Openly gay man who was tabbed by Cubs Hall of Fame Announcer Harry Caray as the Teams #1 fan in 1987. He introduced me a few years earlier as a guest on his 10th Inning Show as John Q. Public,the Fan! I roamed the Friendly Confines for over 25 years and became part of the lore of the fans in the cheap seats... however there are no more cheap seats in the bleachers.
What is interesting, where as most Cubs fans who do remember me, are not aware I was gay or a known photographer in San Francisco between the early 60s until the late 80s. There will be all kinds of images at the Human Thread Gallery on the 5th floor. Attached is a taste of what to expect- The Exhibit runs from June 17- until July 8th. Tell you friends...

The exhibit is in it's last days. The best day was the 3rd Friday event. Sadly,the young man mentioned from Columbia College graduated, however problems at his home made him miss the exhibit. I found the Bridgeport Art Center an exciting place... more so in the future. If I was 50 years younger, I would be one of their lucky resident artist who rent lofts and studios there. I want to thank Michiko and Tim for their courageous act of kindness by offering me the opportunity to have my "Spirit of 76" exhibit at their HumanThread gallery. Next month I am being inducted into the National Gay Sports Hall of Fame and will write soon about it. Cheers,Jerry
