Cool but yet sad site I was hooked up with tonight!

If you know someone who has died of AIDS and has a panel in the Quilt, here is a site that will search the quilt for the block!

This block includes my cousin who passed away.

Sad and beautiful indeed.......

Thank you, my dear KitchenWitch....

He fought the good fight for all public employees with aids

Ralph Earl "Nick" Cornwell:


The pic on the quilt is of a machine Nick built that played dozens of instruments at once. It sounded like a giant rhythmic marimba. He made some really cute music too. I knew him several years but we had lost touch. Then one day in April '87 I was in a bookstore/coffee shop and had pulled a copy of Shaw's "Man and Superman" from the shelf. Tucked in the book was an order form filled out by Nick exactly one year prior to the date I was standing in the store. I bought the book, kept the order form and called the number on the order form. We got together and visited for a good long time. One month later, he died.
