We lost Harvey too soon, but in these stories, we get to hear the impact of his love and courage.” The play is based on interviews with California State Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, former San Diego City Councilmember Toni Atkins, Jackie Grover, AIDS Quilt founder Cleve Jones, California State Senator Christine Kehoe, former Harvey Milk campaign manager Anne Kronenberg, former California State Assemblymember John Laird, newphew Stuart Milk, activist Nicole Murray-Ramirez, photographer Daniel Nicoletta, Mary Stockton, activist Robin Tyler, Dottie Wine and others. Loughrey has also secured permission to use many photos by San Francisco LGBT photographer Daniel Nicoletta. </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><br style="line-height: 17px; "></span></div></span><br style="line-height: 17px; ">JT Buck Arts Director First Grace United Church of Christ 350 S.
