I was blessed to have had Max(ine) as a close friend for a time in the late 70s in Boston. I still miss her warmth, her energy, her tenacity. Max was instrumental in helping me to come out, loud and proud. For my birthday in 1978 she gave me a copy of 'Lavender Culture.' While I don't have that copy, I have reclaimed it as an important part of my upbringing. Max was, and will always be, in my heart of hearts.
