Another side of Nancy Pelosi [View all]
We spent time in the National Memorial AIDS Grove in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park today. It's a verdant, peaceful grove of remembrance and contemplation; made more so by our recent rains. At the entrance is a stone plaque placed in the walkway leading down into the grove. It honors Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. For those with small screens or reading difficulty, I'll quote it here:
In Honor of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi
Who worked tirelessly on behalf of people with Aids. Was instrumental in securing national status for the Aids Memorial Grove in 1996, and has spent many hours tending this garden of serenity, renewal, and hope.
"Thousands of people have died in San Francisco, millions in the world. The point of the grove is to remember them, one at a time."
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi
In commemoration of twenty-five years of service to the people of San Francisco and the United States of America as a Congressional Representative.
Dedicated on World Aids Day, December 1, 2012
