So. Many. Pictures. All contained in 1 box. All the upheaval & moving in my life did get me to put it all in 1 place, & tonight, I found it!

It was 20 years ago last month, and I was at Teen Institute (TI) for the third time. I was like, on the state planning committee this year.

TI was, on its face, about alcohol & drug abuse prevention and youth leadership. It was a version of SADD, but more broadly focused.

For me, though, TI was so much more important than that. It was the '90s, and I was a gay kid growing up in the Youngstown, Ohio suburbs.

TI was the 1st place I met gay people. Jim was one of them, along w Mickey Hart. They were young adults who were out. It changed everything.
