Pictured above, standing alongside the mighty 1969 Cadillac convertible, is S.V.A. Founder and President Williamson Henderson. Riding "shotgun" in the car and partially obscured is S.V.A. Ambassador Storme DeLarverie (wearing a blue hat). "Gay Power" fist-saluting from the backseat is S.V.A. 2nd Vice-President Bert ("Biggi Berti") Coffman. Standing in the car is S.V.A. Ambassadress Cristina Hayworth up from Puerta Rica. Also in the backseat on the far side is S.V.A. Executive Committeemember Rose Giordano. Driving the legendary blue "Stonewall Car" is the proud, red-shirted S.V.A. Assistant AnDre Christie -- who is about a decade younger than the car! Walking behind the "SW-Car" is Stonewall veteran David Bermudez and his spouse (not visble) Bob Isadore, down to New York City from Massachusetts.

After the Gay Parade: two sun-beat but happy warriors

Proudly pictured above are Stonewall veterans Chief Dave West the S.V.A. Public Relationist and Williamson Henderson the S.V.A. President. The sunny scene is after the Gay Pride Parade at the S.V.A.'s "Stonewall Duncheon" at the Hudson Corner Cafe on Hudson Street in the West Village of Manhattan. By the following year's parade, Dave West was dead!

Another Gay Pride Parade photo will be placed here -- "C U in September"!
