Summary
Friends and family tell the stories of five individuals whose lives are lovingly represented by panels in the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. David Mandell, Jr., an 11-year-old hemophiliac; Dr. Tom Waddell, Olympic athlete and organizer of the Gay Games; Robert Perryman, a former drug addict turned proud husband and father; Jeffrey Sevchik, the lover of film historian, author and gay activist Vito Russo; and David C. Campbell, a gay "everyman" whose story is told by his dying partner, Lt. Commander Tracey Torrey. The quilt, when displayed in Washington D.C. in October 1987, covered 14 acres, by 1996 had grown to over 20 times that size
