run for supervisor and willie brown said he would be the honorary chair of the committee for the harvey milk for re-election for supervisor. people had real ambitions and i have no doubt they would have been fulfilled. >> i agree. looking back at it, after harvey was killed i looked back and part of that legacy was agnew's attempt to get the nondiscrimination bill every single year. finally got it passed by both houses and the republican governor vetoed it nearly burning down the state building but i also think he almost certainly could have become mayor and what a difference that might have made to have an openly gay man, that is the part that causes me the most grief when i contemplate what might have been. >> another question here. >> you mentioned a superhero of sorts which is often the way. given you were there in the 70s, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts whether his reputation has evolved or changed. >> i was speaking about interviewing his family members. now we still don't know but his memory faded very quickly and part of that was the loss of a generation and their stor
