today i remember my first friend, steven landman. i lost him to aids more than 20 years ago. steven i met when i moved to new york. i had just come out, and he was the first gay friend i made. he was beautiful, so beautiful. he had the face of a runway model and the body of adonis to match. we joked and said he had the smile of pearl drop teeth as bright as farrah fawcett's. he introduced me to yoga. he introduced me to medication, and he introduced me to some very, very late nights in the east village, it you know way mean. a couple of years later, things changed. steven was ill, hospitalized at st. vincent's, and a number of times there and back again. finally his body succumbed to this unforgiving disease. so i celebrate steven and many others. may he rest in peace. let's take a moment to acknowledge the trail blazers who have led the way to confront the aids pandemic. leaders such as open hands, bruce brinker, barbara, congresswoman nancy pelosi, senator diane feinstein. and let me take a moment to thank wells fargo's own mario diaz.
