MEMORIAL MOMENT: A 12-foot square panel bearing signatures and comments from members of the University and the Greater Rochester communities—many of whom had family members and friends who died of AIDS—went on display in Rush Rhees Library this winter. With messages ranging from political calls for bureaucracies to “wake up” to deeply personal tributes —“Jim, You will never be forgotten. I was more because of you.”—the panel was originally signed in 1994 as part of the national Names Project AIDS Quilt, which was then on display in the Goergen Athletic Center. The panel was saved by Linda Dudman, associate director of health promotion at University Health Service. After a week on exhibit in Lam Square in the library, the panel was deposited in the Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation.
