AIDS quilt shows love, grief
By Jennifer Reynolds Kansan staff writer
Looking at the 16 panels you see more than statistics; you see the people they represent and the families and friends who cared for them.
Tim Barbo is one of the people represented on the AIDS Memorial Quilt, part of which has been on display at the Spencer Museum of Art. He died of complications of AIDS three years ago in California.
Beverley Barbo, of Lindsburg, Tim's mother and author of the book "The Walking Wounded," said that a friend of hers made Tim's panel after seeing her read the book is about Barbo's experience with her son's illness and death.
a convertible that was he and Tommy's pride and joy. There are drops of rain or tears coming down making new life where they hit."
"They used Tim's favorite colors and some outer space objects because he was really into that," she said. "She used a representation of
Barb soared the last six months of Tim's life with him and his friend Tommy in California. Tommy died of complications of acquired immune deficiency syndrome three months ago.
Barbo is now planning to write another book about her son and Tommy.
"I am so glad Tim found someone to love even if it was a little late," she said. "People need to realize that homosexual love is a legitimate, real love and caring outside of the sexual activity."
The entire AIDS quilt has been on display three times in Washington. The quilt is composed of 10,500 panels and covers 14 acres.
"Walking through the quilt is one of
the most heart-rending experiences one can experience," she said. "If people would just take the time to look at it they would be overwhelmed.
"There was a panel made by a mom who had lost both of her sons. At the bottom it read, 'Pray for me; I have another son.' "
Andrea Norris, director of the museum, said it was one of hundreds of museums and theaters across the city that were participating in the event.
"There has been an enormous response to the call," she said. "It is an indication of our concern about the crisis."
The two sections of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display at the museum were made possible by an anonymous donor, Norris said.
The quilt's impact on the public is evident, she said.
