Burling Vincent McAllester's life will be celebrated at two memorial drop-in events in San Francisco. The first, at the Slovenian Hall, 2101 Mariposa near Vermont, is Saturday, November 4. The second will be Sunday, November 5, at the Center for Sex and Culture, 1349 Mission Street (between 9th and 10th streets). Both days are 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., with a sharing circle at 2:30, for story telling, grieving, laughing, comparing notes, and making new connections.
People are invited to come and take some remembrances of Mr. McAllester's artwork.
Mr. McAllester, who always wanted to be called Bur, died by his own hand February 11. He was 65.
