A memorial for Frank Robinson, a gay man who was a speechwriter for the late Harvey Milk, will be held Friday, August 8 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at the San Francisco Women's Building, 3543 18th Street.
Mr. Robinson, 87, died June 30.
In addition to writing Milk's speeches, Mr. Robinson was a successful science fiction author. He wrote The Prometheus Strain in 1975 and, with Thomas Scortia, wrote The Glass Inferno, which became the basis for the film, The Towering Inferno.
A reception will follow the memorial.
