Thanks for your kind words and for sharing some of your reminiscences with me. And thanks, especially, for your support of the Houston LGBT museum and archives!
Best,
Gerard

I see that you're the only other LibraryThing member with a copy of J. D. Mercer's They Walk in Shadow (1959). You might want to take a look at the listing for my copy: I provide the real name of the author, his birth and death dates, and some details about his biography (among other things, he co-owned the first gay bookstore in the United States).
Best regards,

I bought the book because, many many years ago, I did a paper for a grad-level class on the local politics of a particular regional planning agency; my county had seceded, and I wanted to know why. Did the study while the discussions were going on, and collected several interesting books because I needed to know the intellectual underpinnings of the dispute. Still can't say whether the secession was right or wrong; as is often the case, local politics has its own logic and its own drivers. The county commission felt as though someone had backed them into a corner, and they were left with a bunch of bad options. For better or for worse, they chose the option with the loudest bang.
There was a lot of paranoia in the decision, and an enormous amount of pressure from some other political actors. An interesting month. The paper was pretty good; one of my friends built a seminar around it. I was appropriately flattered.
Then I turned into a state government bureaucrat with no action in that particular arena. So it goes. Still glad I wrote the paper.
And baseball's coming. I promise.
