Internet Surprises

While surfing the Internet a friend of ours came across the Rex Maniscalco flicker account. https://www.flickr.com/photos/efmphotos/albums   Rex was a famous Tampa LGBT Activist and photographer who passed away 8 years ago. In this collection of photos was one of us from Tampa Pride in 1993 OMG.

Rex was a very close friend and more like a brother. We helped organize & run his funeral. Rex asked for lots of cameras at his funeral. Here is one of the YouTube videos of it event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ksgf8UwMgY

We helped his Mom clean out his home. Rex’s Mom told us to take what every we wanted. We took 16 boxes of Rex’s collection of LGBT memorabilia and photos. Then we donated them all to the USF Library Special Collections.  5 years later and all 16 boxes are now on line. https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/downloads/6h440s573Internet
