I remember Derek Jones, Brian Greenbaum, and Eric Brudner ’84. I’m sure there were others. As the rest of us are getting more middle-aged and forgetful, it seems we’re in danger of losing the early history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and questioning (LGBTIQQ) organizations at Brown.
