Harvey Milk and UAlbany

posted Mar 3, 2009 at 4:30 PM

UAlbany fact of the day: Harvey Milk is an alumnus. He graduated in 1952 with a major in mathematics (he was from Long Island). Joe Persico, who was one of Milk's classmates, told the UAlbany news service, "He was a known character on campus. He was not a shrinking violet by any means, he thrust himself into the forefront." (Thanks, Lorre!)

I love that line in the movie promo -- I'm here to recruit you! Makes me chuckle every time.

Harvey Milk has been an inspiration to me on some good ways. I am also a BS Mathematics graduate. I also hope for Harvey Milk's success.

What a sad case. It's very difficult to find a developer with the resources, vision, and commitment to take on a costly and risky project like St. Joe's. It's a shame that the hidebound conservatism of the neighborhood stymied the first and only realistic, pragmatic, and frankly very cool, project to come along in many years. I hope the church and the neighborhood gets one more shot, although I'm not optimistic.
