Don Dolan marching in the SOPride Parade in October 2013

Don died, almost five years ago, but memories of him are immortal thanks in part to his roles on General Hospital, many other TV shows, and countless plays in New York and Ashland.

SOPride Parade – Ashland, Oregon

Ashland’s Gay Pride Parade is a much smaller affair than its San Francisco and New York counterparts. Instead of Dykes on Bikes, we get just one to kick off the parade.

Mother and daughter hippies cruising the streets of Ashland, Oregon

I probably haven’t focused on this part of Ashland enough, but there are a ton of hippies in this town. This mother-daughter duo was waiting for the Southern Oregon Pride Parade to begin.
