Bom in Ramsey, 111.; schixded at Southern Illinois University— Carbondale, where she earned a bachelors degree in radio-television; and out and about for seven years in Tennessee’s music industry, Bolyard started in country music promotions, played host to a music night, began her own company and published a music maga zine. After spending too much time enhancing and promoting other people’s creative talents, she was selected to enhance her own in India as part of a group study exchange for young professionals. “This is where it all clicked for m e...I real ized that I had a responsibility as a gay person to be out,” she says. “I realized that if I wasn’t com pletely out in my life, then I was saying that racism and every other type of oppression is OK. Until that point I had been living with one foot in the closet...I decided that I wanted to work for social change.” Bolyard knew immediately upon visiting Portland that it was the place to start that work. After a cross-country move, an LCP Deaf C ul ture Night, a sign language class and a music and art show (co-produced by Bolyard and Aspen) that benefited both a local gallery and LCP, the torch was passed from one great leader to another. Grxxl events lead to fund raising, fund rais ing leads to growth, and though LCP events tend to speak for themselves, Bolyard assures: “ I want LCP to be relevant to all women who love women. I want women to feel like LCP is their organization, feel comfortable stopping by the office, call up with an idea they’d like to see us do, know that we represent them, we are them. LCP has a long history, and I believe it can have a longer future.” Bolyard shares her success with classical F pianist and piano teacher Abby HaywcxxJ and their cats, Wasabi and Raleigb.

Rees, assistant professor of counseling psychology at Lewis & Clark College’s Grad uate Schtxd of Education, is developing a research grant proposal to conduct a project in September or October designed ultimately to help decrease prejudice against the sexual minorities community. She needs to find about 50 people willing to help by agreeing to an interview and possibly posting a portion of the interview (with face blacked out and no sound) to the Internet. They would be paid about $10. The grant is through the Evelyn Hooker Award Program, which is named after “the woman who did the first study in the ’60s that demonstrated we aren’t crazy,” Rees said. “If we can demonstrate support in the community, it makes it more likely to get the grant.” For more information call 503-768-6074 or e-mail arees@lclark.edu.
