"Q&A Queer Arts" Remembers Austin Mueller at Metro East Pride 2010
By: COLBY KLUTHEon behalf of Daniel McCree Foundation
We were both honored and saddened to learn about the untimely loss of Local Artist/Writer Austin Mueller (May 2010) at this years Metro East Pride Festival.
And inspired also by his partner Shane , who is working to continue the legacy of this great spirit. LINKS SOON to AUSTIN MUELLER SCHOLARSHIP FUND.
Austin Mueller (18) Student at SWIC, in Belleville Illinois took his own life
in May 2010. We are both saddened and honored to include him in our tributes at http://www.danielmccree.org/ .
It seems each of the 3 years I have participated in Metro East Pride, we are reminded why we do what we do. I can not begin to put into words how moved I was to meet Shane, the surviving partner of Austin Mueller.
It was the deciding factor in continuing my leadership w/ Metro East Pride another year. Serving as VP the past year, was a lot ... See Moreof work, not to be undertaken lightly.
However, in learning about one of the vendors, Q & A QUEER ARTS of Belleville- I was paid back threefold in an instant! Blessed to have met the gang!
Sincerely,
Colby Kluthe, VP Metro East Pride 2010
