Steve Blakeley and sister Ronee Blakeley, hometown childhood friends

Precious video of Steve Blakeley and Ronee.  Steve is a beautiful human being and as a gay man was one of the many martyrs to prejudice during the AID's epidemic.  I am so touched by this video, and this is how I choose to remember him.  Last time I saw him he was but a middle schooler, and tonight I get to see him grow up into manhood.
