Oliver sat behind me in Miss Hatchette's home room, and he made a marvelous little secret warble, just to torture her. It worked, much to the amusement of the class.
Later, Oliver and I became quite close when we were both living in New York in the late '70s and early '80s. It was only because Oliver was so hip that I ever saw the inside of both Studio 54 and the Mud Club.
He was amazing. Oliver was a talented graphic designer at Chermayeff & Geismar before he started his own business. He was renown for his activism and co-designed the well-known pink triangle logo for Silence = Death. Later he was one of the founding members of ActUp, a civil-action group advocating for awareness about AIDS. Ironically, it was AIDS that took his life (and his sight before that--the worst thing for an artist). I'm not sure, but I think we lost him in 1990.
I think of him often and miss him every time I do.
