Happy Pride Month! Harvey Milk was one of the first openly gay individuals to hold elected office in the US. He was assassinated by former SFPD officer Dan White. Members of the SFPD openly wore "Free Dan White" shirts in the wake of the murder. White was ultimately convicted only of manslaughter.

Thrilled to find this memento of one of my all-time favorite poker memories: playing with William Rockwell at my first WSOP. William lost the use of his arms in a motorcycle accident and so learned to play poker with his foot! He also signed this photo with his foot.
