Killacky, co-editor, with Bob Guter, of the anthology "Queer Crips: Disabled Gay Men and their Stories," would attend the release event for the book with local contributors, at San Francisco Public Library's main branch.

Then a respected arts administrator in San Francisco, Killacky, a former dancer turned administrator for pioneering post-modern choreographers Tricia Brown and Laura Dean, went on to work in the arts field for years before moving to Vermont, where he's now a state legislator.
