(David Klowden commemorates a San Diego punk pioneer and AIDS activist.)
I was searching online for my former mentor, Renee Edgington, the founder of Shark Productions, who was responsible for creating so many cool shows in San Diego, and learned that she & her husband died in a car accident 10 years ago while vacationing in South Africa.
Anyone who attended a show at the North Park Lions Club between 1978 and 1981 has Renee to thank for making it happen.
I knew that she had been an AIDS activist in Los Angeles, but I didn’t know that she’d founded Clean Needles Now. Renee was a wonderful woman & I was deeply saddened to hear about this tragedy.
