Long-time ATCA member Randy Gener, 2008 winner of the George Jean Nathan Award, was assaulted at midtown Manhattan on Jan. 17 and taken to a hospital where he had brain surgery. A LGBT activist, Randy may have been victim of a hate crime. A free-lancer, Randy had no health insurance: fund-raising is underway. There will be a candlelight vigil in Manhattan at 7^th and 53^rd this evening (Sunday, Jan. 26) at 6 pm. All ATCA grieves.

Randy’s sister is posting current information on his Facebook page.
