David and Arthur Thompson are two of the co-founders of the CSP. David died about a year before Arthur.

They were lovers, then they split and I lost track of David. Arthur kept in touch with me all the time up until he died. His last lover was the one who called and told me Arthur had passed. Arthur was down to see me about two months before he died and I didn't know he was that sick. I knew he had AIDS but I didn't think he was in the last stages.
