Hi, I'm Jackie Hall. And I'm Betty Bentley. We hear so much about AIDS and its effect on victims, but what effect does it have on those who lose loved ones to this fatal virus? Today on City Line, we'll meet a mother whose son recently died of AIDS. We'll find out how her son's disease affected her relationship with her family and friends. How has she coped with the loss of her son and what kind of responsibility does she feel a family has to remember stricken with AIDS. A memorial fund has been established in the name of a communications pioneer. It's the Larry Dean Memorial Fund. I'm t mintier and today on News Corp. will explore the fund's objective jazz lovers front and center because today I'll be featuring the Manhattan Transfer, a jazz ensemble that has crossed over into mainstream music with phenomenal success. I'm Harold Anthony, and on today's show, I'll have this, plus updates on events happening all around town. Join Jacki and me as we talk to a mother whose son died of AIDS. My son died of AIDS. Up next on City Line. That afternoon. And thank you for being with us once again on City Life. You know, the AIDS epidemic is still of grave concern to the country. And up to now, we've heard so much about the victims of AIDS, the length of time that they suffer and how they get the disease and so forth. But not a lot has been said about the family members, those who lose loved ones to this this disease and what type of effect that it might have on that. With us today is a young woman we will call Barbara. Barbara has asked not to be identified because of the misconceptions that continue surrounding the disease called AIDS.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=60.64,192.58"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Barbara, I want to thank you for being with us. How long ago was it that your son died? About two months. Just two months. And let's make this clear. First of all, your son contracted the disease through a blood transfusion. Is that correct? How long ago was it detected? Yeah, I think it was in 85 when he first came down. On one day, he had a blood transfusion and he'd taken sick and we took him to Hopkins. And the doctors at that time, they didn't know what it what it was because he kept making tests and they said that he had a vase and I guess maybe a couple of weeks. And I kept going. We, you know, kept going back and everything when they really diagnosed as being AIDS. And he let me know. One of the doctors told me that somewhere within that time when he had blood transfusion, he picked up this virus. But, Barbara, what what was your first thought when you heard that he indeed had AIDS? What went through your mind? How did you feel? By me being a nurse. I had heard so much. I was frightened. And it hired me, inherited me for the simple reason I had heard so much about aid. And we had a hospital where I worked and they had some patient there and. I was always with this feeling like other parents. Oh, I hope nothing ever happens to my family. But when they told me this, I was stunned. And I guess I talked about I must have been about 15 doctors in that room where we were, where we were sitting. And so one of the doctors, he says, oh, well, how do you feel? I don't know. What do you expect me to say? So I told him, How do I feel? I'm hurt.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=193.36,353.13"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I'm sad. Did you ever at any point think that perhaps they had made a mistake and that it really wasn't AIDS at all during that period? Yes. Yes. But we kept going back to the hospital for tests and things like that. And each time it looked like it was getting worse. And they kept saying that that that's what it was. What was your son's reaction? Very hurt, young man. Very sad, very confused at that time because he would he had planned on going back to college. He was one of those young men that, you know, 24 years old. He had a lot to live for. He had so much he wanted to do. He was going to school for fashion. And he was once with the modeling group and things like that. So he had a lot of living to do. Okay. How about other family members? Who did you choose to tell? I kept this thing to myself for a long time. For a very long time. And I think my son told his brother and I told the rest of the family, but I never told my parents. You think they would not have understood because. No, they wouldn't. Because I figured they were older people and we would try to spare them as much as we could. So the only thing that I did tell them that he was very ill and he would be in and out of the hospital and and that he might not live. So they accepted that your son did die? Yes. Over what period of time from the time that you that he had the transfusion until the time that he died? What was that length of time?

He was a victim of AIDS in the sense that he received a blood transfusion. And as a result of that, he came down with the disease and he died. Robert, that's at the point that we stopped and we took a break. As you look back over it, what is it that helped you through the period and what were some of the thoughts that you had as you saw your son kind of dwindle away before you? But now I know I'm very bitter. I'm very bitter to the point where, you know. I try to figure out, one, what happened to him because. He had so much to live for. Such a fine young man. We give you his hard. And then I think about sometime I think about the the young kids out here that's hurting people, you know, And I say to myself, why not some of them? Why my son? But then again, I don't want to feel that way. I. I miss him. Underperform. I find myself looking for him to come home. Hey, he was my very best friend. You say you're bitter.

And he just how prevalent is the disease AIDS in terms of victims who get the virus through blood transfusion? Well, right now, that's less than 2%. Only a small amount of people, in fact, have actually gotten AIDS or the virus through blood transfusions. So the prevailing method is still through through still primarily through sexual intercourse and or by shooting a needle in your arm. That Barbara has told us that her son got it through transfusion and within a rather short time, a matter of months, really, he had died. How common is that as a result of getting the disease in the way that he did? Well, it is quite rare. The problem in in an instance with Barbara, there is an antibody test available and we would hope and we had hope so much that this test would of course, provide some type of assistance in letting us know whether or not that antibody was present. And it does now. But the unfortunate thing about this test is that it wasn't out until March of 1985. So anyone who perhaps had blood, who had a blood transfusion before March of 1985 is a potential risk, not a major risk. I don't want everybody running thinking all of a sudden they're in trouble because, again, the numbers that we're talking about is less than 2%. That's the problem, because the test wasn't available until March 1985. And if anybody had a blood transfusion before that time, just a small risk. And unfortunately, Barbara's son, perhaps of one of those people who was in that small number. Now, the other thing is it takes the antibody inside of the body 4 to 6 weeks to build. So if let's say someone should take this test between that 4 to 6 week period, then the question is, will the test be able to pick up antibody that haven't even formed yet? And that's the big question.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=1194.13,1319.71"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"It seems not probable at this moment. So basically the test is effective, but only after that six week period. Basically after that six week period an antibody has built up Now, once it has gotten into the is reserved blood. That antibody does get its time to build up and eventually it's detectable. So I think the problem in most instances with Bob Hassan was probably that it was after that before that in March 1985 period. What sorts of things are being done now in addition to the test to reduce that sort of risk, basically in terms of who is allowed and who is not allowed to voluntarily give blood? Well, we we automatically go specifically at risk groups. We don't want gay or bisexual men donating not only blood, but any kind of organs. We don't want people who shoot needles in their arms like drug abusers donating blood. And another more important point is we don't want people who are sexual partners of either someone who is gay or bisexual or someone who shoots needles in their arms, donating blood or body organs as well. Okay. You say you don't want gay or bisexual men to donate blood. How can you detect whether or not they are gay or bisexual? Well, the partners are. Well, we we we rely a lot on the honesty of the people involved. We can never tell if somebody is gay or bisexual. In fact, you know, with the AIDS cases in Maryland, 20% of them are married men. And they don't meet the stereotypes of someone whom we consider gay or bisexual, for that matter. So what we hope would happen, we have to rely on the honesty. But if that fails, the test doesn't tell us whether somebody is gay or straight.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=1320.88,1422.91"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"It will tell us whatever that person is into. We won't do that, but it will tell us whether or not they have antibody to the virus in their blood. There are some states who have actually made it a felony for known carriers of HIV AIDS virus to donate blood without acknowledging that fact. Do you foresee anything like that taking place in Maryland? No, I really don't. And I don't even think that it's perhaps an acceptable approach here in Maryland. I think that most of those states were acting out of panic and thought, well, we got to do something. And this was the route they chose. You know, when you were here before, you created quite a scare, really, in the black community, because before that time, many people were not aware of the large numbers of cases in the black community. And it scared them because a great many people approached us weeks and weeks and weeks after. At that time you said more than 55% of the cases were black. Mm hmm. That have been reported in the state of Maryland. Right. What is the situation now? Give us an update. Well, unfortunately, I can't say anything more positive than we still make up the majority of the AIDS cases. But I am now placed in a precarious position because I have to confront the people that I think are the best people who want to get my message out there that I need people to do certain things. And most of that is now going at the clergy so that it was a 55% rising number of cases then. What is the statistical history now? We still are at 55% numerically. We've increased. We're now at 200.

Do you have a question or comment? Yes, I do have a question. Ah, I would like to know how long does it take or how long you know, how just how long how can you contract or how just the you know, when you have this type of disease, what kind of diagnostics has taken to that, you know, and how long does it take for you to control the disease? Good question. I think the misconception that most people have is that AIDS is a diagnosis that's made by a blood test. Well, AIDS is a clinical diagnosis. What that means, Jacki and Betty, is that a doctor has to go through a series of tests, a battery of tests to determine whether or not someone has AIDS. It can't be determined by a blood test. And you can't even tell if somebody has AIDS by the symptoms just by looking at symptoms. You can't tell. You're just not feasible. It has to be a clinical diagnosis going to a battery of tests that tell the doctor if you do or do not have AIDS. Barbara, knowing what Eddie has said, does it make you feel any different in terms of your approach to friends and neighbors?

How involved were those tests that they administered to your son to detect that he did indeed have AIDS? How involved was was the testing process? Oh, it was a detailed was a very involved. Very involved. And just like all. He was home and I was carrying him back and forth to the to the hospital, like for his checkups and things like that. But a lot of the tests he had be confined to the hospital and like he was talking about a battery of tests, I guess they were doing everything, you know. Sometimes it was like tests they would do with his sputum as blood is due. They were checking everything to make sure that it was okay. And they really they when they really go through that, it was kind of they really they don't just tell the people they have it. They really find out everything about it. Okay. Thank you.

And family are putting people out. And we'll have to deal with that. And a lot of times we have to go and talk to mothers for the patient because mothers just don't understand enough about the disease. And and if we can win the mother, it tends that we can get the rest of the family around. But I think out of fear, not out of rejection of love, but out of fear.

But I have to say, you don't have to condone sex. But you got to say to these people who most of whom are coming from your churches, you're going to have to tell them how to have sex safely. How can a minister not condone sex? And yet at the same time say, you got to do it safely? But isn't a part of their coming around also that many of their own, their peers, the other ministers, are coming down with AIDS and dying of AIDS? I ain't telling. But isn't that the truth? That's the truth. In fact, a lot of the clergy are coming around because they're seeing more and more of their membership, ministers and ministers and some of their fellow clergymen coming down with some, you know, some of this illness.

We've made the most popular positive education advance that we've ever made since we've begun the whole education process in Baltimore. But but particularly in an instance such as was the case with Barbara's son, where the victim contracted the virus through a blood transfusion, I mean, how could the church condemn him for having the disease? Unfortunately, we get locked we get locked into this mentality that, you know, you know, God doesn't like it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=1965.4,2080.659"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"You are homosexual if you got AIDS.

Let's take another call from someone who wants information. Hi, you're on City Line. Do you have a question? Yes, I do. Hi. I have heard the rumor that even for the contact of touching someone, if they're crucified, you know, the perspiration, can you contact the disease that way? No, you can't. In fact, if I can be quite emphatic and very blunt about it, the only way you're going to get it is actually with both somebody on that chair and have sex with them or you share and shoot a need to take them in the closet and shoot a needle in the arm with them. All of these other stories and these these interesting ways of getting AIDS just don't hold up. You need to have sex. You need to share a needle with somebody. But Eddie, isn't that what we know right now and that that is not really conclusive? Well, it's pretty much quite conclusive. Now, for example, let's take this whole issue with spit or saliva. We know now that saliva is not a major way of transmitting this virus, which is what which was an original fear. We know that it's not now. You know, we've checked that we've cultured the virus out of everything we possibly can, and we were only able to find it, you know, primarily in semen and blood.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=2080.75,2171.95"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And people want to make themselves have AIDS.

Right now, there are a lot of antiviral drugs out there, a lot of drugs that are experimenting with the virus. We've even got some drugs that can manage and which seems to be the most promising. They can slow down the this whole process. It doesn't stop it. It just slow it down, which means that it's going to take a longer time for you to eventually die. So it's not even curing it's not curing it, but it is having some reaction. At first we weren't having any reactions at all. We were just experimenting and trying everything in the world. And you were feeling like kind of a human guinea pig. But now we are. At least because of that process, we are seeing some kind of progress and we is that hopeful? Honestly, doctors say no, it's just something that slows down the process. We expect the new estimate of a cure us around ten years from now.

We'll take a break right now and we'll come back with Tim. On to your in the news desk. Good afternoon. This week on News Corp., we veer away from our normal format to take a close up look at the establishment of a memorial fund in the name of a communications pioneer. The Larry Dean Memorial Fund was recently established to continue some of the commitments started by the dean. And joining me now to discuss the fund is Jonathan Compton, spokesman for the group Mr. Compton, or better known as Sir Johnny O. Thank you for joining us this afternoon. Tell us briefly, Mr. Compton, if you will, basically what the objective of the Larry Dean Memorial Fund is. What is it? Well, first of all, let me give you this moment here for inviting me in and offering the opportunity to express some of the concerns that lie ahead for the future, especially in the communications field with students and, of course, other communicators in the country at this particular time. The fund has been established to some concerned citizens in the area on the local and national basis.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=2268.62,2453.61"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"It's a nationwide effort with some of the very fine performers, recording artists, as well as the top communicators that we hear on our radio and television sets at this particular time. We are trying to go forth to carry out some of those concerns that the dean, as he was affectionately known to me, friends who were so close to him and his concerns. And we would like to carry those concerns out at this time. I understand that the fund has some very specific goals and some very specific objectives, such as the establishment of a communications scholarship for students, among other things. Could you share with us what some of those specifics are that the fund will be involved with? Yes, most definitely. So the first priority is the students, because as you might very well know, when the dean passed, he was last employed at Morgan State University. Of course, he taught journalism there, gave all the kids tidbits on communications. On a personal note as well, he tried to offer the other aspects of the business as far as the advertising, the engineering aspects of it. He, of course, prepared them to be good writers, so in case they would get employed as a news person at a newspaper that they could continue. The scholarship, of course, will reflect on that type of thing. The scholarship will be given to a communications student. Well, in some instances it will be communications students, but also a good student that would be pursuing engineering, a broadcast engineer, for instance, and that type of thing. It's you know, it's interesting, Mr. Compton, in speaking with those people who knew Larry Dean. They all seem to share a very personal story about the dean in terms of being it and motivated by Larry Dean in the communications industry.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=2454.51,2566.92"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/18","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And I understand that you yourself, you've known Larry Dean A you knew Larry King for 28 years, and he had a very serious commitment to communications. Did he not? Share with us your personal remembrances of Larry Dean? Well, I, of course, appreciate the opportunity of the time to speak in terms of Larry. Of course, knowing with my mentor and being Larry's protege, I've had an opportunity to share a lot of his thoughts. On a personal note, of course, we more or less looked at the football games on the weekends like most guys do get together do, sharing a few beers together. Although we have enjoyed a lot of things and in our conversations we have discussed across the business. And one time, as you well know, the guys do and that type of thing. Larry Dean started off as a deejay, and you also were a deejay, sir. Johnny O. If we all remember, for those of us who do remember. But Sir Johnny, you tell us, Larry, he was a fun guy, but he also had a very serious concern for deejays for the future. He felt as though they should get something from the fruits of their labor in terms of what kinds of things. Exactly right. Of course, this is a labor of love for me. And it was a labor of love for Larry in the struggle that we've had with various radio and television stations to assure that the communicators, when they are through with their booking, as we call it, in the as a job, working in radio or television, that we would secure benefits such as a retirement fund to be created. And of course we could take care of our families once we are away from the public eye, along with, of course, the regular life and health insurance so that we could feel secure and our families could feel secure in that as well.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252#t=2567.79,2665.47"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105491/file/206252/transcript/48901/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We wanted the youngsters as well as some of the fellow communicators to definitely receive those type of benefits because he felt that they were bringing something to the stations, being a numbers game, receiving radio ratings and of course communicating with the community and their messages on a public service level. And speaking to the dean's wife, Christine Dean, she informed me that Larry had been collecting information and data for years and that he was in the process of compiling a book on black movement in the communications industry. Well, the fun to be involved with carrying that book to. Next page. But first, I would like to say that Britain and of course, is the most dedicated individual to Larry and also to the community and his efforts in the community to take that one step further. I was involved in compiling all the data necessary to give the public all the information on the inner workings of the communications industry. This would be on Baltimore, of course, throughout the entire country. And in doing so, we prepared a life story, if you will. We decided to title this book The Day The First Black Pioneer of the broadcast Media. In closing, Mr. Cochran, we were quickly running out of time. I know that you briefly discussed with me this national tribute that you were putting together that should be occurring sometime in early May, and you've got some really impressive names connected with that tribute. And at the risk of being a bit premature, let's talk about some of the individuals you're trying to include in that effort.

They took their name from a novel by John Dos Passos about New York in the twenties. They soon broke up, and the only remaining member was Tim Hauser. The new Manhattan Transfer, formed in 1972 and soon became as popular as New York's cabaret circuit. Houser sang with the doo wop groups as a youth, and later he played in a folk rock band with Jim Croce. Alan Paul was a child actor who had appeared in Road Company productions of Oliver and Grace. Janis SIEGEL, who had recorded with the Young Generation, whose popularity peaked in the 1960s. Watts was a member of Low Massey. They released their Atlantic debut album in 1975 and immediately got a Summer TV network replacement series, which only lasted a few short weeks. But even with the nostalgic trend of the time, the band didn't sell well in this country. Although they had a number one hit in England and France with shots, they are more. In 1979, after Massey left and was replaced by Cheryl Benton, the band began to modernize its look and broaden its audience. Today, the group has found a winning combination of visuals and sounds that has made them one of the most sought after vocal jazz groups in the country with their smash hit Killer Joe. Here's the Manhattan Transfer. Of course, on pins and needles. Fans want to know why he's the killer and crack down on kids. So. Oh. And. We will. Check it out. And. It can't be. So your home.
