- The JEAN-NICKOLAUS TRETTER COLLECTION IN GAY, LESBIAN, BISEXUAL AND
TRANSGENDER STUDIES was a point of Pride for America’s TWIN CITIES
during this year's commemoration of the Stonewall Rebellion.  The
Collection's "FORTY YEARS AFTER STONEWALL" exhibit featured just a
portion of the over 30,000 items housed at the University of Minnesota,
but it dramatized the importance of preserving the little things that
become the building blocks of a movement's history.  ERIC COLLEARY
served as Guest Curator for the exhibit.  He spoke with "This Way Out"
correspondents DIXIE TREICHEL and JOHN TOWNSEND ("Fresh Fruit" at
KFAI-FM/Minneapolis-St. Paul) about some of the Tretter gems in the
"Stonewall" celebration.

track and "Polka Casserole" from THE POLKANOMICS' "LOLA"), and a
