The builders
Modesto Tico Valle
Executive director, Center on Halsted
The cutting of fabric has become a symbolic journey in the life of Old Town native–turned–AIDS/HIV activist Valle. When Valle saw firsthand the panoply of lives cut and stitched together to form the AIDS Quilt in 1987 in Washington, D.C., he decided to devote his life to activism. Twenty years later, in June 2007, he came full circle as he cut the ribbon to open the new Center on Halsted, which, according to Valle, is the most comprehensive, not to mention the most ecofriendly, LGBT community center in the country. When not in Boystown, Valle enjoys hanging out at Navy Pier. “It speaks to the beauty of Chicago and [of] friends and families coming together for food, tours, music and beer.”—Jason A. Heidemann
