AIDS Quilt Creator Drops Suit
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/09/090805quiltSuit.htm

The foundation that cares for the AIDS Memorial Quilt has announced that the group has settled a lawsuit with the man who created the quilt and later claimed he was wrongly fired.

Cleve Jones, who in 1987 stitched the first square of what became an international symbol of the human toll of AIDS, sued the Atlanta-based Names Project Foundation last year. He said he was fired after complaining that the quilt was not being displayed as prominently as it should be.

Earlier this year, Superior Court judges in San Francisco threw out the wrongful firing and breach of contract portions of Jones' suit.
