Ken Dawson
(? - ?) U.S.A.
Executive
In 1987, New Yorker Ken Dawson,who worked as the head of a group called Senior Action in a Gay Environment (SAGE), rescued a stranger who was drowning in the Hudson River. While Dawson was upfront about what he did for a living, the local media (which gave the story wide coverage) managed to exclude references to his occupation - except for one tabloid, which called him an "advocate for seniors."
