A memorial for Bill Dean

There's a memorial on Saturday afternoon at 2 for Bill Dean (aka "Sensitive Bill") under the Hare Krishna Tree in the center of Tompkins Square Park. 

Here's more information (thanks to Jimmy the Greek for this)... 

Known to his friends as "Sensitive Bill," Bill Dean passed away on Dec. 10 at age 60. The cause of death has not been determined. 

Dean was an activist with the Yippies in the 1980s, a 13th Street squatter and community gardener, Rainbow Gathering brother, photographer, and avid cyclist. 

In recent years, he had been living on the Upper West Side but often came down to Tompkins Square Park to hang with friends and attend local demonstrations. 

He is survived by an adult daughter in Sweden.
