Description

John Miele tells about he and his partner moving to Jackson County and opening a small business in Dillsboro. They became active with the Merchant's Association and active in politics on the town and county level and were welcomed in the community. They were present at the formation of Out in the Mountains and stayed involved with that organization for many years. Miele discusses losing his partner to an aneurysm. He also shares his comical and supportive coming-out-to-his-family story.
