Jackson, Douglas McMaster

Douglas was a member of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus from May, 1988 until February, 1990 for a total of 6 concert seasons. He also participated in the historic 1981 National Tour of nine cities in the United States. The tour is credited with being the creative force behind the formation of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses which as of 2010 has more than 170 member choruses with over 7,000 singers worldwide. He last sang as a member of the Second Tenor section. The Chorus refers to these members who are no longer able to sing with the group as members of the "Fifth Section." They are listed Chorus programs and on the group's website: https://www.sfgmc.org/about_fifth.shtml

Douglas' name was the one I pulled for remembrance at the 2017 Holiday Concerts for SFGMC, of which he is now a member of our Fifth Section, our lost brothers.

I recall Douglas well from 1988. That year SFGMC celebrated our 10th Anniversary. Douglas stood next to me at that performance and our photo together appeared in the next day's issue of the S.F. Chronicle. I'll always remember you, Dear Douglas.
