#Darcelle was a legend and I think it’s great that #Portland has found a way to honor her memory.

The New York Times - Walter Cole, Who Dazzled as Darcelle, the World’s Oldest Drag Performer, Dies at 92

My first #drag show was at #Darcelle's in 1977. Did I see #WalterCole? I don't remember. It was dark. We were drinking. He didn't say his name. #PDX #gaybars #1970s

About 30 years ago, Portland drag icon #Darcelle starred in a prize-winning one-person show written and produced by local impresario Don Horn, where Darcelle portrayed Divine. Horn published this companion paper doll book to complement the show.

"As the push for LGBTQ rights gained steam, Darcelle became an 'ambassador' to the straight community, and for decades she was known for her charitable work."

Associated Press - Darcelle, world's oldest working drag queen, dies at 92

I’m just catching up to the news that Portland’s absolute legend #Darcelle has left this existence. The world has become a little less sparkly. #DragIsArt

I hope that I will still be calling out homophobes and raising half as much hell at 92 as she did.

Knew a Vietnam veteran who told the typical Walter Cole story.

As a young soldier, he was broke as a joke and wandering around downtown with his girlfriend before having to leave for the war in the morning.

Walter struck up a conversation, treated them to ice cream, and invited the couple to cut a rug in his bar. Of course, they paid for nothing that night, and had the time of their lives.

We were blessed beyond measure to have this compassionate person in our community.
