DEDICATION AWARD

FOR

 ONGOING DEDICATION TO PROTECTING, PRESERVING
AND PROMOTING EROTIC ART

Durk Dehner and Jim Neuman, 27th October, Palm Springs, California.

James Walter Neuman was born on the north side of Chicago, grew up in East LA and Whittier and attended USC. After college, he served as an officer in the U.S. Navy, and spent part of his active duty on ships stationed off Vietnam. After his release from active duty, he transitioned to the Navy Reserve.

Leather has always been in his genes and he is the longest surviving active member of the California B&B Corps. He is well known for his extensive uniform collection and perfection of the art of the “costume change”.

He has participated in countless fundraising events and regularly can be seen at functions in Palm Springs, San Francisco and Los Angeles as well as annual visits to MAL, IML and CLAW.

A world traveler, cowboy, car enthusiast, and music and theater aficionado, and notwithstanding his outgoing personality, is a quiet advocate, behind the scenes, of dozens of charities. His support as a philanthropist covers a broad spectrum of causes including Tom of Finland Foundation, where he is a Lifetime Benefactor and staunch proponent of our mission. We recognize him for acknowledging the Foundation’s service.
