Nation IN BRIEF : FLORIDA : Parents OK Marriage of AIDS Victim, 14
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
AIDS victim Ricky Ray, 14, of Sarasota, Fla., plans to marry Wenonah Lindberg, 16, in December, and they have the support of their parents. His mother, Louise Ray, said some would see the situation as the “greatest love story of the century,” but others may see her as an irresponsible parent. Ricky and his two brothers, all hemophiliacs, contracted AIDS through blood transfusions. The family fled Arcadia, Fla., after its home was burned by arsonists.
