In honor of Jean’s request that any celebration of his life be a celebration of joy, please wear as much rainbow garb as you can. Drag queens and drag kings are encouraged to attend in full regalia. Together we will celebrate the joy Jean brought to the preservation of GLBT history, the past he most treasured!

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Jean-Nickolaus Tretter collection fund at the University of Minnesota. To learn more about the Tretter Collection, please visit the website.
