Dear all, It is too bad that there is not much academic literature about Wade Blank - he deserves so much recognition. Denver ADAPT may be where the legend began re: Atlantis, but I am quite not sure if the folks now there can provide first-hand history or memoriam about Wade Blank other than the two titans of ADAPT (who are no longer at the Denver ADAPT org) - Bob Kafka (the activist) and Tom Olin (the photographer who captures dis activism). Both have worked with Wade for years. I would strongly suggest you contact the two. They both are active members on facebook so I would send them a message there re: your specific inquiry.
