F. David Kerner
F. David Kcmer, FIBD, age 39, died
Monday, July 5, 1993, of complications
from AIDS. David had been active for years
in the local and national interior design com
munity. He formed Whytc-Kcmcr Environ
mental Graphics and Design with Robbie
Whyic-Picrcc in 1988. David was national
president of the Institute of Business De
signers in 1991/1992, and was a fellow of
the organization. He was the IBD represen
tative to the Unified Voice Task Force,
which seeks to unify all interior design pro
fessional organizations by 1995.
David is survived by his partner of eight
years, A. Richard Bunn of Atlanta, and fam
ily members including his mother Betty C.
Hancock, stepfather Lamar Hancock, sister
Kelly Kcmer Amick and brother Paul
Hancock, all of Longview, Texas.
David’s extensive charity work included
the founding committee of Heartstrings, a
project of DIFFA (Design Industries Foun
dation For AIDS). He helped organize
“Heartstrings, an Evening of Hope for the
Healing of AIDS" in 1986, and
“Heartstrings, a Revival” in 1987.
Heartstrings raised AIDS awareness both
in Atlanta and the nation. These events have
raised millions of dollars for education, pre
vention, care and development of treatments
for AIDS.
David also helped organize the SADD
Olympics, a fund raising event sponsored
by the IBD Georgia Chapter, which raised
money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro
Atlanta. He established the Interior Design
Intern Scholarship Fund which has raised
over $100,000 for the creation of a National
Interior Design Internship Program. David
also served on the board of the Peachtree
Arts Committee of the High Museum of
Art.
David was educated at Troy Slate Uni
versity, receiving a B.S. degree in Graphic
Design in 1975, and at Auburn University,
receiving a B.S. in Architecture in 1983.
David was listed in the 1990/1991 Inter
national Edition of Barron’s “Who’s Who
in Interior Design.”
David will be remembered by his many
friends for his warm sense of humor, his
collection of Southern memorabilia and his
legendary Halloween costumes and Christ
mas cards. Gifts may be made to the

morial Quilt), 310 Townsend Street, San

AIDS at the Crossroads
Continued from page 15
place.
The idea is to bring together top scien
tists from a variety of disciplines to do both
pathogenesis research and testing of poten
tial treatments. The scientists involved
would be required to have no connections
with drug companies or other outside inter
ests that might cause a conflict of interest,
and any cure or treatment developed would
be made available to those in need without
financial gain.
It’s a daring, radical idea, one that would
send shock waves through every area of
medical research in this country. But it’s
the only way to get off the treadmill we’re
on right now.
We’ve had a lot of disappointments al
ready, Mr. President, from your pathetic
wimp-out on the HIV immigration ban to
the excruciatingly slow choice of what seems
to be a lackluster choice for AIDS Coordi
nator. But if you go ahead with this—and
by that I mean really fight for it, not just
propose it and let it die—I for one will
willingly forgive everything else.
Thanks for considering this. Sorry for
being kind of brief and sketchy. Obviously
this is a complicated subject and there is
much more to be said, but I just don’t have
the lime right now.
I have a funeral to go to.
