J.J. Newman

Gay WIsconsin at the Pageant in Milwaukee in November, 1989, serving until the crown was transferred in November, 1990. A former Marine sergeant, J.J. was described in contemporary articles as seemingly shy person, with a sunny smile, and a charming, reticent quality about him- especially when it comes to talking about himself. He was a wonderfully multi-talented artist, proficient with the alto sax, the flute, the clarinet as well as the piano.

He was a professional dancer, had broadcast and theatrical experience, a church organist and a sales rep for a publisher. J.J.Pageant titles include: Mr. Gay Wisconsin 1989-90 (1989-90) at Marc Plaza.
