Supervisors on Tuesday approved a non-binding resolution urging the Navy to name a ship after slain supervisor and gay rights activist Harvey Milk. Supervisor John Avalos told the San Francisco Chronicle ( http://bit.ly/MIq4dT) that before voting, he believes he made contact with Milks spirit and that Milk spelled out letters indicating: "Good riddance to dont ask, dont tell." The quip made national news as an example of San Francisco wackiness. Avalos now says he was just kidding and the closest hes gotten to the occult is reading all the "Harry Potter" books. ___ Information from: San Francisco Chronicle, http://www.sfgate.com (Copyright 2012 The Associated Press.
