Signing in on this year's "Wall of Fame" were:

Sharon Kane: (The first to sign in, as seen above.) A leading adult female performer in heterosexual videos for years, Miss Kane shifted to bi/gay video roles which have included numerous award-winning nonsexual appearances. Her extensive musical training and talent had resulted in hundreds of musical scores and performances throughout the industry and added additional awards to her collection.

Chuck Renslow: Owner and operator of Chris Studios in the late '60s and early '70s that produced erotic male nude books and 8mm all-male films. He is the founder and operator of International Mr. Leather (IML) who, also along with Ron Eheman, encouraged and helped Gay Chicago start the live Grabby shows here in Chicago.

Ron Eheman: Responsible for booking top porn stars on a regular basis here in Chicago for Man's Country's weekly show over the past decade. Also, the Editor of the very first Gay Chicago Magazine in 1976. In the past few years, under the name of Ron Mann, he has worked with Jeff Stryker (and other production companies) as a director and videographer.

Mike Donner: All Worlds Video director and promotion manager who got his start as a director here in Chicago with Bijou Studios.

Will Clark: His major humanitarian contributions through organizing fund-raisers and continuing support of promoting safer sex in video portrayals.
