Everything must have a beginning, so they say. I cannot exactly say when Marie came into my life. (See letter to editor page 55 in TVia #22, 1963). I am certain in my own mind that she made herself known and became a living part of my person in April of 1955 when I was 31 years old.

This particular day, I had finished my breakfast and then went into the bedroom to dress. I removed my robe, then seeing some of my wife's clothes laying over a chair thought just for a lark it would be fun to wear a pair of her panties instead of my usual shorts for the day. Why I had such an idea I do not know. All I know is that the thought occurred to me, so I opened the drawer of her dresser and removed a pair of lace trimmed pink panties and step- ped into them. It was a delightful feeling as they were so light and smooth. It was such fun that I decided right then to go all the way and dress up completely as a woman. My wife and I are about the same size so there was no trouble in wearing her clothes except for my broader shoulders which I ad- mit did strain the clothes some.
