would be shown. The Thetas are a grand group of un- usual perception; intelligent, literate and with a whole- some attitude about life. I have learned so much these past few months and I'm dismayed at having lacked the wisdom to understand before. Dear God, how can there be anything wrong in FP when all it does is to generate an ardent desire to be better. This I do know, FPE and Theta have enriched my life immeasurable by their honesty in recognizing me as a complex human being and because of their efforts to resolve my FP life.

Our other associate member guest wrote about her entire visit to Theta, so here is her view of the day's events:

I drove through a grove of oaks to the meeting place, a lovely home set on the brow of a low hill. Questions were racing through my mind; Who was there? What were they like? What were there wives like who under- stood their husbands TV desires? Doris had not dressed for this meeting because of lack of nerve, and now with those questions flying through my head I throttled the impluse to turn and run and rang the bell.

Fran's wife welcomed me in and escorted me to a living room whose windows overlooked the beautiful valley below. Within the room however, although I knew better, the impression was that I had walked into a mo- dern ladies aid meeting, a woman's civic committee meeting, or an afternoon bridge club before the card playing had started. There was one difference, I could sense and I knew that I was being welcomed into the hearts and very souls of these people.

I was first introduced to Fran who then introduced me to the others. I sat down and began leafing through the Theta scrapbook and conversation resumed. It was normal afternoon conversation; who was babysitting the kids, when they had to be picked up, I think your dress is very attractive, what brand of make-up do you use, etc.

The discussions were at a relatively high level and yet they were all down to earth, normal people, "normal as apple pie" that is unless your apple pie has to be made
