Transvestia

I returned home to my folks and brother and sister after a week in New York that was filled with joy and then great sadness as this was when Kennedy was killed. I quickly resumed my life and went back to work at the old job. I soon had a nice apartment of my own and new car and bought my first good wig.

It next became my goal to meet other TVs that I knew were nearby and it was an impatient time spent waiting until I qualified to use Contact. At last I had replies and met some wonderful girls and their GGs and life became good in contrast with my past.

Now, and for the past two and a half years, Crystal has a great part in all our activities. She has become a photographer and has many nice picture records of our happy times. We here in the Bay Area meet weekly for dressing and informal parties and if any FPE members passing through the Bay Area would like to meet with us and enjoy our good times,. I'm sure it could be arranged. You are all welcome.

Among the benefits of being a member of this active group aside from the good times, we learn more about ourselves through discussing our problems with each other, and thus get them off our chest. We've been honored by visits from Sheila, Anette from Sweden, and Dr. Benjamin. Just lately I met and marveled at Virginia whom I have come to admire. Our chapter is moving at last and we hope to help Virginia educate professional people as to our goals and aims and all this is a most rewarding thing in which to have a part.

I'm sure that I join most of you when I say we all owe a great debt to Virginia, Fran, Sheila, Susanna and others who have contributed to our self acceptance and better understanding. I can only try to help repay this debt by helping others who are still where I was not too long ago to feel that being a TV is a great joy. Much love to all and best wishes from a much happier Crystal.
