VIRGIN VIEWS

I have just returned from what might be described as a busmans holiday. When I take a vacation I spend a good part of my time on some- thing having to do with TVism. So it was with my trip.

Lots of readers enjoyed Diana's cover and travelogue stories in TVias #42 and 43 and I hope therefore that you'll find my chronicle equally interesting. So let's start at the beginning.

I left L.A. on Monday Aug. 7 and flew to San Francisco. I was picked up at the airport by my old friend Louise--the first TV I ever met 25 years ago. We had a lovely visit in her beautiful flat over- looking the city and then she took me to my hotel. That evening I was picked up by Crystal (our Cover Girl on #41) and another FPE and taken across the bay to a get together at the apartment of Karin (Cover Girl #43). We had quite an interesting group and I met several old subscribers and several new friends.

The following evening I had dinner with Dr. Ben- jamin which is always a pleasure for me. He is al- ways so polite and courtly and treats me as a lady should be treated. We had one of our usual discus- sions of the subject and swapped various ideas about it.

Wednesday morning I got aboard the Calif. Zephyr
