Transvestia

by train to Quebec for a day and a half and back by air. My Quebec friends may be unhappy but I didn't find the city worth the trouble of going there ex- cept for a bit of rest. You can see about all there is of importance in one day easy. It is not nearly

as interesting a city as Montreal although it is older and more historical.

From Quebec back to Montreal by air and change for a flight to Boston. No trouble at all with cus- toms. By this time I had a going case of laryngitis which I'd had for 2 days (and still have the remains of as I write this two weeks later.) It was kind of ironical too. So many TVs who haven't found a sat- isfactory femme-voice feign laryngitis to explain their masculine voice and here I was with an adequate femme-voice and actually having laryngitis so I still sounded like Charles. I "did" Boston, Lexington and Concord by foot, by Greyline bus and by the courtesy of Maxine 21-G-1 and another friend from Conn. who met me at the airport. We also had a nice meeting of some of the members from the Boston-Conn. area (see picture).

Finally came the Friday before Labor Day and I took off for New York so that I could go up to Sus- anna's Resort over the long weekend. If you think it is annoying as a man to try to catch a taxi dur- ing a busy period try it as a woman with 3 bags in front of Grand Central Station about 6:30 PM on a Friday nite. It took me 45 minutes to get one and finally I had to leave the bags and walk a block away to another street, flag one down and have him drive back for the bags. I think he thought I was some kind of a nut. I went to Susanna's apartment, met some of the rest of the gang and later we drove to the resort.

We had a small crowd but a congenial one and the country was well represented, Seattle, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Montreal were represented as well as the local N.Y N.J. area. We had a good time,
