Friday nite I took off for Atlanta and was met at the airport by Ann, our cover girl on TVia #34 and one of the other newer girls in the area. Ann gave me tour of Atlanta on the way to the Motel and I must say it's a bustling and interesting place. The radio program that Ann had arranged in Atlanta had been cancelled for reasons too complicated to go into here but Ann had arranged to take me out to the station anyway because the girl who was going to do the interview wanted to meet me anyway. So this woman, and her producer (another girl) Ann's brother and Virginia had a great discussion for a couple of hours with the end result that the girls interviewed me anyway on a small tape recorder with the idea of using the interview some time in the future when the situation that had caused the complication had been cleared up. They became vary fascinated too, not only with me and the subject but by Ann's brother who while there in the male flesh showed them pictures of Ann which they couldn't believe. It was fun and I've sure created a lot of good will and waves whether they ever use the tape or not. Incidentally the Barry Farber show out of N.Y. is syndicated to that station so maybe I'll get aired over it that way if not directly.
Sunday I flew to Miami by way of Jacksonville where I changed planes so that I had a couple of hours visit with Billie 9-B-2 FPE. He drove me around the country side a bit while we visited and compared notes. It's nice to see face to face those whom you have had communication with over the years, so it was enjoyable. In Miami I was met at the airport by Ruth 9-C-2 FPE and her sister so we three girls had a nice meeting, a drive thru the city to the sister's home and later in the evening a chance to meet Dorothy 9-S-5 FPE and Dee Dorothy Stern 9-L-2 FPE and her wife at a little party, at the home of Ruth's sister. I stayed with her and had a most enjoyable visit in a lovely home. Monday morning I paid a visit to Mary Kay 9-K-1 FPE who is confined to a wheel chair and so couldn't come to the party. She asked me to extend her greetings to everyone and to say that she would be more than happy to see any FPEs who are traveling to Miami.
