TVs and TSS in S.F. Later walking across Market Street someone called, "Hello Virginia." I looked around and saw no familiar face, but the cop on the intersection was walking toward me with a smile. "I saw you on television this morning," he said. So policeman and Virginia stood on the corner and talked for about 15 minutes. "A policeman's life is not a happy one," the operetta says. Hope I cheered him up. Had dinner with Dr. Benjamin-the principle reason I went to S.F. because he would not be back in N.Y. till after I'd passed through and didn't think he would come to L.A. this year. (He did however and he attended an Alpha FPE meeting in Sept. to everyones pleas- ure).

June 21. Driven to a home on the north side of S.F. bay where the S.F. chapter (Epsilon) was having a meeting. Spent lovely and inter- esting afternoon and evening with the group. Also got in an airplane ride around the area as Joan, the president, had flown up. She let me do some "flying" about. Much fun.

June 22. Driven to airport by a TV and wife to do a little counsel- ing with the wife on the way. Breakfast with them at the airport and then off to Salt Lake City. Met by Helen 44-C-2FPE who drove me to the hotel and we had a combination visit and counseling session.

June 23. Plane to Minneapolis. Plane was late and Sally 23-W-1 FPE who met me had to stop at a gas station to allow me to change in the women's room from travel clothes to something appropriate to give a seminar in to the Psychiatry Dept. of the Univ. Minn. This was the second time that Dr. Hastings had asked me to talk to his depart- ment. They have had a Gender Identity Clinic there too and done their allotted 25 operations. They will now sit back and evaluate the sociological and psychological results of the surgery over a 5 or 10 year period. I understand this is what John Hopkins is now doing too. Was supposed to meet "Dear Abby" at the seminar as she is a friend of Dr. Hastings but she was called to S.F. Sent a note of regret and promised to meet with me in L.A. later. Back to the hotel and met with 4 TVs and wives that evening. Pleasant discussion of usual sub- jects.

June 24. Had dinner with my first wife and sister-discussion about our son, TV and other things. Not the first time but always interesting. I'm a better looking woman than she is by now-somewhat of a be- lated triumph. Taxi to Sheraton Ritz to do an interview on KSTP radio, nothing very outstanding except it was done in one of the hotels special dining and drinking rooms with an audience.
