taken to dinner. Lots of good conversation and food. Next morning over to Bloomington, Indiana to the Institute of Sex Research (Kinsey) to talk with them about some projects I had in mind. Got dragooned into several staff interviews and four seminars that day and the next. Then the night plane to Indianapolis to be ready to do WLWI-TV the following morning. That went off fine. From there to Detroit to spend the weekend with our wonderful friends Joyce and Maryann (GG). Five or six of the other girls in the area dropped in at various times for visits, counselling, discussions, etc. We had a mad time putting together a circular jig saw puzzle.
Sunday I flew to Pittsburg and then to Harrisburg, Pa., to stay over- night with Lillie and wife 38-H-FPE in their beautiful home. It was snowing all the way from the airport which was kind of fun for a little California chick like me. That was a most pleasant evening full of a lot of questioning, philosophising and speculating as TV sessions usually are. Next day, Monday, December 8th, they took me back to the airport and I flew to Philadelphia. I had three days to kill before being due in Pittsburg and decided to use them in absorbing some American history in Philly. So the next day, like a good little tourist, I took the Greyline and checked out the Liberty Bell, Congress Hall and all the historical sites.
I also stood out in a cold service station telephone booth (for privacy) while I called about every radio and TV station in town. I finally landed an interview on WPEN radio on the Frank Ford show the following night and an appearance on the Jack McKinney show for the following Monday, planning to come back from Cleveland to do it. They agreed to foot the bill for the extra flying fare. Also had a get-together with six or seven of the girls in the Philly area in my hotel room. It's nice to meet face to face people whom you've only known as names or pictures. We had a nice meeting.
Wednesday evening took off for Pittsburg hoping to meet some of the girls in that area, but the weather was not so good and we were de- layed leaving Philly so I got to the hotel too late to make connections which was too bad. The next morning I met Dr. Wellman, my psychia- trist friend from New York and companion on various other shows over the years, and we went to KDKA-TV for our interview. I hadn't even been told that he was going to be there so it was a pleasant sur- prise. The interview went fine and then he and I sat in the lobby for sometime while he taped on a portable recorder some of my ideas about the transexual bit. Then as we were standing in front of the hotel
