began to edit the Femme Mirror, we increased it to 33% %. This was not ownership but simply a one third split of the net profits of Chevalier. This worked fine for awhile. Bob got married to a wonderful and understanding girl named Joyce who began to work for Chevalier too. After a year or so the marriage unhappily began to fall apart and Bob walked out of Chevalier leaving Joyce and I to run it, which we did. She became editor of the old Femme Mirror for a while and a friend to many a lonely TV who wrote in to us.

Late in 1962 there was a big "convention" of TVs in upstate New York at the old "Casa Susanna" run by our beloved columnist (Susanna Says . . .) and her very understanding wife. We had some- thing like 60 TVs from all over the country there, a dozen or so wives and a couple of psychologists. It was a most marvelous weekend and a historical one. The Foundation for Personality Expression was in- troduced to the group and its purposes and intentions spelled out to the crowd.

He persuaded himself that Joyce and I had conspired to deprive him of his "interest" in Chevalier. He therefore brought suit against us both and tried to have a receiver appointed for the purpose of scaring me regarding the mailing list, knowing how concerned I was about it and security. The day of the hearing on the receivership I made arrangements to have a trusted personal friend "steal" the files and sequester them away in case Bob's efforts were successful. It never came to that and the blackmail nature of the whole trial became clear when his own attorney told the judge that he had decided that, "receivership was not the proper remedy under the situation." The judge said he was glad to hear that because he was going to deny the petition anyway. A couple of weeks later Bob was supposed to appear for a deposition and he didn't show up. The judge then ordered him to appear for another hearing and he didn't come to that either and my motion to dismiss the suit entirely was granted. Bob knew that he had no grounds for his contention that he was a part owner of Chevalier and knew it could not be substanti- ated in court but he wished to frighten me and put me to a lot of ex- pense as well as embarrass his former wife Joyce. Of course he suc-
