I didn't quite know how to tell Kimie about June at the time. So I took the cowards way and said nothing until we were returned to the U.S. and I was discharged from the Army. I told her everything about me when we were settled in our apartment in the San Gabriel Valley. She was not very understanding and says to this day that she doesn't want to see me dressed because just the thought of a man in a dress makes her sick. However, we are very happy and we have two beautiful daughters now, so I dress whenever I am alone.
My work has taken me to many parts of the west coast and now I am at a rather isolated Navy installation. I get a chance to dress more now than before, but I must be very careful that no one sees me. The Navy is not very understanding about such things.
June feels quite strongly that she is hurting no one with her imper- sonation. She says "I am a man and I wear dresses, so what." I have talked to many people about the subject and they seem about equally divided between accepting someone for what they are rather than what they wear. Some people equate TV with homosexual.
Virginia, you have done more for our group than anyone. I feel that I owe you a great debt for letting me know that there are others as I am. The feeling of lonesomeness is, as you know, overpowering. You, Virginia, have lifted that feeling from all of us. For this I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

TV MOMENTS IN ADVERTISING
There's something different about a man who shops in a ladies shoe store
For one thing, he's a man who has a mind of his own. And for another, he's inter-
ested in finding the ulti-
S
mate in fashion design where ever that may be. That's why we added a new men's department. You'll see the boldest de- signer's collection of shoes
Hollywood
and boots ever assembled. What's so bad about being a little different...if it keeps you a step ahead.
