Well, I have rattled on much too long. I do hope you will find my letter interesting. As a new member, I'm not trying to change all of the wonderful things that you, Fran, Mary and the others have accom- plished. I'm simply presenting ideas that I feel are necessary for the future success of TRANSVESTIA. If you print this, possibly it will stir some of the other gals to comments on my thoughts and supply some of their own. To close I will give my personal history of interests as I suggested all the girls should do.

My name is Page Drew, I'm 26 years of age. My brother has been in the Marine Corps as an officer with an honorable discharge for a bad leg. I have a GG friend of over one year who knows and understands my situation. She accepts me, and is completely secure with this informa- tion. I have an average income. I am in a position at the present time which does not allow me to dress full time. I have a good knowledge of football and enjoy watching it very much. I suppose this interest came from my brother, who loves it. I don't believe in getting drunk, al- though I don't condemn those who do. I enjoy bourbon and water, beer, vodka and most all mixed drinks. I love to water ski, and would love to try snow skiing some time. I like playing bridge, going to a club dancing, wearing mod clothes, listening to Elvis, watching movies with Steve McQueen and Claudia Cardinale, and buying feminine articles. Wear- ing modern fashions and make-up styles thrill me, but I still remain fairly conservative, not too far out! I don't wish to act in a manner that would bring trouble to my sisters or any FP's, but I am willing to fight publicly if necessary for our rights or for one of the girls who might need assistance. I have no interests in sewing, so I don't make any of my own clothes. I am an FP, and nothing else, I have no interest in a sex change. I am still considering electrolysis, and possibly my own breasts some day. I live in an apartment complex that offers no security, but I will be moving to a house in a quiet area in the next month or so. I have no mail security problems. I desire very strongly to be able to come and go as I please in the outside world. If I find that I'm not acceptable, then I will continue to do whatever I can to help arrange get togethers with other FP's. My GG tells me that I am acceptable, and with a little more work on Page, she will have no problems. I am very interested in con- tact with other FP's, as I have been alone for 26 years and I'm ready to make some lifetime friendships. As for the appearance of Page, she is 5'6", 150 lbs. and on a diet, med. complexion, with a presently 39-30-41 frame.

Sincerely,

Page 36-S-1 FPE
