a more antagonistic one though there were four or five who stayed after- ward and talked seriously. Debbie drove me around Long Island to kill time and after dinner took me to JFK and I boarded an SAS 747 for Copenhagen. Only about 70-80 aboard so had full four seats to lie down in but still not much sleep and with the change of time, etc. I arrived pretty beaten up.
MONDAY, AUGUST 16 Changed planes in Copenhagen and pro- ceeded to Stockholm where I was met with open arms by my dear friend Annette FS-K-1 FPE our FPE rep. in Sweden and organizer of FPE-NE in Sweden. She has a little apartment in downtown Stockholm which she gave to me for the duration and I konked out for a three hour nap immediately.
TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY Driven around Stockholm and taken to dinner by Jane, one of my very good friends from the last trip. She had a party at her apartment with nine FPs present for a good evening.
THURSDAY — After a lovely luncheon with Maud and Dagmar (wife) at their beautiful apartment Annette had arranged a press conference at the Swedish Inst. for Sexual Research. As a result of this we had writeups in several large Swedish papers. That evening a dinner with several of the leaders of the Swedish group in a basement restaurant of an old 17th century building. Lots of atmosphere.
FRIDAY - Had a hair-do, went through the Historical Museum and that evening the Swedish girls had a banquet in my honor. As before, everytime I was thirsty (and lots of times when I wasn't) I had to catch someone's eye and drink a toast. The party was upstairs in a club for sexual minorities and our group had both dressed and man-attired FPs, wives and male and female straight friends. Afterwards many of us ad- journed to the ground floor where there was music and dancing. Every- thing was permissible in dancing, males with males, females with fe- males, one of each, two FPs both dressed, 2 FPs with one dressed and some of the straight men dancing with dressed FPs. It was a very inter- esting experience - just a lot of people being themselves, having a good time and no hang ups about who danced with whom. I danced with a FP in men's clothes, another FP girl, with a straight man, with his wife, and was asked by one of the gay boys. So we had a very fine time till the wee hours. Certainly an interesting contrast to the U.S.
SATURDAY
Again Jon drove me around for some last minute visits and errands and took me to a little place for dinner.
