EULOGY TO CONNIE (33-B-FPE)

Connie is gone. Her brother dead

ashes

scattered at sea by inti- mate friends with whom he frequently went sailing a love by him second only to his femme-per- sonation. Succumbing at 49 years of age - death due to complications following

major lung

surgery

a relatively

short, but very full, life.

I had only known Connie for a short six months but great was my love and admiration for her. She was my first intimate contact with the FP world, and she helped me tremendously to see myself in a better light.

Connie was attractive, yet not beautiful — but her spirit and attitude were ravishing - touching all immediately when they met her. The leopard-skin dress, the ankle-strap shoes, the hints of masculine hairiness still showing, and occasionally even a sideburn peeking out that was Con- nie but so nice, feminine, charming, and complimentary. A comment of hers at our last meeting that I remember well, "It's not so much how you look but the frame of mind you have."

Glad I am that I knew her. She was a truly wonderful guy and gal. Connie is gone but her spirit lives.
