The next day, Tuesday, June 29, I made arrangements to drive the 135 miles to Lehigh Acres to Joan's, (9-B-4), house. After work, brother drove me there.

Joan's brother and GG, were waiting for me when I arrived, at about 9:00 p.m. They had a room all prepared for me, so that I could spend the night.

Joan and I dressed, while her GG prepared coffee, cocktails and late snacks for us. We sat around their lovely house and talked for hours. I had some old copies of "TVia" and we discussed the change in format and fashions through the years.

Joan signed the petition, gave her vote for officers, and came up with the wonderful name for our chapter, "Sigma Phi." This was agreed on later by all of us. "Sigma Phi" are the Greek letters S & F, so natu- rally, down here they stand for Sunny Florida.

From Joan's house, I called Candiece, 9-F-1, and Donna, 9-W-2, to arrange meetings for Wednesday, June 30. Donna said that she would notify Heather 7-D-3, who lives in her area, and make motel reservations for me in Cocoa Beach. This is near the towns they live in.

The rest of Tuesday evening was spent taking pictures of Joan and her GG and myself. We even shot a short movie of Joan, playing Princess Charming and her wife, as Cinderella. Joan and I got into a fun pillow fight, and her GG took it all in, on movie film.

But, it was getting late, and as I had a lot of driving to do the next day, we reluctantly retired for the night. We had a very enjoyable evening, but all good things must come to an end.

Early in the morning, Wednesday, June 30, I awoke and changed into Brother, while Joan's brother fixed me a delicious breakfast. Joan's GG made me a gift of two beautiful cocktail rings, and gave me birth- stone rings for my GG and daughter. They are both marvelous people.

Brother packed up, left, and drove the 120 miles to Pinella Park, just north of St. Petersburg. The meeting with Candiece was to take place at the Holiday Inn North, in the dining room, as Candiece's brother was on his lunch break.
