RANSVESTIA

my happier days came the day I received my membership card.

When I returned to the U.S. I was able to talk to Phylis' brother for about an hour in San Francisco. Then after arrival in Georgia I was able to meet with Ann 10-M-2 and had quite a long chat with her brotheṛ. Also during this talk my wife was able to ask Ann's brother many things concerning FPE and TVs in general. I believe that he cleared up quite a few things for her. Since that time she has been more understanding, it seems, toward April. A while atter meeting Ann's brother we received an invitation to attend a TV party in Atlanta, but due to financial reasons we were unable to attend.

Ann wrote me later to introduce me to Lisa 6-M-2, who had moved into my area from out of state. One sunday in December my wife and I were lazing around the house doing nothing (after all, it was raining) when the door bell rang. I looked out the window and could not recog- nize the car. I told my wife that I would see who it was and be right back (we were watching television). A young man stood at the door. He introduced himself and asked if I was so and so. I answered that I was, and he said that he was Lisa and Ann wrote him about me. Let me explain that I had written Lisa before this and told him to write me or to call me and to be sure and visit me sometime. I invited him in and we began to chat. Later my wife came out and fixed some cokes for all of us and we sat around and talked for 3 or 4 hours. We agreed to get together sometime as Lisa and April. The next week or so I repaid the visit, as my brother, because I wasn't sure how Lisa's wife would react. However, she was very charming and seems to understand trans- vestism pretty well.

Not long after this we girls did get together. One Friday night Lisa and her wife came by the house and we took pictures and gossiped about different things. Later my wife and I repaid the visit. Let me say that Lisa has one of the sweetest little boys that I have ever met. Natur- ally this was a hen party. On occasions Lisa and April have gotten together but not as much as we would like to. Several times we have talked about trying to organize something in our area but it seems that we never have the time.

At the present I am stationed in California and have been away from my wife for 5 months. During this time I have been unable to let April express herself except through one or two letters to Virginia and Lisa. However, by the time this story is printed my wife and I will be together again and I will be stationed somewhere in Africa.
