RANSVESTIA

Editorial when I feel in the mood. I will, however, be busy with some other projects a couple of books in another field, some traveling, a lot of university courses at UCLA, some lectures and a lot of reading. Reading is a pleasure that I have been denied too long because of the press of details in this business. Now I look forward to absorbing a bunch of books that I have had to pass by.

In closing may I extend my thanks to all of you for your sup- port over the years and for your contributions of materials suffi- cient to make Transvestia a viable operation. May I also take this last occasion to express my appreciation for your appreciation to those of you who have, over the years, thanked me for the magazine, the books, Tri-Sigma and for my attempts at individual counseling. It makes me feel very good about my efforts over these 20 years to know that I have had an impact on a great many lives - some minimal, just in the process of providing entertain- ment but, to others, a significant contribution to their life and happiness and, in many cases, to their marital relationships. It may sound like bragging for me to say this, but it isn't. I would count mine or any other life wasted if it could not provide some help and comfort to others who may be in need of it. Transvestia has given me the media to do that and it is very satisfying to me to know that I have been able to ease some of the stresses in the lives of others. May you, too, find a way to enjoy that feeling.

So now, I'll bow out and let Carol and Norma put their shoulders to the wheel and with your help I'm sure Transvestia will continue and be successful and helpful for a long time.

Faithfully,

-9.
