RANSVESTIA

edition of the Aftonbladet, the largest paper in Denmark. On top of that, I had several evenings of conviviality with the Danish girls who are the most charming and helpful hostesses. Copenhagen is one of my favorite cities and I love being there so I enjoyed this repeat opportunity.

Later I flew to London, arriving in a drizzle. They now have a subway connection clear out to Heathrow and I came in on that but had to change to another line which with a suitcase, flight bag, purse and overcoat, was a bit of a job. A very nice gate keeper at the subway station left his post and carried my bag. for me to the hotel which was a couple of blocks away. There are real advantages to being a member of the "weaker" sex. I got in several visits with old friends, did some of the sightseeing I had missed on earlier visits and took in the Beaumont Society's annual banquet and reception. I was enabled to renew a lot of contacts from previous years and see old friends.

The following Tuesday it was off to Boston and transfer to the little puddle jumper plane that flies to Provincetown. Fantasia Fair was as interesting as ever. Lots of old friends and lots of new ones. Those of you who haven't been there might consider the journey in the future. Some of those who met me for the first time were somewhat surprised to find that I was a pretty ordinary sort of human after all and maybe even likeable. I had a good time, helped out on a couple of seminars and enjoyed a lot of renewed friendships.

I stayed over a night in Boston to participate in an evening seminar for the staff of the GI center and then it was off to New York. I unsuccessfully visited several publishers there, talked with a couple of lady psychologists who wanted a fill in on our subject, had dinner and a visit with Lee Brewster and then flew home on October 27th.

There was a mountain of mail and personal problems await- ing me which took several weeks to catch up on but I finally dug out. I want to thank all of you who sent me Christmas cards - I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I also want to offer special thanks to those of you who appreciated TVia issue 100 enough to send me some contributions towards its extra cost
