color. I am certain because I often wear the same identical hose. He was obviously quite open about it he let a moccasin slip down off his foot a little and stroked his ankle and heel, obviously enjoying the sensuous feeling. How I wished that I could have started up a conversation with him. Anyway, dis- cretion and considerations of other's feelings cautioned me to mind my own affairs. But, how I envied his calm nonchalance in openly wearing his nylons and I day dreamed and speculated as to the nature of his other underthings. I come to California on occasion and would like to meet you. My main reason is that I have NEVER before visited or talked with another such as myself and have never had the opportunity to be at ease in this role with another person. (Marjorie, Canada)

Dear Carol: Thanks for sending along TVIA No. 101. I am thoroughly impressed with it. It has a fresh new look and a nice variety of content. The new logo is very attractive. This should improve our readership and increase awareness among the mem bership. Congratulations on a fine issue.

Imagine my surprise when I opend that issue of TVIA to find that you had published a piece which I wrote 15 years ago and sent Virginia anonymously or under the name of Sharon Anne. The piece I am referring to is on page 54, entitled "An Exciting Adventure." It is indeed a true story, an account of my first foray out into the public dressed. I have vivid memories of that time. It was in the spring of 1965. I was living in Over- land Park, Kansas and finishing my last year in law school. At the time I had been married less than a year and had just discovered that my wive's clothing fit reasonably well. I was studying for the bar exam and my wife went to visit with her family in Missouri. The idea was that I would have the whole apartment to myself and get more studying done. She was away for two days and while I did get some studying done, I also did a lot of crossdressing.

It was during this two day period that I wrote the account and mailed it to Virginia. The PLaza shopping area referred to in the story is the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mis- souri. The other shopping mall is at State Line Road and Ward Parkway. I can't tell you of all the tender memories which this little story brought back to me. It must have been burried all these years in Virginia's files. Thanks for publishing it. Sharon Stuart (N.Y.)
