Bettie
Thoughts: I first saw her pix in magazines when I was a boy
and thought she was so very beautiful. It probably imprinted
on me because she was the type of woman I wanted. Later, when
I met my wife, I'm sure I was initally attracted to her because
there were aspects (although they dont look alike) that reminded
me subconsciously of my boyhood infatuation... that was nearly
35 years ago! I've exchanged mail, Christmas cards mainly, with
Bettie Page and she has said some very nice things about my
historical biography books. She was also delighted when I told
her of the connection to meeting my wife. She will endure as
long as those of us who are her fans and devotees are here to
remember her. She is a wonderful person and we have her to thank
for much of the liberation from the unreasonable, irrational
sexual public taboos of the past.
