European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 4, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 20 a the stars and stripes tuesday february 4, 1992 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i was appalled by your response to the Mother who wanted to know if she was justified in excluding her daughters lesbian partner from the family photo. Your statement that a live in partners whether straight or Gay do not qualify no matter How Long they have been together Quot was outrageous. The message you Are sending Gays and lesbians is that they Don t count. Id like you to know that we do count. We function Tike families. We pay taxes and Lead fulfilling lives which is More than can be said for Many straight couples. That column was enormously damaging to a great Many people who expected better from you. Get a grip Ann Scott . Dear Scott and the thousands of others who wrote to protest my answer please go Back and read that column. You will see that the Mother who wrote said the photo was being taken for the purpose of recording the family genealogy. Since i am not an authority on genealogy i checked with someone who is. Robert sheets president of the american archives association said a Legal marriage is required for genealogical purposes unless the state recognizes common Law that response to my Way of thinking meant that live in lovers Gay or straight should not be included in pictures taken for the purpose of recording family genealogy. My personal opinion is that they should be in today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby you advised a no name or City to Send a gracious thank you note for a set of used Luggage received from a relative at christmastime Why should such Boorish behaviour be rewarded with a gracious note and Why would cleaning up the Luggage Interior make it any More acceptable close relatives gave me a flawed picture Frame for an anniversary whose invitation stated a no gifts the store had a one year return policy and when i attempted to Exchange the Frame for another size store records showed that it had been purchased several years before. The management pointed to further evidence of damage and proof of use. I was humiliated Hurt and very angry. After much deliberation i simply informed my relatives that due to the original Purchase Date the Frame could not be exchanged. Their response Quot too bad you waited so Long to return fed up in Fullerton Calif. Dear fed up who among us is so pure that he or she has not sent quibble of Kevin this a voor area of in la a our turf that of Toutin belongs to w.1 Tom Lei Ai a ram get through Woefle.

Imm eluded in family photos but when it comes to genealogical matters i feel i have an obligation to listen to the authorities in be asked for advice. Dear Ann Landers every time i read a letter in your column from a woman who is involved with a married Man your response is a dump the while Many married men who cheat on their wives Are unconscionable philanderer has it Ever occurred to you that some of us find ourselves locked into Rotten miserable marriages we simply can to get out of for legitimate reasons a husband who would never have thought of cheating finds himself with two alternatives a find love elsewhere or live without female companionship. If he meets a woman who would be compatible and he is honest about being married she will Back off. The woman either thinks he is lying about the sad state of his marriage or she has read too Many of your columns. Consequently the a a Louse who Longs for Friendship companionship and love not just sex does t have Many options. He can keep his married status to himself he can pick up a tramp with whom he has very Little in common or he can live a life without love while he is miserable. Locked in a Loveless marriage dear locked put that show on the Road Buster. What a wrong with being honest with your wife if the marriage is a totally Rotten and miserable for you it can to be very Good for her. A Man who wants the comforts of Home and the fun of playing around on the outside gets no Green Light from me. C creators Syndicate a recycled gift a time or two i still maintain that a set of matched Luggage a though previously owned a is quite a splendid gift. Read on for a letter from a Judy a who shares my View of recycled gifts dear Abby one of the Best gifts i Ever received was a Wallet from my 90-year-old aunt a a wonderful lady named Nellie Bennett of san Diego. It appeared new but i did find a few things inside that she had apparently overlooked. I pictured this wonderful old lady in poor health unable to shop and possibly Short on funds emptying her Only Wallet to Send to her Niece with great love. She is gone now but that Wallet will always remind me of her love for me and mine for her. If one is not Able to shop or to afford a gift there can be no greater gift than to take something of one s own and give it to another with love. 1 Hope the recipient of that set of Luggage reconsiders and realizes that someone sacrificed the Luggage out of love and generosity a not to get rid of an old castoffs.
