European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - March 5, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 16 the stars and stripes Friday March 5,1993 marriage can be dear Ann Landers i d like to comment on that letter from Quot Dixie a the 27yearold schoolteacher who had been married for 15 months to Quot Vernon a age 28. They had vet to consummate their marriage. For those who thought that letter was from Yale let me share a bit of family history. More than 50 years ago my fathers oldest sister married a Young College professor. The professor spoke nine languages and later was an official translator for the dutch government. Several years after his sister s marriage my father married my Mother. I was born the following year. Sex today a crossword my Uncle the professor then the Ann Landers went to my Mother and asked How i was born. I done to mean natural or caesarean i mean he knew nothing about sexual Intercourse and he and my aunt wanted children. I wont share with you what my Mother told him but i will say that Exchange was the major topic of conversation at family get together for quite some time. I thought you a be interested to know that my Uncle the professor and his wife were married for 46 years. They never had children. Although you recommended in an earlier column that Vernon see a doctor and find out Quot Why his Battery is dead a 1 Don t think he has a dead Battery. I believe he has a Short circuit. And Dixie probably does too since she thinks she has a a wonderful marriage a in my opinion this couple should be left alone. They were made for each other. Most people would consider them Odd but they will probably have a lifelong Happy space walk together in la la land. John in Ontario dear John i m sure your Uncle the College professor had the she did t want dear Abby this is in response to the writer who complained of solicitors knocking on her door a especially at dinner time. Many announced that they were not Selling anything a they were there to Quot share their religious Faith and were required to make door to door visitations. I used to just close the door in their faces hoping to dissuade them with a Curt Quot no thank you 1 already have a  after 1 had my first baby even taking time to answer the door became irksome so i had t a Quot no soliciting Quot sign pos leu on my door but these people insisted that they quibble clinical information on How babies Are made but for some mysterious reason he did no to know How to implement it. As for the woman he married Isnit it wonder fail that those characters found each other. For people who enjoy sex it is incomprehensible that there Are folks who have no interest in it whatsoever. I guess you Don t Mist what you be never had. Dear Ann Landers in March 1991,1 went to an Anonymous testing Center for a routine his test. In two weeks the results came Back positive. I was devastated. I was 20 years old and doomed. I became severely depressed and contemplated a variety of ways to commit suicide. After encouragement from family and friends i decided to fight Back. My doctors in Dallas told me that California had the Best care for his patients so i packed everything and headed West. It took three months to find a doctor i trusted. A before this physician would treat me he insisted on running More tests. Imagine my Shock when the new results came Back negative. The doctor tested me again and the results were clearly negative. In a grateful to be healthy but the 18 months 1 thought i had the virus changed my life forever. In a begging doctors to be More careful. I also want to Tell your readers to be sure and get a second opinion. I will continue to be tested for his every six months but i am no longer terrified. David in Dallas dear Dallas yours is truly a Nightmare with a Happy ending but done to blame the doctor. Its the lab that needs to shape up. The moral of your Story is this get a second opinion.
