DEAR ABBY: What is the proper letter salutation for a married couple where the husband has recently undergone gender reassignment surgery? (They were "John and Millie Jones.") -- WONDERING IN KEY WEST--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR WONDERING: Because the husband is no longer John Jones and is now "Linda," for example, I would address the envelope to Ms. Linda Jones and Ms. Millie Jones -- placing their names in alphabetical order. And in the salutation I would write, "Dear Linda and Millie."
My neighbor is a 70-something year old man that started living as a woman once his wife died about three or four years ago. I freaked one morning when I saw his wife pulling trash cans out to the curb on our suburban street. I thought she had passed away! Then she turned around and I realized it was just him in a wig, pearls, and pumps.
Now I know how to address letters to him....if only I knew his/her name.

I pray that no one has to write a letter like this about me.
it's like one of those things that you never knew you would need to know and still hope that you never need to know....
Well, I guess we've come a long way from where to put the dessert spoon, eh?
SHUT UP! I am SO JEALOUS! Poor guy! awww...
