In 1978 I was on a business trip to California, by myself, and I was staying at a motel near Disney Land. The motel had a Denny;s resturant nearby and after a long day I returned to my room took a shower. After the shower I needed to be "Arlene" and I was also hungry. Well I went over to Denny's enfemme and was treated very nicely by staff and the customers that I came in contact with. A group of 5-6 males entered the Dennys after I arrived and sat down at the counter where I was sitting. One of them said "Hi" to me and that started a conversation, which was very pleasant. No jokes, snide remarks by him or any member of his group. A very nice time was had, certainly by me. A post by another member, in the last few minutes (Carmen) mentioned that she and her friend were treated well at a Denny;s recently. Her post reminded me of this event, an event that I hadn't thought of in years. Back them my female name qas "Maureen Fleming" so I need "Maureen" time not "Arlene" time before I retired for the night.
