Dear BTL,
Wow – great article by Charles Alexander ("Parting Glances: One ray at a time" from the Aug. 25, 2005 issue of BTL https://www.pridesource.com/article.shtml?article=15490). He is not afraid to lay his soul bare in helping folks with alcoholism. His honesty had a humbling effect on me. He is very insightful and witty. Also, glad to see a guy who is admittedly mature but is also positive about it. The gay scene seems to write off older guys.
