Lee’s passing, it was described

Baxandall’s tireless attempts with
his staff to bring his naturist flock
to Eastover, he wouldn’t bear
today.
TNS has also directed nudists photos (or
nudist) organizations in its demand for
Endorsement of homosexuals at naturist functions.
This does not mean that TNS accepts public sexual conduct from anyone in naturist
contexts such as clubs or free beaches, as
some critics of the policy have indicated.
What it means is that it does not matter to
TNS whether naturists are straight or homosexual;
behaves in a family-friendly manner, he or
she should be welcome.
The phrase “family-friendly” is picked
Attentively here, in lieu of the more generally used “family-oriented.” TNS wishes
to promote and be linked only with
naturist groups that supply an atmosphere
that would be proper for families with
children (and grandparents) of a variety of
ages. The groups will not need to be oriented to
families to the extent that all activities must
be designed to appeal to the interests of
young kids and their parents. No group
is likely to plan tasks that are of interest
to families with youngsters at all times. TNS
does ask however, that its clubs and groups
demand etiquette, behavior, and activities
that would be comfortable for most families, should families be there. Some groups
involved in social nudity, women love
it more and feel they derive more advantage
from it than guys.19 However, in some instances
clubs and groups find themselves with
what seems to be a gender imbalance of
men over women.
TNS will not accept this as sufficient to warrant systematic denial to singles

He further found in that case that the State
Supreme Court saw that “nudity, when combined
with another kind of protected speech may itself
be protected” gave foundation to Theatre on

Rights and a series of plays which comprised nudity
In addition to the bare peace sign.
Only because we two Living Theatre die hards came

from experience, we put ourselves on the offensive and
successfully challenged the State to make their case and
most commonly they neglected ————-even to enact a Fl legislative act
to criminalize only innocent nudity.
There is so much more……………… and now he is gone……..
I think of him constantly and always will and I know, the manner I
do the things I do are frequently as his pupil and frequently even
without his understanding, wanting to make him grin and be
proud of my actions and intent.
I loved him as the term Namaste’ defines…………the god in
