Amber's Story

Well, the last profile was up for a long time. Time to update. As you've seen, the kid that didn't fit had/has Asperger's syndrome and is Transgender. Still, happy ending are always possible if you can survive long enough and strive hard enough. It's over forty five years after Maine East, and all I can say is people rarely change. Classmates says 145 people have checked out my profile. It's sad because only two have reached out. Well, one I reached out to, and the other was a cousin of mine. One kind person put down that I was admired. That was sweet but hardly true. I know that I never fit in. I knew who and what I was by age three. Unfortunately, in 1962, few ever even heard of a transgender person, and society beat it down in the most brutal ways possible. The scars on my back attest to that. All I ever wanted was to have a mate and children. I fell in love with two women early and married the wrong one. She saw the act and wanted it. Now with 4 grown kids, I divorced and married the other, my childhood sweetheart. She saw me and not the act. Guess that's one reason I was so out of the loop at Maine, I couldn't connect with guys, never understood them, and was never treated as anything but...Expand for more
an outsider by them. While I loved the company of women, they saw an awkward boy, and not the girl staring out of his eyes. Besides, by the time I could drive, I was already caring for the one who'd become my first wife. I'm an Accountant spendingmost days quietly crunching numbers. It makes me happy. College and Grad School at U of I, Accounting at UNLV. Yep, 11 years in Vegas, but sold the boat and Harley to come back and marry the one I should have. I've been back in Illinois for 16 years now. My nice empty nest isn't empty anymore. Home now includes my daughter and my step-son, both of whom need care. My spouse has been my best friend for the last 56 years, and she still makes me as happy as she did the first time she put her hand in mine in 1965. I had my hell raising days even if noone at Maine bothered to see me. My friends were at Conant. As you may see by the newest picture, you never really know someone unless they let you. BTW, Jay was an act, and I let that go. If you care, my name is Amber Marie Grey. I doubt more than a few will even remember me. If you do and want to say hi, I'm easy to find. I don't have patience with haters or terfs, so be nice and I won't respond badly.

The prettiest girl I ever met. 40 years later, I still can't believe how lucky I am to have her as my best friend, my wife.
