Boy, Howdy, She Sure Knew How to Make Us Laugh

Ingrid befriended me at a time when a whole lot of lesbians weren't befriending trannies. We shared a common love of Borscht Belt humor. Hers was from the prairie, mine from the new jersey shore, but we met in the middle over all that corn. I love that she was a self- proclaimed, out and proud cornball. Her and that accordion of hers. Didn't she have the best smile in the world when she played that thing?!? Didn't she pour her heart into it? Oh, what a sweet, generous, talented woman.

My dearest Ingrid, I love you so. Make 'em laugh in the next world, kiddo.
