From Gloria Stavers Permalink
I want to assure each and every one of you who has ever written a letter to me, at 16 Magazine, that every single letter is read and that careful consideration is given to everything you write. I’m sure you understand that there isn’t enough space in my magazine for me to publish every letter and that there simply isn’t enough time for me to answer every letter personally. But please know that I’m deeply grateful to you for writing me and that I appreciate every suggestion and criticism you address to me. Write to me as follows: Miss Gloria Stavers, 16 Magazine, 745 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022.

Davy & Mark fan Permalink
Dear Miss Stavers,
When I opened my Super Giant Pin-ups, I was so happy I almost cried. They’re all great, but the ones of DAVY JONES and MARK LINDSAY are really the ginchiest!

Glad you’re glad. Any others who would like to get turned on to super-giant-pin-up gladness, turn to Page 55.

Your word is my command. Here’s your pic and you can write to the CS in care of Columbia Records, 51 W, 52nd St., New York City.
Micky’s right age Permalink
Dear Miss Stavers,
I’m all mixed up. In your MICKY DOLENZ story in the February issue, you printed that he was born in 1948 and his sisters’ ages were different from what I thought they were. Could you please straighten me out?
Denise Wagner
San Francisco, Calif.
Dear Denise,
The printer really goofed on MICKY’s story. MICKY was born in 1945; Coco is 17, DEBBIE is 8, and GINA is 6 years old. Sorry about that, but thanks for your letter.
Color you pink Permalink
Dear Miss Stavers,
I’ve been feeling just rosy ever since I received the Color Wallet Photos I ordered from 16. I mean, they’re so absolutely adorable I’m happy all over!

Smitty’s folks Permalink
Dear Gloria,
I’m MIKE SMITH’s aunt and I take great pride in how popular “SMITTY” has become. I love all your stories about him and the RAIDERS in 16. Please run this picture of MIKE’s GRANDMOTHER SMITH as an example of how we all feel about our famous relative and your wonderful magazine.

Dear Miss Stavers,
I really would like to know everything about the MONKEES that there is to know. Would you suggest one book that would clue me on every bit of MONKEE-business that exists?

Fast as you can, turn to Page 17. There you’ll find out how to get The Word—for real and for true—on DAVY, MICKY and PETER.

I saw the GUILLOTINES recently on tour with the RAIDERS and I flipped over them. Would you please run a picture of them so the world can see my favorite group?
Karin Smith

Herman hater Permalink
Dear Miss Stavers,
I hate HERMAN. He’s a drag and he can’t sing. Why do you keep putting him in 16? I say out with HERMAN and the HERMITS!
Rita Taylor
New Orleans, La.
Dear Rita,
Like I always say, you’re entitled to your opinion, but I think you ought to look and listen a little closer to HERMAN and his HERMITS. They’re super-lively, super-talented and super-good-looking. If you don’t believe me, ask any growing girl.

I’m thrilled about my copy of 16’s Secret Sweetheart Book you sent me. My favorite sweethearts are MARK and FANG, but I love the others too!
