From Gloria Stavers Permalink
I want to assure each and every one of you who have 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.
Smitty fax Permalink
Dear Miss Stavers,
I’d like to find out exactly when SMITTY’s birthday is, and I’d also like to know if he is married. I read somewhere that he is.
Carol Fletcher
Detroit, Mich.
Dear Carol,
SMITTY’s real birthday is March 27. He has been quietly married to his childhood sweetheart SUSAN for several years. SMITTY has never denied that he is married or tried to hide this fact. On the other hand, he hasn’t gone around blabbing about it either. He, like many other young stars, had hoped to keep his private life private, so as not to subject his family to curiosity seekers or fan harassment. However, since so many of you are genuinely interested and have expressed delight at the idea that he may be happily married and have a child—SMITTY himself has given us permission to reveal his indeed happy marriage and show you this first picture of him, his son RORY and his wife SUE. More in a later issue of 16. SMITTY is really overjoyed to learn that you care so much.

Mark’s pony-tail Permalink
Dear Miss Stavers,
Is MARK LINDSAY’s pony-tail real? I mean, is all that really his hair?
Susan Harrison
Springfield, Va.
Dear Susan,
You bet your pony-tail it is! However, since it is real hair, it does grow. Occasionally, MARK cuts it—and that’s how we get to give those groovy contests like Win Mark’s Ponytail. Dig?
Davy adorer Permalink
Dear Miss Stavers,
Would you like to know that the very earliest picture you ever printed of DAVY JONES was in the December 1963 issue? Would you please run that picture again? DAVY is a dreamboat, and you were the first to ever run his picture in America!
