I didn't know anything about nudist camps or where they were situated so I telephoned a friend in Miami and told him of my predicament. ... Shyly at first, but later with real enthusiasm, I discovered after I had played a few games [of volleyball] that this was wholesome fun and really a healthy, zestful way to relax. I was also awakened to a new sense of values.
