    I stand corrected. Do you remember the exact month and year? I'd
like to find a copy. I'd looked years ago, but as I had no idea what
issue and the sort of places that stock back issues of Penthouse tend

Playmate Of The Month who mentioned Kate as her favorite performer?
I vaugely recall that she worked in San Francisco as a travel agent.
