But who was the person behind Paige, who touched so many people?
Mark Middleton from Paducah, Kentucky started his drag career in Nashville. After initially declining, Middleton joined a pageant for individuals who have never done drag and won.
In an interview, Middleton’s friend Ron Sanford said that his Bianca Paige persona was the opposite of him.
“Mark was totally different than Bianca,” Sanford said.
“Mark was a brilliant man that became an even more fabulous woman.”
Middleton waited tables at Merchants and Mere Bulles when he wasn’t Bianca Paige, the Pantomime Rage.
Michael “Dolly” Wilson, another friend of Middleton, also said that he liked to keep his regular personality separate from his drag identity. He expressed that Middleton would finish work, exhausted and when he would turn into Bianca Paige, he would come to life.

While serving in the Army during the Vietnam War, William David Rice – mostly known as David – noticed so many of his fellow soldiers had not received a single piece of mail.
He wanted to change that.
So Rice wrote a letter in August 1967 to Pauline Phillips’ nationally syndicated column asking readers to write to lonely soldiers.
His letter said, “Dear Abby: For Christmas I’d like to see some smiles on the faces of lots of my buddies over here. They don’t get any mail. If any of your readers (from 15 to 80) have a 5-cent stamp and time on their hands, please have them write to ‘Any Lonely Soldier’ in care of me and I’ll see that he gets it. Thanks a million, Abby.”
