Terri Pohrman has led an extraordinary life, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say "extraordinary lives."

Born male in Portland, Ore., Pohrman has been a transsexual for 42 years. She recounts careers in show business, women's fashion, hairdressing and 30 years of involvement with Napa Valley politics.

Trained in the beauty industry, Pohrman also worked in high-end fashion and said her customers included Bette Midler and Goldie Hahn. She fell in love with the Napa Valley after a day tour and moved to the area in the 1980s.

I missed this when first posted.
Quite a story about a true trailblazer.
