The next paper doll we share with you is the winner of Mr. Texas is Curt Milstead (1963-1995). He graduated and later became a dental assistant after joining the United States Air Force in 1982 and was also a part-time fitness instructor.  

Curt has an interesting story...a witch hunt of sorts that tested his integrity as a human being and cost him his dream of a career in the Air Force.  

In the same year he won the title of Mr. Texas '84, Curt was discharged from the United States Air Force on suspicion of being gay. The proof that he was gay, which US Air Force investigators found in his room, was the trophy he won at Mr.Texas... then, under threats, he was forced to admit his sexual orientation as homosexual. 

If you want to read his story in his own words, check out TWT Aug/84. 

 

 

 

 So, here's the Curt Milstead paper doll...

O próximo vencedor do prémio Mr. Texas é Curt Milstead (1963-1995). Formou-se e mais tarde tornou-se assistente de dentista após ingressar na Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos em 1982 e foi também instrutor de fitness em part-time. Curt tem uma história interessante... uma espécie de caça às bruxas que testou a sua integridade enquanto ser humano e que lhe custou o sonho de uma carreira na Força Aérea. No mesmo ano em que conquistou o título de Mr. Texas '84, Curt foi dispensado da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos por suspeita de ser gay. A prova de que era gay, que os investigadores da Força Aérea dos EUA encontraram no seu quarto, foi o troféu que ganhou no Mr.Texas... depois, sob ameaças, foi obrigado a admitir a sua orientação sexual como homossexual. Se quiser ler a história dele por suas próprias palavras, dê uma vista de olhos na TWT Agosto/84. Então aqui está a paper doll de Curt Milstead... Até à próxima!

We present below Mr Texas81: Jay Gondik (1959 -2020). There's not much to say about him. The only thing I've read about him is that he won Mr. Round up before beating Mr. Texas first place in 1981.

Ted Fees was a graphic designer and fitness instructor. He gained fame as a bodybuilder being the winner MR. Texas 1980. It seems his sport was mountain climbing and he liked to travel. As TWT magazine (January 1980) quoted: 

"How you organize your evenings, only your fantasy knows for sure!"
