                    Gay businessman Theodore Kruse is reported as missing by his wife. When another woman is                     suggested, his wife responds for publication, “I never knew of his having associated with another                     woman. I laugh at such a suggestion because I had virtually to drive him out with the young men of                     his acquaintance to attend banquets or other social affairs.” Kruse later is seen traveling with various                     other men and returns to Portland several months later. He and his wife are divorced almost

                    immediately afterward.
