congregation that he'd been hiding for most of his adult life. the reverend david weekley is trance sexual, he was born a girl but after a difficult childhood, he had gender reassignment surgery and he joins us this morning exclusively from portland along with his wife deborah. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> reverend weekley, i know that you began this transformation at the endage 261of 21. why did you decide to finally reveal the secret during your sermon? >> well, i never viewed it as a secret. i viewed it as part of my private life. i had wondered if there would ever be a time when it became part of my ministry and a year ago, i journeyed with a large part of my congregation to a place which is one of sites of the japanese internment chasms during world war ii. and it was there listening to stories of people and haerg the power of their story and healing

and the hope that came from sharing story that i began reflecting about the possibility of sharing my story with them and with other people to provide hope and education. >> and i know that you revealed it during a sermon during which i understand congregants were quiet, attentive. and afterwards what was their reaction? >> well, i was told that afterwards people applauded. i don't remember that. it was a pretty intense time. but they were very supportive. an following the service that day, there were many, many hugs and time for conversation and questions. >> your church does not ban transgender people from joining the clergy, but they do reevaluate their rules every four years. are you concerned that when that reevaluation comes up again they might take this up and rule against you? >> that is a possibility. and it's part of the reason for speaking out and being more

public at this time. >> are you okay with being part of a church that does not allow homosexuals to be in the clergy and you yourself are not allowed to owe officiate gay weddings? >> i'm not happy with that part of our church but i've chosen over the years to stay within it hoping to work for positive change about those kinds of things. >> mrs. weekley, you have only known your husband as a man. when did at the tell you about the change that he went through and were you always accepting of it? >> he told me about six months into our friendship. and i've always been accepting of it yes. >> never any hesitation? >> no. david's one of the finest human beings i know and i've always known him as a man and he's a wonderful husband and father and an awesome minister. so i've never seen a conflict with it. >> a lot of people though do

wonder why someone would go through something like this. would you explain, reverend weekley, why you decided to make this decision to change? >> to change. well, i never saw it as a decision. from my earliest memories, i always considered myself felt myself to be a boy. and i use that language because i was a child and that's the way i describe myself myself-image was always that of a little boy. that's how i played. those were my friends. it was only as i grew older that i began to understand there was a difference between how i viewed myself and how the world saw me. >> and since you have revealeded your truth to everyone do you feel differently? >> i do. there's a lot of burden off and i feel like i have more ability to pastor to my congregation and also other people that come to me. i've had so many e-mails and

cards from people all over the country and world saying they would like to return to a spiritual community and my being out there gives them some hope to do that. >> reverend david weekley, deborah weekley, thank you very much for sharing your story. >> thank you. >> have a good day. >> thanks you, too. right now we want to check in again with dave with a look at the weather. we're counting town todown to your sendoff. in the mean time, we head to the duties at hand. look at this stretch back as far west as idaho and montana and into the dakotas, what a major change we're talking about with winds kicking up from the north 20 to 30 miles an hour and look at that drop in temperatures. 30 to 40 degrees colder than yesterday in a lot of locations. and you could pick up a couple of inches of snow in some areas to the west in the hire elevations. let's widen out the map, take a look at the southeast, which looks gorgeous with the exception of south florida where you may see some thundershowers. strong storms rolling through all the way down from texas

20 years from now according to one estimate a college education could cost more than a quarter million dollars. now, it maybe tough to put away money these day, but our financial adviser ray martin says should you not neglect your kids' college savings plan. good morning. there's a brand new study out about how america saves for college study. what is the headline out of this study? >> according to the study, folks, parents have had a tough time saving for their children's college education. going right to the study, they're showing that about 47% are saving the same as last year for the children's college, but 33% are saving less than last year and 15% are saying nothing at all. now, in response to the difficult economic environment, personal savorings rates have shot up to decades high level here. but it hasn't translated to college savings here because competing economic resources and people are are just concerned and cutting back where they can. >> this is kind of an interesting dichotomy. >> there's a bright spot if we go back to the other screen is

that folks who are saving for their children's sclenlg are more confident that they have a plan to pay for that wloping college expense and parents of younger children are saving it when the kids are about three rearyears old. and 7% are using 529 savings plans which are the best way to save. and those who don't use them say they're in the familiar with them. >> so they've been around for a numb of years now. tell us what's so great about a 529. >> some of the benefits of 529 plan first of all, is that there are no income taxes when you save in these accounts. first let's talk about them. these are plans set up by states unceremoniously named for the section of the tax code 529 where states partner a mutual fund company, they provide an array of investment options and then you say into them and when the money grow, it grows tax free and when you take the money out for qualified education expenses, it all comes out tax

free. so big advantage here. >> and especially if you're talking about 20 years from now a quarter of a million dollars. >> that's right. >> you need to be-of. >> you need all the advantages that you can have. that's a big advantage. another advantage here is that the participants who owns the -- is the account owner, and the child never controls the money, so when your child gets to be age 18 or 21, they can't say, hey, take that savings and use to buy a corvette or something. here the parent always controls the money. so it really plays to that fear that the parent uses it for the child's college expenses. >> so the kid isn't going to run away to some foreign country and live happily ever after. but what happens if your kid turns 19 years old and says maybe i don't want to go college? maybe i want to you know, learn to -- who knowses. >> figure things out or they get a scholarship and you don't need the money. then you can roll the account over by changing the beneficiary to a younger child or to another

family member or a spouse or even yourself. you have a lot of flexibility here to name another beneficiary. or you can just withdraw the money as the parent and you will pay taxes on the earnings in that case if not used for education. >> if this price tag 20 years out is so formidable, are there limitations on how much you can put in every year? >> unlike other savings accounts like roth i.r.a.s, there are no income limits. so you can use it and contribute as little as $25 a month to many of these plans here, so there's none of those issues here. anybody can use help. >> last but not least, what's the way to find the best one? >> here's my check list here. really three things. look for a college savings plan that is provided by your state. 33 states offer a state tax deduction if you conuyou contribute to your state's plan. don't lose the sight of the big

idea here investment performance is key. and then look for plans that have low cost and fees, less than 1% in total costs. if there's one website to go, to go saving for college.com. you can check out the top ten performing plans and the top two typically come out to the new york state and utah plans. any parent can use that and may for college in any state. >> thanks ray. to contact ray head to our website, earlyshow.cbsnew.comes.com. up next, it's apple season. chris kimball is make somethinging some great deserts using fall's
