Thank you so much dear Wolfgang Hampel for doing this. You founded Betty MacDonald Fan Club with four members.<br /><br />Now we have members in 33 countries around the world. A dream came true. <br /><br />Mary Holmes did an excellent job in translating this great story. <br />Thank you so much dear Mary Holmes. <br />We are really very grateful. <br /><br />Merry Christmas to Letizia, Wolfgang and Mary and to all Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans from all over the world!<br /><br />Lenard <br /><br /><br />Following in Betty’s footsteps in Seattle: <br /><br />or some small talk with Betty<br /><br />Copyright 2011 by Letizia Mancino<br />All rights reserved <br />translated by Mary Holmes <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />We were going to Canada in the summer. “When we are in Edmonton”, I said to Christoph Cremer, “let’s make a quick trip to Seattle”. And that’s how it happened. At Edmonton Airport we climbed into a plane and two hours later we landed in the city where Betty had lived. I was so happy to be in Seattle at last and to be able to trace Betty’s tracks!<br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel had told Betty’s friends about our arrival.<br />They were happy to plan a small marathon through the town and it’s surroundings with us. We only had a few days free. One should not underestimate Wolfgang’s talent in speedily mobilizing Betty’s friends, even though it was holiday time. E-mails flew backwards and forwards between Heidelberg and Seattle, and soon a well prepared itinerary was ready for us. Shortly before my departure Wolfgang handed me several parcels, presents for Betty MacDonald's friends. I rushed to pack the heavy gifts in my luggage but because of the extra weight had to throw out a pair of pajamas! <br /><br />Betty MacDonald and I talked about tuberculosis, and that quite spoilt our appetite.<br /> <br />“Have you read my book “The Plague and I”?”<br /><br />“Oh Betty, I’ve started to read it twice but both times I felt so sad I had to stop again!”<br /><br />“But why?” asked Betty “Nearly everybody has tuberculosis! I recovered very quickly and put on 20 pounds! There was no talk of me wasting away! What did you think of my jokes in the book?”<br /><br />“Those would have been a good reason for choosing another sanitorium. I would have been afraid of becoming a victim of your humour! You would have certainly given me a nickname! You always thought up such amusing names!” Betty laughed.<br /><br />“You’re right. I would have called you “Roman nose”. I would have said to Urbi and Orbi “ Early this morning “Roman nose” was brought here. She speaks broken English, doesn’t eat geoduck but she does love cats.”<br /><br />“Oh Betty, I would have felt so ashamed to cough. To cough in your presence, how embarrassing! You would have talked about how I coughed, how many coughs!” <br /><br />“It depends on that “how”, Letizia!” <br /><br />“Please, leave Goethe quotations out of it. You have certainly learnt from the Indians how to differentiate between noises. It’s incredible how you can distinguish between so many sorts of cough! At least 10!”<br /><br />“So few?”<br /><br />”And also your descriptions of the patients and the nurses were pitiless. An artistic revenge! The smallest pimple on their face didn’t escape your notice! Amazing.”<br /><br />“ I was also pitiless to myself. Don’t forget my irony against myself!”<br /><br />Betty was silent. She was thinking about Kimi, the “Princess” from Japan! No, she had only written good things about her best friend, Monica Sone, in her book “The Plague and I”. A deep friendship had started in the hospital. The pearl that developed from the illness.<br />“Isn’t it wonderful, Betty, that an unknown seed can make its way into a mollusk in the sea and develop into a beautiful jewel?” Betty is paying attention.<br /><br />“Betty, the friendship between you and Monica reminds me of Goethe’s poem “Gingo-Biloba”. You must know it?” Betty nods and I begin to recite it:<br /><br /><br />The leaf of this Eastern tree<br />Which has been entrusted to my garden<br />Offers a feast of secret significance,<br />For the edification of the initiate.<br /><br />Is it one living thing.<br />That has become divided within itself?<br />Are these two who have chosen each other,<br />So that we know them as one?<br /><br /><br /><br />The friendship with Monica is like the wonderful gingo-biloba leaf, the tree from the east. Betty was touched. There was a deep feeling of trust between us. <br />“Our friendship never broke up, partly because she was in distress, endangered by the deadly illness. We understood and supplemented each other. We were like one lung with two lobes, one from the east and one from the west!”<br />“A beautiful picture, Betty. You were like two red gingo-biloba leaves!” <br /><br />Betty was sad and said ” Monica, although Japanese, before she really knew me felt she was also an American. But she was interned in America, Letizia, during the second world war. Isn’t that terrible?”<br /><br />“Betty, I never knew her personally. I have only seen her on a video, but what dignity in her face, and she speaks and moves so gracefully!”<br /><br />“Fate could not change her”<br /><br />“Yes, Betty, like the gingo-biloba tree in Hiroshima. It was the only tree that blossomed again after the atom bomb!” <br /><br /><br />Now I am back in Heidelberg and when I think about how Betty’s “Princessin” left this world on September 5th and that in August I was speaking about her with Betty in Seattle I feel very sad. The readers who knew her well (we feel that every author and hero of a book is nearer to us than our fleeting neighbours next door) yes we, who thought of her as immortal, cannot believe that even she would die after 92 years. How unforeseen and unexpected that her death should come four days after her birthday on September 1th. On September 5th I was on my way to Turkey, once again in seventh heaven, looking back on the unforgettable days in Seattle. I was flying from west to east towards the rising sun.<br /><br />Letizia Mancino's website <br />http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/<br /><br />Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member <br /><a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/">http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald <br />http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery<br /><br />Hilde Domin Fan Club <br /><a href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/">http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/</a> <br /><br /> Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society<br /><a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/">http://monicasone.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Society<br /><a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Fan Club<br /><a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Gwen Grant's website<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/">http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/</a><br /><br />Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member <br /><br /><a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/">http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer<br /><a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/">http://evavargas.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Otherwise it's no longer a democratic society. A simple fact. <br /><br />In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. <br /><br />Just imagine the loss of property, the personal insults, the barbed wire, armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, barren land, shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details, snapping to attention at an officer's approach. <br /><br />Therefore Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a very important book. <br /><br />Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder, author, poet and Monica Sone's good friend Wolfgang Hampel told us that Nisei Daughter belonged to the very few books he was rereading. I know many of us do the very same. <br /><br />Betty MacDonald encouraged her friend Monica Sone in publishing her book 'Nisei Daughter'.<br /><br />Betty MacDonald said: 'Nisei Daughter ' is a very remarkable book, humorous and delightfully readable, that takes you into the heart of a Japanese-American family and into the mind of the sensitive, perceptive eldest daughter.<br />The internment of the American born Japanese during World War II is handled with honesty and rare dispassion. It is certainly to Monica Sone's credit that she she still sings God bless America. <br /><br />Betty MacDonald was right. Having Monica Sone's experiences I'm not sure I would. <br /><br />I agree with John Heitman "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt."<br /><br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Lasse<br /><br /><br />Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society<br /><a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/">http://monicasone.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Society<br /><a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Fan Club<br /><a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Gwen Grant's website<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/">http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/</a><br /><br />Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member <br /><br /><a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/">http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer<br /><a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/">http://evavargas.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Letizia Mancino's website <br />http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/<br /><br />Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member <br /><a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/">http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald <br />http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery<br /><br />Hilde Domin Fan Club <br /><a href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/">http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/</a> <br /><br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Eisenhower who asked:<br /><br />"How could such a tragedy have occurred<br />in a democratic society<br />that prides itself on individual rights and freedoms?" <br /><br />I didn't know that some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others. <br /><br />In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. <br />John Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach. <br /><br />The most important question is: Do we really learn from our past? <br /><br />The mentioned websites are really very important and we learned a lot. <br /><br />May Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit live forever.<br /><br />Our world needs personalities like these outstanding two ladies.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Anita and Eartha Kitt II <br /><br /><br />RECOMMENDED READING:<br />JAPANESE INTERNMENT,<br />MEMOIRS AND MORE.<br />Courtesy of History San Jose <br />http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt3p30207v/?brand=oac<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> 921 SON, Nisei Daughter<br />Monica Sone spent her childhood in pre-World War II Seattle, in a part Japanese, part American world. Dinner might be steak and pumpkin pie or pickled daikon, rice, and soy sauce; there was American public school during the day and the strict formality of Japanese school in the late afternoons. "I found myself switching my personality back and forth daily like a chameleon. At Bailey Gatzert School I was a jumping, screaming, roustabout Yankee, but at the stroke of three...I suddenly became a modest, faltering, earnest little Japanese girl with a small timid voice." Her memories of growing up are vivid and full of marvelous stories, showing the confusion, frustration, and enrichment of living within two cultures. These elements come together when Japan bombs Pearl Harbor and Monica and her family are sent to an internment camp in Topaz, Idaho. Nisei Daughter describes the loss of property and the personal insults, the barbed wire and armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, and barren land - and the efforts of the Japanese-Americans to maintain their ethics, family life, and belief in the United States. Monica Sone is furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights, and yet ironically, it is during her time in the camps and afterwards in the Midwest that she finally brings together the various aspects of her heritage. Straightforward, searching, often funny, this is a highly readable account of one woman's experience living in many worlds. <br /><br />http://www.foitimes.com/internment/history.htm<br /><br />Years of silence: The untold story of German-American internment<br /><br />by Deborah McCarty Smith<br /><br />More than fifty years have passed since the beginnings of the arrest and internment of European Americans in the United States during World War II. For the most part, the history of internment has been either quieted or distorted. For example, the majority of the best-selling collegiate and secondary school history texts in the United States claim that, unlike Japanese Americans, the German and Italian Americans were not arrested and interned; and both the print and electronic news media have propagated this myth. <br /><br />56% of all internees (14,426 of 25,655) were Europeans and European Americans--Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, even several Czechs and Poles. <br /><br />The arrest of Germans, German Americans, Italians and Italian Americans began on December 7, 1941--four days before the U.S. was at war with Germany and Italy. [Source: ibid.]European and European Americans were kept interned until July 1948--more than three years after the war in Europe had ended.<br /><br />Europeans and European-Americans accounted for 56 percent of all internees during World War II, according to Arthur Jacobs, co-editor of World War Two Experience: The Internment of German-Americans. In all, some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others. <br /><br />In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach. <br /><br />"Do we really learn from our past?" John Heitmann wonders, tracing parallels between the internment of German- Americans in the '40s and government plans to intern suspected communists in the '50s, Iranians in the '70s and Iraqis in the '90s. In the FBI Filegate flap of the Clinton administration, in current anti-immigrant sentiment, in anti-terrorist legislation that circumvents due process, historians hear ominous echoes of earlier times. <br /><br />"There are some intrinsic flaws in human nature that reappear and are reflected in our institutions. It's a story of how institutions end up biting people," Heitmann said. "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt," he said, acknowledging a professional curiosity that is fueled by a personal quest to discover a part of his family history that is buried under years of silence. <br /><br />"Self-identity is an important purpose of history. It's a handle or fulcrum of how you understand yourself better. We're all a product of a complicated past. I see this as an example of what anyone can do: history as a process of self-discovery." <br /><br />Deborah McCarty Smith <br /><br />Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society<br /><a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/">http://monicasone.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Society<br /><a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Fan Club<br /><a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Gwen Grant's website<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/">http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/</a><br /><br />Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member <br /><br /><a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/">http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer<br /><a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/">http://evavargas.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Letizia Mancino's website <br />http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/<br /><br />Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member <br /><a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/">http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald <br />http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery<br /><br />Hilde Domin Fan Club <br /><a href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/">http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/</a> <br /><br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Monica Sone touched many people in her life. <br /><br />Blessings, <br /><br />David <br /><br /><br />Lorinda, Washington State<br /><br />It is very sad to hear that Monica Sone passed away. <br /><br />I did not realize she had a Masters in Clinical Psychology - that is really interesting. <br /><br />I suspect her intelligence was put to good use in that field and she helped a lot of people during her lifetime. <br /><br />Maybe you could say she took the lemons life gave her and made lemonade! <br /><br />Yours,<br /><br />Lorinda<br /><br /><br />Janet, author and journalist from Seattle:<br /><br />I look forward to reading Monica Sone's very important book NISEI DAUGHTER as I had friends who were also sent to those Japanese internment camps. <br /><br />What a terrible thing my government did to those people! <br /><br />One boy in my school class was sent there along with his family. Such a shame. <br /><br />Many years later, my classmates and I were able to locate him living in another state and invited him to our class reunion. He accepted our invitation and even gave a little speech about his experiences.<br /><br />It was wonderful to have him with us again. I have written several articles about him.<br /><br /><br />Many best wishes, <br /><br />Janet<br /><br /><br />Linda, USA:<br /><br />I enjoyed Monica Sone's book Nisei Daughter very much. <br /><br />It was a fascinating story of a life long friendship and Monica painted a picture with words. <br /><br />I learned a lot and am so glad I've read it.<br /><br />I enjoy any info about Betty MacDonald, her friends and her amazing life. <br /><br />I wish I had been able to be a part of her world. Her outlook on life was infectious and it reached so many people, decades later her magic is still at work. <br /><br />You have been a friend for a long time now, so maybe Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit truly lives on. <br /><br />Linda <br /><br />We lost our very good friend Monica Sone and miss her so much.<br /><br />All our love to Monica Sone's family and friends and to our Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club members, <br /><br />Reni <br /><br />Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society<br /><a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/">http://monicasone.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Society<br /><a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Fan Club<br /><a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Gwen Grant's website<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/">http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/</a><br /><br />Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member <br /><br /><a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/">http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer<br /><a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/">http://evavargas.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Letizia Mancino's website <br />http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/<br /><br />Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member <br /><a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/">http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald <br />http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery<br /><br />Hilde Domin Fan Club <br /><a href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/">http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/</a> <br /><br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Good luck for your future projects. <br /><br />Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel did an excellent job. <br /><br />We'll have a huge international Monica Sone Society and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Conference in 2011 with Monica Sone Society and Betty MacDonald fans from 5 continents.<br /><br />You'll be able to see the new Betty MacDonald Documentary for the very first time. <br />It includes many never published before interviews with Betty MacDonald's family and friends interviewed by Betty MacDonald Memorial Award Winner Wolfgang Hampel and other Betty MacDonald fans.<br /><br />As a very special huge Betty MacDonald surprise you'll see parts of the magical treasure interview with our beloved Betty MacDonald filmed in colour and the Betty MacDonald Fan Club Letter Collection with many letters written by Betty MacDonald, Mary, Cleve, Dede, Madge, Sydney, Darsie, Madge, Alison, Gammy and many other family members and friends. <br /><br />You can read many more information in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter March 2011. <br /><br /><br /> Betty MacDonald Fan Club proudly presents: <br /> <br />The amazing, very witty, charming, intelligent story written by our brilliant <br />new Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor Member, artist, writer and President of Goethe Society, Letizia Mancino. As we have so many international Betty MacDonald Fans we are very happy to offer you Letizia Mancino's story in other languages, for example in italian and german language. <br /><br />Greetings,<br /><br />Andrea <br /> <br /> When you dream, dream big <br /><br /> Part II <br /><br /> Copyright 2011 by Letizia Mancino<br /> All rights reserved <br /> Translated by D. Tsiaprakas<br /> <br />We'll meet on Vashon Island. <br /><br />Don, your second husband is so very much nicer! <br /><br />I love islands in North America: Though I know only the island „Mount Desert“ in Maine and not the island at the Pacific Coast –Betty's Vashon Island is near Seattle – however things seem to me to be very similar: Magic landscape, cosmic influences and thousands of small odd bits of land swimming in the wide ocean. Can they really swim? It looks as if they were wearing a life jacket around the lushgreen of the woods...<br /><br />I like Betty's and Don's house! Though I am missing „STOVE“ still there is a mad washing machine that makes life here interesting. What ghosts are likely to live within it? (Don is a Scotsman, I think he has taken it out of a haunted castle). Betty's daughters also live here: They are capricious girls with silly notions! „STOVE“ could be the father! Pity, they have been nicer in the other books when they were still little and sweet!<br /><br />However, there are nice cats and dogs: Betty is a great animal friend. She has even stored a huge amount of dog and cat boxes in the house. Indeed, the American kitchen is unbelievable! <br />When Betty can't buy food for humans – this happens with a stormy sea when the ferry boats can't deliver the island – she willingly resorts to those in the „worst case“.O, that culinary ability to adapt myself I will never develop! Do I perhaps eat the mice which my tomcat Tigerli brings me? <br /><br />Betty's cook book is inexhaustible. From wild animals to marine creatures on the coast. In the Pacific fantastic fish and crustaceans live: Spoiled for choice! O seafood! „The king“ is the lobster, I learned in Maine! <br /><br />However in Seattle it seems to be „Geoduck“! It's a sensation: It's got along neck! A sea giraffe? What's that? Betty help me! The damned name “Geoduck“ I don't find in my dictionary. The British encyclopedia Britannica doesn't know it either...Moment! I am looking it up in „The American Heritage Dictionary“. Thank God, I have found it: It's „a very large edible clam“. Clam of the size of 20cm.<br />What's the „cazze di Napoli“ in comparison to that? Mussels, shame upon you before the American! I look out of the window: Betty is crawling in the water with the whole family! Her daughter discovered Geoduck in the water. She grasps the neck of the animal! Clam is in a jam! It's caught! All are shouting for joy! What a delicacy! Betty is running into the kitchen: Clam is being prepared: I turn my eyes elsewhere, I don't want to see anything of it. I hear how the meat is smashed. Eggs are beat together with it. My stomach also feels sick.<br /><br />Betty is calling to eat. I dont eat that strange animal. It tastes heavenly, says Betty! I believe <br /><br />I will leave the island.<br /><br /><br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society<br /><a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/">http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel Society<br />Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet<br /><br /><a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/">http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club <br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

We all do! <br />Thanks a Million for sharing it, dear Gwen Grant.<br /><br />Monica Sone: <br /><br />Gwen Grant's Xmas story was charming and highly imaginative with real stars & the Milky Way decorating a huge cosmic tree. I especially love the conversation between George One & Mr. Estimet, their observations on us humans, the good and the bad.

To me jealous people are like dwarfs because of their mental disorder. I dislike them very much especially during Christmas time<br /><br />Very cold days in the State of Washington. <br /><br />I know Gwen Grant's very special Christmas gift will warm our hearts. <br /><br />I adore Gwen Grant's books. We can be very proud to have unique Betty MacDonald Fan Club Members like this.<br /><br />Thanks a Million dear Gwen Grant for sharing this wonderful story! <br /><br /><br /> ‘ON TOP OF THE WORLD’<br /><br /><br /> George One had been staring down at the Earth for a little while before he realised something was different.<br /><br /> But what?<br /><br /> Squinting, he concentrated on the big space telescope, the one that was always aimed directly at him. Well, at him and Mr. Estimet, he corrected, because whatever was different seemed to lay there.<br /><br /> ‘Ah!’ he exclaimed, as his eyes focussed. ‘That’s it. There’s a new person on the telescope, Mr. Estimet.’<br /><br /> Mr. Estimet, who had also been looking down at the Earth, gently rocking backwards and forwards on his heels, suddenly came to life.<br /><br /> ‘A new person, George?’<br /><br /> George zoomed in on the new person and read her name badge.<br /><br /> ‘Tilly,’ he announced. ‘Tilly Moffat. Haven’t seen HER before.’<br /><br /> George and Mr. Estimet knew all the people who worked on the big telescope. They knew the ones who got excited about any little change in the Universe, just as they knew the ones who remained calm, even a touch aloof when a new star was spotted, or a new asteroid, or a new anything come to that.<br /><br /> George smiled.<br /><br /> Sometimes, just for the fun of it, he would throw a scrap of foil through the observation window, chortling at the sudden burst of activity below.<br /><br /> Hardly worth a moment’s amusement, though, he admitted, because then he had to go out and get it back and that wasn’t easy, not with the pulling and tugging of all those gravitational fields swooping and soaring around him.<br /><br /> Felt as if he’d been dragged through a force field backwards by the time he’d finished.<br /><br /> But there you are, as Mr. Estimet always said, there was enough junk from the earth cluttering the cosmos without him adding to it.<br /><br /> Now here was Tilly Moffat and George had no idea how she would respond.<br /><br /> ‘And that,’ Mr. Estimet pointed out, ‘is because she hasn’t been behind the telescope before. Wasn’t it Zachariah Bumble before Tilly?’<br /><br /> Then Mr. Estimet also closed up on Tilly Moffat.<br /><br /> ‘Looks quite pleasant,’ he observed, ‘for a person.’<br /><br /> George was not convinced.<br /><br /> ‘Hmmm. Pleasant until she buys a great big field and builds a great big house on it with no regard for the non-humans who were there first.’<br /><br /> ‘Now, now, George,’ Mr. Estimet began, then let it go. <br /><br /> His own eyes shifted from Tilly Moffat back to the earth. He could see snow falling in parts of that little world down there and he totally loved snow.<br /><br /> Adored it, really.<br /><br /> Why, if there was anything that could make him volunteer for the very next stint on earth as an observer, it would be snow.<br /><br /> There was no snow on their planet, no misty mornings, no blue seas and golden sands, no anything, really.<br /><br /> ‘You know,’ he began, ‘despite all the things they do wrong…’<br /><br /> ‘Which is practically everything,’ George put in.<br /><br /> Mr. Estimet stopped him.<br /><br /> ‘I know, George, I know, but on the other hand, they do have a capacity for love.’<br /><br /> George One almost snorted.<br /><br /> Love, he thought. They had a capacity for love all right when they drowned the sea in oil and chemicals, when they chopped down the rain forests, when they polluted the air and chucked things into space without a thought for those living there.<br /><br /> But all he said was, ‘Really? They have a capacity for love? Are you sure about that, Mr. Estimet?’<br /><br /> ‘Well, look at what some of them do,’ Mr. Estimet began. ‘Some try to save the whale and the tiger. Quite a lot of them are trying to save the world. Yes, yes,’ he held up a hand as George One’s mouth opened, ‘I know much of it is self-interest to avoid extinction but not all of it, George. Many of them, for example, work for peace and, most promising, millions of them care about people they don’t even know.’<br /><br /> George thought about this. Nope, he couldn’t believe any of these things but then, Mr. Estimet always had been a wishful thinker, although he denied it.<br /><br /> ‘I’m not a wishful thinker so much as a hopeful energy source,’ he would say, ‘just like some of those people on earth.’ <br /><br /> Now, he smiled.<br /><br /> ‘Can you see those trees?’ he asked.<br /><br /> George looked down.<br /><br /> ‘You mean the few they’ve got left,’ he retorted tersely.<br /><br /> ‘No,’ Mr. Estimet’s voice was gentle. ‘I mean the trees with stars on them.’<br /><br /> ‘Stars?’<br /><br /> ‘Stars.’<br /><br /> There was silence for a moment as both George and Mr. Estimet winkled out the star dressed trees.<br /><br /> ‘Hmmm,’ George murmured. ‘Very pretty.’<br /><br /> Mr. Estimet glanced at him.<br /><br /> ‘Pretty?’ he repeated, and George blushed.<br /><br /> ‘I know it’s an earth word,’ he said defensively, ‘but it happens to be one I like.’<br /><br /> ‘And why not,’ Mr. Estimate smiled. Then, ‘Well, George, those trees are called Christmas trees. No, don’t ask me why. I have no idea. All I know is that they do this to them every year and what I thought was, we could put a Christmas tree on top of our planet to show the earth that we quite like them.’<br /><br /> ‘At the moment,’ he added.<br /><br /> Ignoring the last remark, George said, ‘Wouldn’t it have to be an extraordinarily big tree?’ <br /><br /> ‘It would.’ Mr. Estimet’s agreement was instant. ‘But we can do that. We can put a Christmas tree in space with a star on its top branch.’<br /><br /> ‘How about the North Star,’ George suggested. ‘That’s the brightest star we’ve got.’<br /><br /> Mr. Estimet shook his head.<br /><br /> ‘Better not. They’ll get a bit miffed down there if the North Star suddenly disappears.’<br /><br /> When it was ready, George and Mr. Estimet sent their particle Christmas tree roaring into the silence of the Universe.<br /><br /> It was enormous.<br /><br /> ‘Bite bare,’ George said thoughtfully, balancing the North Star on the tip of the tree, whipping a long strand of the Milky Way out of place then<br /><br />draping it artistically over the branches so that the tree sparkled and shone.<br /><br /> For a moment, the whole Universe shuddered until Mr. Estimet put the strand back almost as fast as George had removed it.<br /><br /> ‘Sorry,’ George said.<br /><br /> Other stars were fastened to the tree along with two or three glittering comets put on for a bit of interest and they were having a fine old time until George noticed Tilly Moffat staring up at them.<br /><br /> ‘She can see the tree,’ he said.<br /><br /> ‘Yes,’ Mr. Estimet nodded. ‘She can.’<br /><br /> The response was immediate from the little world below them and when George spelt out ‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS’ in very small stars, hanging them on the tree in place of the bit of the Milky Way that had been there before, Zachariah Bumble and the whole of the telescope team crowded around Tilly Moffat to stare at the Christmas tree floating in space. <br /><br /> ‘Happy Christmas, George,’ said Mr. Estimet, holding the Universe steady as George carefully took down the North Star and put it back where he had found it.<br /><br /> In the deep still silence, George said, ‘Happy Christmas, Mr. Estimet,’ and glancing down at Tilly Moffat’s shining eyes, added one more word to his banner of stars.<br /><br /> ‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS, WORLD.’<br /><br /> And to Mr. Estimet’s surprise, this time, George meant it.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> © by GWEN GRANT<br /><br />Gwen Grant's Christmas story is delightful. <br /><br />Merry Christmas to Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Gwen Grant, our other Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members Monica Sone and Darsie Beck and our Betty MacDonald Fans from all over the world.

For now, I would define " jealousy " as a very common feeling. Each one of us feels it, one time or another. <br /><br />One feels jealous when you see someone has something you value a great deal but you don't have it. Feeling jealous can be handled in a positive or negative way. It can stimulate you to work hard to get what you want or one could hold on to jealousy and feel emotionally unhappy.<br /><br />My definition may be disappointing because it's so simple. Jealousy can be hidden so one's behavior does not show jealousy. One could go on and on about this subject. <br /><br />A book can be written about it but I won't.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Monica Sone<br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

These persons have no self value feeling. They act like angry childs, destroy everything and have a miserable life. Very negative persons, indeed!<br /><br />I feel sorry for our beloved Betty MacDonald because there was lots of jealousy in her life.<br /><br />You can find comments of other writers for example: <br /><br />Betty MacDonald only wrote about herself and boring chickens. I can't understand the reason why THE EGG AND I is so successful. <br /><br />It's so typical for jealous persons.<br /><br />I'd like to change this sad subject now. <br /><br />Let's talk about our future Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members. We are very happy and grateful. <br /><br />Betty MacDonald influenced so many people including many writers and artists. <br /><br />An excellent writer moved to the State of Washington because of Betty MacDonald's unique books. <br />An outstanding artist and writer will create a special Betty MacDonald Gallery.<br /><br />We are going to introduce the new Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter and on our website in December and January. <br /><br />I hope we'll meet us again in 2011.<br /><br />My friends and I enjoyed the Betty MacDonald meetings so much. Thank so much for organizing these unforgettable events. It's the unique chance to meet so many international Betty MacDonald fans. They are very optimistic, bright, witty, brilliant and intelligent just the way unique Betty MacDonald is in her books.<br /><br />I love you and miss you so much! <br /><br />Wishing you a great time.<br /><br />Yours forever,<br /><br />Inga <br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Everybody knows it. <br />I can tell you the reason why, Eartha. Monica Sone and our other Betty MacDonald Fan Club honour members Gwen Grant and Darsie Beck are very glad to hear from their fans from all over the world. <br />Eartha you and I and many international fans know it.

If you have any questions or greetings don't hesitate to send them, please. The Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour members are very happy to hear from you. <br /><br />I admire Monica Sone's book Nisei Daughter. Betty MacDonald was right when she described Monica as Kimi the way she did in her book The Plague and I. Monica is very witty and intelligent although the subject of Nisei Daughter isn't a funny one. Just the opposite! <br /><br />After reading Gwen Grant's book Private! Keep out! we want to read her other books. <br />Golden Humor! A gifted writer! <br /><br />Darsie Beck's book and artwork are outstanding. <br />Betty MacDonald would be very proud. What a wonderful family with so many creative personalities! <br /><br />2010 is such a great year for Betty MacDonald Fan Club. <br /><br />Several new famous writers and artists will join us. <br /><br />Anita, you and Eartha Kitt II are really Betty MacDonald Fan Club dream team Nr. 1!<br />We admire your outstanding Betty MacDonald research and your support for Betty MacDonald Memorial letter project. <br /><br />Gerti, good luck with your fascinating project Betty MacDonald's favourite books and writers. <br /><br />Yours,<br /><br />Jakob <br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

You are a genius! I guess Eartha Kitt II supported you a lot. Outstanding teamwork! <br /><br />How did you find all these info about Betty MacDonald, Robert Heskett, Donald MacDonald, Darsie Bard, Sydney Bard, Gammy, Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde Jensen, Sydney Cleveland Bard, Mary Alice Bard, Dorothea DeDe Goldsmith, Jerry Keil, Joan MacDonald Keil, Madge Baldwin, Don Woodfin, Perry Woodfin, Mike Gordon, Ma and Pa Kettle, Nancy and Plum, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and others? <br /><br />I have a surprise. My parents visited the Northwest in the sixties. Both are huge Betty MacDonald Fans and they went to Vashon of course and they met ........<br />Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde Reynolds Jensen, Cleve Bard and Mary Alice Bard. We have many photos of the family and my father filmed them with his camera. So you can see and hear the Bard family. I'm going to present this at the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Meeting. <br />Mary Bard Jensen is very funny, indeed but you'll enjoy Clyde Jensen, Cleve and Mary Alice Bard as well. A wonderful family! <br /><br />Jens, you wrote: Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald interviews have fans in 26 countries. I bet there will be many more fans in the future. <br />Isn' t this amazing? Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are born humorists. Both delight their fans from all over the world. I'd love to have a Wolfgang Hampel CD and DVD with his very funny poems and stories. What about a book? We adore Wolfgang Hampel's high humor and wit in Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and his wonderful Betty MacDonald interviews. <br /><br />Jens, I agree. I appreciate Wolfgang Hampel's most interesting info of The Egg and I, The Plague and I, Anybody can do anything, Onions in the Stew, Nancy and Plum and the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories. Also included are Mary Bard Jensen's books The Doctor wears three faces, Forty odd, Just be yourself and the Best friends series. <br /><br />Any news of Betty MacDonald's filmed interview? <br /><br />Bye for now,<br /><br />Björn <br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Betty MacDonald Fan Club has members in 26 countries. <br />Wolfgang Hampel visited all the places where Betty MacDonald and her family lived. <br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel's new Betty MacDonald documentary of Betty MacDonald's life in Boulder, Butte, Seattle, Laurelhurst, Chimacum, Vashon Island, Carmel and Carmel Valley is really fascinating. My personal favourites are scenes of Betty's and Don's life in Carmel and Carmel Valley. <br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel, author of Betty MacDonald Biography, interviewed Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers, for example Truman Capote, J. K.

I'm one of the many fans who would like to read many more books written by wonderful Monica Sone. <br /><br />Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor member and author Gwen Grant sent this message to Monica Sone, Wolfgang Hampel and Betty MacDonald Fan Club <br /><br />Dear Wolfgang, <br /> <br />I can't thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to write to Kimi. <br /> <br />Lucky day for me when you came along, Wolfgang! <br /> <br />Gwen <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Sone, <br /> <br />This is not to bother you or to require an answer but simply to pay homage to you and to thank you for the years of pleasure you have given me knowing you as Kimi. <br /> <br />Betty called you 'gentle, intelligent, considerate, witty and beautiful,' in her book and everything you said and did supported that summing up. <br />You were a great inspiration to me with your sweet and gentle behaviour and, of course, your dry and very funny wit. I'm sure many, many others found you so, as well. <br /> <br />I understand it is your birthday and hope very much that you have a lovely day. <br /><br />Writing to you is something I would never have dreamt could happen so I am very grateful to you for allowing me to send this and for giving me the opportunity to once again thank you for being the Kimi I loved and still love so much. <br /> <br />Gwen Grant <br /> <br />Nena, I hope we can read your Betty MacDonald Fan Club story about Betty MacDonald's second husband Don MacDonald in one of the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletters.<br />Wolfgang Hampel's fascinating and witty Betty MacDonald interviews include many memories of Donald Chauncey MacDonald and I wished to have more information. Thank you so much for doing this! <br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald biography include very important details and facts of her life and work. I admire Betty MacDonald's books The Egg and I, The Plague and I, Anybody can do anything, Onions in the Stew, but also Nancy and Plum and the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories. Which is my favourite book? It's impossible to answer this question.<br />I love all of them. <br />Therefore I enjoy Betty MacDonald biography very much. It's an excellent opportunity to learn so much more of Betty MacDonald's life in Carmel and Carmel Valley. I'd love to go there to see all this and perhaps to meet wonderful Doris Day. Did Betty MacDonald and Doris Day know each other? <br /><br />I admire Wolfgang Hampel's brilliant stories and poems. I can't wait to read new ones in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. A Wolfgang Hampel CD and DVD should be available soon. Betty MacDonald would love Wolfgang Hampel's poems and stories as much as we do. <br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Gregor <br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Can you remember what Betty MacDonald's sister Mary Bard Jensen said about one book authors in Betty MacDonald's Anybody can do anything? <br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel's new Betty MacDonald documentary of Betty MacDonald's life in Boulder, Butte, Seattle, Laurelhurst, Chimacum, Vashon Island, Carmel and Carmel Valley is really fascinating.

Monica Sone and her family had run a hotel in Seattle before Executive Order 9066 sent all West Coast Japanese Americans into exile.<br /><br />http://www.washington.edu/uwpress/search/books/SONNIS.html <br /> <br />With charm, humor, and deep understanding, a Japanese American woman tells how it was to grow up on Seattle's waterfront in the 1930s and to be subjected to "relocation" dring World War II. Along with some 120,000 other persons of Japanese ancestry-77,000 of whom were U.S. citizens-she and her family were uprooted from their home and imprisoned in a camp. In this book, first published in 1953, she provides a unique personal account of these experiences.<br /><br />"Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both fair and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally hilarious."-New York Herald Tribune<br /><br />"The deepest impression that this unaffected, honest little story made on me was of smiling courage."-San Francisco Chronicle <br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel, Monica Sone's friend, author of Betty MacDonald biography, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award sent his very special birthday wishes: <br /><br />Copyright 2010 by Wolfgang Hampel<br /><br />Dearest Monica,<br /><br />we are so very happy to hear that you are well again and wish you a wonderful birthday today. A Million Times good health and all the best! <br /><br />I was rereading your book Nisei Daughter and I have to tell you that I agree with your many international fans. I wished I could read many more books written by great author and unique personality Monica Sone. <br /><br />I also agree with the New York Herald Tribune review of Nisei Daughter: Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both fair and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally hilarious.<br /><br />Yes, that's it! Deeply touching, also occassionally hilarious! When I'm reading your great book ( Nisei Daughter belong to the VERY few books I'm reading over and over again ) I'm really deeply touched. I'm with you and your great family. I adore your outstanding book and even much more I adore your unique personality. You are a genius but very human and warm with a deep understanding and a golden heart. <br /><br />The first time I heard your very warm voice I was lost. To me it's the most beautiful voice in the whole world. Voice and personality fit together in just a perfect way.<br /><br />2010 was a very successful year for Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club. <br /><br />Linde Lund and her Betty MacDonald Fan Club Event Team organized the Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Royal Wedding Event in Stockholm with many Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald fans from five continents. <br /><br />They saw the swedish royal wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling.<br />Victoria is the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, and belongs to the Royal House of Bernadotte. Born as a Princess of Sweden, she was designated Crown Princess in 1979 ahead of her younger brother.<br /><br />Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club sent a wedding present, books written by unique Monica Sone, Betty MacDonald and some Betty MacDonald Interviews by me, Wolfgang Hampel. <br />When I heard it I was very amazed. What do you think about this, dear Monica?<br />I hope Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling will enjoy it very much. <br /><br />Thanks A Million for your friendship. <br /><br />Although we are far away you and your family are always in our thoughts.<br /><br />Many hugs and greetings especially from Master Peter to great Lady Monica. <br /><br />Darling Peter said to me: Monica seems to get younger and younger and you are getting older and older. Before you look like an ooooolllllddd Wolf and act like a grandpa you should better ask Monica, what her secret is. Perhaps she might be able to help you. So Monica help me please, will you? It's really urgent. I'm awaiting your instructions. <br /><br />We have a Royal Wedding Weather today with lots of sunshine. The sky is so blue and there are no clouds in the sky. <br /><br />We wish you'll have the same 'Queensweather' and the most wonderful birthday ever. <br /><br />All our love<br /><br />Wolfgang, Angelika and Peter -<br />your old Wolf and your many fans worldwide<br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society<br /><a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/">http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />We'd love to hear from Monica Sone fans.Send your birthday wishes to <a href="mailto:lindelund2000@yahoo.com">lindelund2000@yahoo.com</a>, please.Thank you so much!<br /><br />Regards,<br />Linde Lund<br /><br />Interview with Monica Sone - author of Nisei Daughter<br /><a href="http://rhankins.blogspot.com/2008/10/daughter-with-author-monica-sone_16.html">http://rhankins.blogspot.com/2008/10/daughter-with-author-monica-sone_16.html</a><br /><br />Monica Sone<br /><a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/">http://monicasone.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Society<br /><a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Monica Sone Fan Club<br /><a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/">http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Happy Birthday, Monica Sone<br /><a href="http://blog.densho.org/2009/09/happy-birthday-monica-sone.html">http://blog.densho.org/2009/09/happy-birthday-monica-sone.html</a><br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

A very important book. I wished I could read some more books written by Monica Sone, but it's the only one she ever wrote.<br />Thank you so much, dear Linde Lund. We can be very grateful that Linde Lund heard of Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald Interviews. Linde had the fascinating idea to share them with Betty MacDonald Fans from all over the world. Linde, you are great! <br /><br />Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald interviews have fans in 26 countries. I bet there will be many more fans in the future. <br />Isn' t this amazing? Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are born humorists. Both delight their fans from all over the world. I'd love to have a Wolfgang Hampel CD and DVD with his very funny poems and stories. What about a book? We adore Wolfgang Hampel's high humor and wit in Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and his wonderful Betty MacDonald interviews. <br /><br />Morten, I agree. We have to find somebody like Mike Gordon, Bill Gates or Dagobert Duck who might be interested in purchasing Betty MacDonald's filmed interview. <br />Did you already ask your cousin? I'd die to see Betty MacDonald's filmed interview in colour.<br />I wished I'd be wealthy and prrrrominent.

Thank you so much for sending this very interesting mail. <br /><br />Yes, as it happens I do have some experience of chickens. When I was a girl, my father kept hens. And I actually wrote a book about keeping hens, FOX FIRE, and the different attitudes of two children to hens and foxes. We kept the hens at the bottom of the garden in a well protected, as we thought, hen run but one morning, we found them all dead. The foxes had got them. My Dad redoubled his efforts after this and the hen run eventually became so secure, it was all anyone could do to get in it to feed them! <br />The hens we had were a bit confrontational, I'm sorry to say, for when we went to get the eggs, we had to be careful as they would peck your hands. There were times though, when it was nice to go in and sometimes be allowed to stroke some feathers. <br /> <br />I'll draw a veil over the killing process when the hens were ready for the pot. I always made myself scarce at that point. However, my Mum taught me how to do everything from skinning and preparing a rabbit through gutting and cleaning a fish to plucking a chicken <br />and cleaning it ready for the pot. All I have to say to all of these activities is Yuk. <br /> <br />FOX FIRE - ISBN: 1-85213-337-6 - Orchard Books <br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Gwen Grant <br /> <br />We can't wait to read Gwen Grant's book FOX FIRE. <br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Morten <br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

A serious warning! Don't ever listen to Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald Interviews in public places. I did it in a bus. I felt off my sit because I couldn't stop laughing about this crazy couple. Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett share their witty experiences with family and friends but also about owning chickens. Terribly funny! <br /><br />This new Betty MacDonald CD and DVD influenced me to write a Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter story about owning chickens. I agree with humor champion Alison Bard Burnett. She got it! When you feel blue you only have to listen to Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett. Don't do it in a childish way like I did. By the way I did hurt myself. <br /><br />I don't agree with Geoff Taylor's description about owning chickens.<br /><br />Hens make a soothing clucking noise? <br /><br />Oh No!!!! They don't. I know it from practice. <br />They wake you up early in the morning. I'm a longsleeper. I hate their noise. It's just awful.<br /><br />Everyone should have a dozen chickens?. <br /><br />Everyone? What is the reason why? I never liked chickens. <br /><br />They’re far more soothing to the jangled city psyche than colorful fish swimming in a tank on a bookshelf?<br /><br />Oh dear, Geoff, stop it, please! This is kind of a very romantic feeling. I'm sure Betty MacDonald would hate it and I agree. A back to the country feeling. <br /><br />I'm a city girl and love my wonderful cat named Eartha Kit, who is as beautiful as Eartha, the singer. Wild Eartha is a city girl too and of course we celebrated World Cat Day together.<br /><br />Chickens give you eggs on your breakfast plate that are better and fresher than Bill Gates eats, unless he also keeps chickens?<br /><br />Eartha and I don't need eggs, in fact we don't like them. I can't imagine Bill Gates keeps chickens. If so I'd be very disappointed because I adore his intelligence.<br />So you know how I feel about Geoff Taylor's thoughts.<br /><br />I'd like to know what our very bright and charming Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Members, authors and artists Monica Sone, Darsie Beck and Gwen Grant think about owning chickens. I'm really very curious. I bet they don't like them. <br /><br />Chickens remain what they are. Stupid! <br />The world don't need their stupidity. We need more intelligence, tolerance and understanding. That's what we need. <br /><br />Eartha looks at me and seems to say: Anita, dull chick you sound like a prayer today. You still have to learn a lot! <br />Isn't Eartha very wise? She is so much more intelligent than I am. <br /><br />Have a nice day, dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans!<br /><br />Anita <br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

I'd love to see Monica Sone too. <br />It'll be such a great moment for us to see Betty MacDonald and listen to her very warm and feminine voice and unique laughter. I don't want to talk only about Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard, but also about the other family members especially Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's unforgettable sister Alison Bard Burnett. <br /><br />I adore Wolfgang Hampel's fascinating Betty MacDonald Interviews and biographical books The Kettles' Million Dollar Egg, The Egg and Betty, The Tragic End of Robert Eugene Heskett, Betty MacDonald and Mike Gordon, Betty MacDonald in Butte, Chimacum, Seattle and Carmel, Betty MacDonald's illness published by BMC 2009/2010. <br /><br />My aunt knows one of Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's close friends. My story about this will be published in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter September 2010 including very interesting Monica Sone memories and photos. <br /><br />Cornelia, who is next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member? I'm very curious but have no idea. <br />Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour members Monica Sone, Darsie Beck and Gwen Grant are outstanding and I adore their books very much. <br /><br />I'll never forget our Betty MacDonald Fan Club Events in Oslo and Stockholm. I hope there will be another one soon. <br /> <br /><br />Yours,<br /><br />Sandrine <br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

I'm going to share some of Joan MacDonald Keil's and Jerry Keil's letters about Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald. The letters are very funny and interesting. You'll enjoy them very much. <br /><br />We can be very fortunate to have these excellent Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour members Monica Sone, Darsie Beck and Gwen Grant. <br /><br />Next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour member is a famous writer and artist and President of a world famous Society? I saw a list of possible candidates in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. I'm very surprised and impressed. As I'm not Miss Marple II I'm not successful at all in finding this personality. <br /><br />Cornelia, you can't do things like this. You have to know I'm very impatient and curious. You wrote that Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard would have been crazy about our next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour member because you can read this in their books. What are you talking about?

When Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett talkes about her experiences with the Kettles even my mother-in-law is laughing. This is very surprising because she laughs very seldom. <br />We don't have neighbours like the Kettles. Our neighbours are like Mr. and Mrs. Hicks.<br />They have no children. We have a boy and two girls. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks are cutting down everything in the garden. Ours looks like a paradise or a green hell with many trees and brenches. Mr. Hicks always says to us: If you need help I'll cut everything down for you but we refuse so far. We have two dogs. Mr. and Mrs. Hicks don't like dogs or cats because Mrs. Hicks is very allergic. By the way we won't ever have any chickens although is seems that our children bring a new pet home every day. I know what they are talking about when they say: Mother, we have a surprise! You won't believe it! ( I do! )<br /><br />Mrs. Hicks is cleaning the house night and day and is called ' our newspaper' because she knows everything about the people in our community. <br />You know I thought it was a very witty idea to lend our Mrs. Hicks Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I which she wasn't aware of. After she read Betty MacDonald's book she said smiling: It was very funny but I dislike this awful Mrs. Hicks. She obviously doesn't understand the meaning of life. I couldn't say anything and looked at her with an open mouth. Mrs. Hicks gave me a strange look and said: Darling, is everything ok with you? You look terrible this morning!<br /><br />I want to share a very special Betty MacDonald family story. My grandmother wrote letters to Betty MacDonald, Mary and Sydney Bard because she loved Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's books. She was very fond after she got delightful letters written by Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard and even from mother Sydney Bard. I'll write a Betty MacDonald Fan Club Article about it. <br /><br />My girls and I like like Betty MacDonald's Nancy and Plum, The Egg and I, Anybody can do anything and Onions in the Stew. My hubby as he has the same profession as Mary Bard's husband Dr. Clyde Jensen prefers Betty MacDonald's The Plague and I and Mary Bard's The doctor wears three faces. Our boy likes the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle Stories. He always says: I don't behave like the boys and girls in the books and don't need a Piggle-Wiggle cure. I'm not sure. Not at all!<br /> <br />We can't wait to read Gwen Grant's books. We are very fond of Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter. Monica Sone, who is Kimi in Betty MacDonald's The Plague and I, is our favourite person in Betty MacDonald's books. <br /><br />We would like to visit the state of Washington, Seattle, Laurelhurst and Vashon Island and attend one of Darsie Beck's workshops. <br /><br />Congratulations! Betty MacDonald Fan Club has the most interesting and fascinating Betty MacDonald Honour members. Who will be the next?<br />Is it really a famous artist and writer and President of a world famous society? How wonderful! <br /><br />Eurovision Song Contest Betty MacDonald Fan Club Event Oslo 2010 was unforgettable.<br />Thank you, guys! I'm one of you!<br /><br />Gracia <br /><br />Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.
