Thank you so much dear Wolfgang Hampel for doing this. You founded Betty MacDonald Fan Club with four members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we have members in 33 countries around the world. A dream came true. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary Holmes did an excellent job in translating this great story. &lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much dear Mary Holmes. &lt;br /&gt;We are really very grateful.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to Letizia, Wolfgang and Mary and to all Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans from all over the world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lenard &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following in Betty’s footsteps in Seattle: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or some small talk with Betty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright 2011 by Letizia Mancino&lt;br /&gt;All rights reserved &lt;br /&gt;translated by Mary Holmes &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel had told Betty’s friends about our arrival.&lt;br /&gt;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! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we had landed we took a taxi to the Hotel  in downtown Seattle. I was so curious to see everything. I turned my head in all directions like one of the hungry hens from Betty’s farm searching for food! Fortunately it was quite a short journey otherwise I would have lost my head like a loose screw!&lt;br /&gt;Our hotel room was on the 22nd floor and looked directly out onto the 16-lane highway. There might have been even more than 16 but it made me too giddy to count! It was like a glimpse of hell! “And is this Seattle?” I asked myself. I was horrified! The cars racing by were enough to drive one mad. The traffic roared by day and night. &lt;br /&gt;We immediately contacted Betty MacDonald's friends and let them know we had arrived and they confirmed the times when we should see them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the next morning I planned my first excursion tracing Betty’s tracks. I spread out the map of Seattle. “Oh dear” I realized “the Olympic Peninsula is much too far away for me to get there.”&lt;br /&gt; Betty nodded to me! “Very difficult, Letizia, without a car.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But I so much wanted to see your chicken farm”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“My chickens are no longer there and you can admire the mountains from a distance”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I wanted to go there. I left the hotel and walked to the waterfront where the State Ferry terminal is. Mamma mia, the streets in Seattle are so steep! I couldn’t prevent my feet from running down the hill. Why hadn’t I asked for brakes to be fixed on my shoes? I looked at the drivers. How incredibly good they must be to accelerate away from the red traffic lights. The people were walking uphill towards me as briskly as agile salmon. Good heavens, these Americans! I tried to keep my balance. The force of gravity is relentless. I grasped hold of objects where I could and staggered down.&lt;br /&gt;In Canada a friend had warned me that in Seattle I would see a lot of people with crutches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty laughed. “ It’s not surprising, Letizia, walking salmon don’t fall directly into the soft mouth of a bear!”&lt;br /&gt;“ Betty, stop making these gruesome remarks. We are not in Firlands!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went further. Like a small deranged ant at the foot of a palace monster I came to a tunnel. The noise was unbearable. On the motorway, “The Alaskan Way Viaduct”, cars, busses and trucks were driving at the speed of light right over my head. They puffed out their poisonous gas into the open balconies and cultivated terraces of the luxurious sky- scrapers without a thought in the world. America! You are crazy!&lt;br /&gt;“Betty, are all people in Seattle deaf? Or is it perhaps a privilege for wealthy people to be able to enjoy having cars so near to their eyes and noses to save them from boredom?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “When the fog democratically allows everything to disappear into nothing, it makes a bit of a change, Letizia”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ Your irony is incorrigible, Betty, but tell me, Seattle is meant to be a beautiful city, But where?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I had at last reached the State Ferry terminal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No Madam, the ferry for Vashon Island doesn’t start from here,” one of the men in the ticket office tells me. ”Take a buss and go to the ferry terminal in West Seattle.”&lt;br /&gt;Betty explained to me “The island lies in Puget Sound and not in Elliott Bay! It is opposite the airport. You must have seen it when you were landing!”&lt;br /&gt;“Betty, when I am landing I shut my eyes and pray!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It’s time for lunch. The weather is beautiful and warm. Who said to me that it always rains here?&lt;br /&gt;“Sure to be some envious man who wanted to frighten you away from coming to Seattle. The city is really beautiful, you’ll see. Stay by the waterfront, choose the best restaurant with a view of Elliott Bay and enjoy it.”&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you Betty!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I find a table on the terrace of “Elliott’s Oyster House”. The view of the island is wonderful. It lies quietly in the sun like a green fleecy cushion on the blue water. &lt;br /&gt;Betty plays with my words:&lt;br /&gt;“Vashon Island is a big cushion, even bigger than Bainbridge which you see in front of your eyes, Letizia. The islands look similar. They have well kept houses and beautiful gardens”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I relax during this introduction, “Bainbridge” you are Vashon Island, and order a mineral water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“At one time the hotel belonging to the parents of Monica Sone stood on the waterfront.”&lt;br /&gt;“Oh, of your friend Kimi!” Unfortunately I forget to ask Betty exactly where it was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mind wanders and I think of my mountain hike back to the hotel! “Why is there no donkey for tourists?” Betty laughs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m sure you can walk back to the hotel. “Letizia can do everything.””&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes, Betty, I am my own donkey!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But I don’t remember that San Francisco is so steep. It doesn’t matter, I sit and wait. The waiter comes and brings me the menu. I almost fall off my chair!&lt;br /&gt;“ What, you have geoduck on the menu! I have to try it” (I confess I hate the look of geoduck meat. Betty’s recipe with the pieces made me feel quite sick –  I must  try Betty’s favourite dish!)&lt;br /&gt;“Proof that you love me!”  said Betty enthusiastically “ Isn’t the way to the heart through the stomach?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I order the geoduck. The waiter looks at me. He would have liked to recommend oysters. &lt;br /&gt;“Geoduck no good for you!”&lt;br /&gt;Had he perhaps read my deepest thoughts? Fate! Then no geoduck. “No good for me.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Neither geoduck nor tuberculosis in Seattle” whispered Betty in my ear! &lt;br /&gt;“Oh Betty, my best friend, you take such good care of me!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I order salmon with salad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Which salmon? Those that swim in water or those that run through Seattle?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Betty, I believe you want me to have a taste of your black humour.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Enjoy it then, Letizia.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;During lunch we talked about tuberculosis, and that quite spoilt our appetite.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Have you read my book “The Plague and I”?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh Betty, I’ve started to read it twice but both times I felt so sad I had to stop again!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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!”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It depends on that “how”, Letizia!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So few?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”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.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ I was also pitiless to myself. Don’t forget my irony against myself!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;“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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leaf of this Eastern tree&lt;br /&gt;Which has been entrusted to my garden&lt;br /&gt;Offers a feast of secret significance,&lt;br /&gt;For the edification of the initiate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it one living thing.&lt;br /&gt;That has become divided within itself?&lt;br /&gt;Are these two who have chosen each other,&lt;br /&gt;So that we know them as one?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;“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!”&lt;br /&gt;“A beautiful picture, Betty. You were like two red gingo-biloba leaves!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“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!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Fate could not change her”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes, Betty, like the gingo-biloba tree in Hiroshima. It was the only tree that blossomed again after the atom bomb!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bill came and I paid at once. In America one is urged away from the table when one has finished eating. If one wants to go on chatting one has to order something else.&lt;br /&gt;“That’s why all those people gossiping at the tables are so fat!” Betty remarks. “Haven’t you seen how many massively obese people walk around in the streets of America. Like dustbins that have never been emptied!” With this typically unsentimental remark Betty ended our conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ciao! I so enjoyed the talk; the humour, the irony and the empathy. I waved to her and now I too felt like moving! I take a lovely walk along the waterfront.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

( who ever it may be)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a very special Xmas Surprise for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 30 years ago a relative of mine wrote several times to Mary Bard Jensen's husband Dr. Clyde Jensen. She was especially interested in the famous Bard Xmas family parties.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very dear Dr. Jensen  shared several photos of  family Xmas parties by Mary Bard Jensen, Betty MacDonald, Alison Bard Burnett, Dorothea Goldsmith ( Dede ) and others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald Fan Club Xmas Newsletter includes several of these photos. I know you'll enjoy them very much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miriam, speaking of husbands and Xmas I have to tell you my husband agrees with Betty MacDonald's husband Don. He likes table trees. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my daughters and me Xmas without a huge tree isn't Xmas at all.&lt;br /&gt;So what will we have?  Of course we'll have an enormous Xmas tree. Poor hubby! &lt;br /&gt;He always says: Sometimes it's a bit complicated  if you have three women in your house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't tell you how much we love Xmas time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gitta &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a very important book. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald encouraged her friend Monica Sone in publishing her book 'Nisei Daughter'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald was right. Having Monica Sone's experiences I'm not sure I would. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lasse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Eisenhower who asked:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How could such a tragedy have occurred&lt;br /&gt;in a democratic society&lt;br /&gt;that prides itself on individual rights and freedoms?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. &lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important question is: Do we really  learn from our past? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mentioned websites are really very important and we learned a lot.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit live forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our world needs personalities like these outstanding two ladies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Anita and Eartha Kitt II &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RECOMMENDED READING:&lt;br /&gt;JAPANESE INTERNMENT,&lt;br /&gt;MEMOIRS AND MORE.&lt;br /&gt;Courtesy of History San Jose &lt;br /&gt;http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt3p30207v/?brand=oac&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 921 SON, Nisei Daughter&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.foitimes.com/internment/history.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years of silence: The untold story of German-American internment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Deborah McCarty Smith&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;56% of all internees (14,426 of 25,655) were Europeans and European Americans--Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, even several Czechs and Poles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"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." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deborah McCarty Smith &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessings, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorinda, Washington State&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very sad to hear that Monica Sone passed away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not realize she had a Masters in Clinical Psychology - that is really interesting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect her intelligence was put to good use in that field and she helped a lot of people during her lifetime.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you could say she took the lemons life gave her and made lemonade!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorinda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janet, author and journalist from Seattle:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a terrible thing my government did to those people!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One boy in my school class was sent there along with his family.  Such a shame.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was wonderful to have him with us again.  I have written several articles about him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many best wishes,  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linda, USA:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoyed Monica Sone's  book Nisei Daughter very much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a fascinating story of a life long friendship and Monica painted a picture with  words. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned a lot and am so glad I've read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoy any info about Betty MacDonald, her friends and her amazing life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have been a friend for a long time now, so maybe Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit truly lives on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linda &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We lost our very good friend Monica Sone and miss her so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All our love to Monica Sone's family and friends and to our Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club members, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reni &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

These dwarfs are very dangerous and destroy everything. They are on war.  These fools need enemies to feel better. They feel  unimportant and very small.  That's what they are! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eartha and I are huge fans of Letizia Mancino's magical art. Eartha especially likes Letizia's cats. I love to see the islands. Letizia Mancino's tribute to Betty MacDonald is unique. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope I'll be able  to read another of Letizia Mancino's essays in the future. I adore her italian style and kind of humor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kjel, you also mentioned Wolfgang Hampel's beloved interview with very witty Alison Bard Burnett. Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are darling persons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If  Eartha and I are in a bad mood we 'll listen to them. We can't stop laughing. Eartha just told me I was writing nonsense. But believe me, dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans, that's the way it is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you remember what dear Vera wrote about it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vera:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett was a gifted writer and story-teller. &lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett wanted to write her autobiography. It's not easy at all to do this if you have two world famous sisters, authors Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard. &lt;br /&gt;We all know Alison Bard Burnett never wrote her book but something happend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, author of the Betty MacDonald Biography and winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, interviewed Alison Bard Burnett several times in Seattle in 1996. Years later our dear Linde Lund and other Betty MacDonald Fans heard of Wolfgang Hampel's interviews and eventually these Betty MacDonald treasure items had been published on CD and DVD. More Wolfgang Hampel interviews will follow. Thanks a Million dear Linde Lund and your Betty MacDonald Fan Club Team for doing this! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We guess Alison Bard Burnett would be very surprised about this but you are delighted if you listen to her golden Bard Memories about her father Darsie Bard, who died 6 months before she was born. Alison Bard Burnett's magical stories about her mother Sydney Bard, grandmother Gammy, sister Betty MacDonald, Betty's husbands Robert Eugene Heskett and Donald MacDonald, Betty's daughters Anne and Joan, sister Mary Bard and her husband Dr. Clyde Jensen,. brother Cleve Bard, adopted sister Madge Baldwin, Betty MacDonald's friend Monica Sone, the 'Kettle' family, Nancy and Plum and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle are unique. &lt;br /&gt;The favourite Alison Bard Burnett memories are about her sister Dede whose real name was Dorothea Goldsmith and her very good friend Mike Gordon who felt in love with Betty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Especially touching are Alison Bard Burnett's memories of family life in Laurelhurst, Chimacum, in the University District in Seattle, on Vashon Island and in Carmel Valley. &lt;br /&gt;It is moving to see Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett visiting the houses in the University District and Laurelhurst, where she was born. Alison visited it with Wolfgang Hampel. She saw it again for the first time after the Bard family left it. A very special moment! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Wolfgang Hampel said, Alison Bard Burnett was full of life and so very, very witty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Alison Bard Burnett never wrote a book of her own she is as popular now as her sisters Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard. Alison Bard Burnett's gift as a storyteller delights her fans in 33 countries. Alison Bard Burnett is world famous now and in our hearts forever! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vera, that's it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anita and  Eartha Kitt II &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi folks, this is Anita with Eartha Kitt II,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kjel, Eartha and I are very glad you and so many other Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans  enjoyed our Betty MacDonald Fan Club Letter contribution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We got a very positive feedback.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kjel, there is no place for jealous and hateful dwarfs.

Betty MacDonald Fan Club literature and art is very important for international Betty MacDonald Fan Club Community. It's great to have unique Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor Members Monica Sone, Darsie Beck, Gwen Grant and Letizia Mancino. We adore their books and essays so much. &lt;br /&gt;Letzia Mancino's Betty MacDonald Tribute is sort of a milestone in Betty MacDonald Fan Club literature and artwork. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most  favourite Betty MacDonald Fan Club item  is Wolfgang Hampel's interview with Betty MacDonald's very witty sister Alison Bard Burnett. Alison got the same talent as her famous sisters Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen. Listening to Wolfgang and Alison we  can't stop smiling and laughing even if we have sad feelings in our hearts like now.  Both are very  funny and teasing each other all the time. It's pure joy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are born humorists. In addition to Wolfgang Hampel's interviews and Betty MacDonald biographies and stories we enjoy Wolfgang Hampel's very witty poems so much.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Dan's huge success in researching the Dorita Hess story he is going to plan many more Betty MacDonald Fan Club  projects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding this subject you can find a very interesting report written by Greta,  Anita and Eartha Kitt II in our current Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. Very funny and with many details. Ladies, thanks a lot. We love you!  It's true, Betty MacDonald would have loved you too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a nice summer and an enjoyable weekend&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kjel &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

Thanks a lot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was the unforgettable Betty MacDonald Fan Club Eurovision Song Contest Meeting in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;It was a perfect example for tolerance and understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't help but people who act like this are in a way very ill,  jealous and  frustrated  dwarfs. They have no respect, toleration, understanding and other very important human qualities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bet you can remember. We discussed this before. Jealous dwarfs hate everybody in the whole world - even their parents. They need enemies because they are always on war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world suffers a lot because of these mental very disordered persons but we won't ever change. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We remain what we are - a very liberal and democratic country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the same with Betty MacDonald Fan Club.

By the way you guys have the most wonderful trees in the world. We love 'KÖ' and Old town very much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are so happy we could meet Lena in Düsseldorf. &lt;br /&gt;My friends and I are devoted Lena fans. We are a bit sad she wasn't the winner although her song ' Taken by a Stranger '  was the best one. Her performance was even better than last year. We 'll follow  Lena  like a Satellite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about Betty MacDonald I have to say the Betty MacDonald Fan Club can be very proud and happy. The new Betty MacDonald Documentary with Wolfgang Hampel's  fascinating Betty MacDonald interviews is simply great. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favourites are the detailed information and memories of  real persons in Betty MacDonald's books. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you folks for doing this.

The Pacific Northwest is culturally so influenced by Japan and our hearts are with them in this time of tragedy, as always. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a very small thing but I posted this song on my blog a few weeks ago – the American folk singer Odetta's version of the traditional Japanese song "Sakura."&lt;br /&gt;http://pacific-standard.blogspot.com/2011/03/blog-post.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope all is well with you, much love from Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strath&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorinda, Washington State:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, we feel sad for the people of Japan.  First Christchurch, New Zealand, and now Japan.  We have friends in Christchurch and were glad to hear from them that they are safe.  The earthquake and tsunami in Japan did so much more damage, though.  We have been reading about it in the papers daily, and things just seem to keep getting worse.  Japan, especially the north part, seems to be such a beautiful place, although I've never been there.  We recently watched a TV program where a professional photographer named Art Wolfe took a number of absolutely amazing photos of the hot springs in the north with the red-faced monkeys posing in the water, and photos of a Japanese monastery in winter.  It all looked so beautiful and peaceful.  We enjoy many aspects the Japanese culture that we have observed; particularly the devotion to their elders, the beautiful tea ceremonies, exquisite gardens that have such a peaceful feel to them, and the simplicity of Japanese interior design. When you visit Hawaii, it's where East meets West.  We're all guests together in that beautiful tropical paradise - those from the East and from the West.  Hawaii is a great place where they manage to seamlessly blend both Asian and western cultures together.  There are also quite a few Asian people in the Seattle area.  It is a culture that I can very easily embrace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best wishes,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorinda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Betty MacDonald Fans from all over the world, thank you so much for outstanding support. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing you a good time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ina &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

I wanted to be a writer, felt I probably already was a writer, and feared I would never be a writer. I was constantly looking for clues that would tell me that someone like me, someone from Seattle, someone who was a girl, someone who was no one, might be able to write a book. A book that got published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was always on the lookout for a message, something that would tell me that this thing could be done. I realize now that what I was looking for was an influence. Influence is a message about what is possible, sent by book from one writer to another. Different writers are looking for different messages. As a child, the message I sought was simple: This place is worth writing about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as I was a nobody, Seattle at that time was a non-place in literature. This was the 1970s. There were few nationally published authors from Seattle. Whenever I encountered any writing at all about the Northwest, I fell upon it gratefully. I was happy to read anything that had blackberries and Puget Sound and Douglas firs and the names of the streets downtown. I read Richard Brautigan stories; Ken Kesey’s Sometimes a Great Notion, though I didn’t even pretend to enjoy it; collections of columns by crabby old Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspapermen of the 1950s; poems by Carolyn Kizer. I read Tom Robbins and was embarrassed by the sex. I read Mary McCarthy’s first memoir, but she seemed to hate the place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, eventually, I read Betty MacDonald. She had been there all along, on my own shelves, in the form of her familiar, tattered Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books. Then, browsing my mother’s shelves one summer afternoon, I came upon a grown-up book by MacDonald: Anybody Can Do Anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had seen it before but assumed it belonged to the dreary crop of self-help books that had mushroomed on my mother’s shelves over the past few years. Bored enough, I picked it up—and found therein an enchanted world. Enchanted because it was exactly real. Anybody Can Do Anything is Betty MacDonald’s story of how she and her family weathered the Depression in an old wood-frame house (not unlike my family’s) in the University District (just a mile or two from where I lived). And though my historical circumstances were very different from hers, our shared geography was enough to make me feel that I was seeing my life reflected in her pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s funny to think of a time when Betty MacDonald’s books were new to me. Over the years I would come to know them the way I knew houses in my own neighborhood—with a casual intimacy. MacDonald began writing toward the end of her short life, in the 1940s, when she had found happiness with her second husband on their blackberry-ridden acreage on Vashon Island in Puget Sound. Her first book was The Egg and I, set in the 1920s. This chronicle of MacDonald’s life on an Olympic Peninsula chicken farm with her first husband would become her most famous book, make her a fortune, and form the basis of a wildly successful 1947 film. This, putting aside her books for children, was followed by The Plague and I, a surprisingly entertaining account of her stint in a tuberculosis sanitarium just north of Seattle. How she created a ripping yarn out of lying in bed for a year is one of life’s mysteries. Next came Anybody Can Do Anything, which I held in my hands. Finally she wrote Onions in the Stew, about life on Vashon Island, which came in 1955, just three years before she succumbed to cancer at the age of forty-nine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it was Anybody Can Do Anything, with its Seattle locale and its scrappy, cheerful message of survival, which spoke most directly to me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the book opens and the Depression begins, MacDonald has been living on the chicken farm in damp exile from her real life in Seattle. Married at twenty, she had followed her husband to the Olympic Peninsula so he could live his agrarian dream. Now she has reached her breaking point with the rain, the chickens, the monomaniacal husband, the whole affair. “Finally in March, 1931, after four years of this,” she recounts, “I wrote to my family and told them that I hated chickens, I was lonely and I seemed to have married the wrong man.” She snatches up her little daughters and makes her long, rainy, difficult way back to the city by foot, bus, and ferry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There she and her girls are folded happily back into her large family’s bosom. Her mother’s “eight-room brown-shingled house in the University district was just a modest dwelling in a respectable neighborhood, near good schools and adequate for an ordinary family. To me that night, and always, that shabby house with its broad welcoming porch, dark woodwork, cluttered dining-room plate rail, large fragrant kitchen, easy book-filled firelit living room, four elastic bedrooms…represents the ultimate in charm, warmth and luxury.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book describes life in that teeming, cozy household with her mother, her three sisters, her brother, and her two little girls, plus whoever else might be sle
