Betty MacDonald's magical interviews

Good morning, it's Guni

hello Gracia and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,

I was reading Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and when I shared stories with my family and friends everybody is delighted.

I agree it's very sad that Alison Bard Burnett never published her autobiography. The interviews with Wolfgang Hampel are terribly funny and it's such a great feeling to hear Alison Bard Burnett's wonderful voice and laugh.
The same with Betty MacDonald. When Betty MacDonald and Alison Bard Burnett are talking about life in Butte, Chimacum, Seattle, Laurelhurst, Vashon Island and Carmel you can feel the typical Bard magic. I hope we can hear and see Betty MacDonald's filmed interview and her radio interview in the near future.

Monica Sone's and Darsie Beck's comments and thoughts are excellent and very intelligent. We can be very proud of our wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour members. Our family adores Monica Sone's book Nisei Daughter. It's a very good feeling to have Gwen Grant as new Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour member. I'm always looking for good writers because we have many grandchildren and Gwen's books sound perfect. Our grandchildren love Nancy and Plum and the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books but also Mary Bard's Best friends series.

Gracia, you mentioned the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member is artist and writer and President of a world famous Society? Who is it?

Gracia, are you a writer? We couldn't stop laughing after reading your very funny story about your 'Mrs. Hicks'. You didn't describe her hairstyle. Does she have the same like Betty MacDonald's Mrs. Hicks?
I wished we had neighbours like this but ours are just normal people like you and me.
I can understand very well that Betty MacDonald wanted people to amuse her. With only bores around her she wouldn't have written books like The Egg and I, Anybody can do anything, The Plague and I and Onions in the Stew. As Wolfgang Hampel says to Alison Bard Burnett: There are so many bores in the world and Alison replies: Terrible ones!
Therefore we are so grateful and happy. Both are not boring at all and it's such a great pleasure to listen to them which happens very often.

Owning chickens seem to be very stylish now but we are very happy without them.
We love our cats.

Gracia, you can be very happy because you own letters written by Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard and their mother Sydney Bard. I have an original letter of Mary Bard in my collection. It's a very interesting and funny one ( not boring at all as you can imagine) and I would like to contribute it to your Betty MacDonald letters projcect in case you are interested.

I wish you good luck for your Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard and Sydney Bard letter story and hope we can read it in one of the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletters.

We meet us again at the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Event. The Fifa World Cup Betty MacDonald Conference in South Africa was outstanding. Thank you, Linde and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Event Team!

Have a sunny sunday,

Guni
