Gwen Grant, author, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor Member:

Dear friends,

We, in the Betty MacDonald Fan Club, have you all very much in mind and in heart.

I think about you constantly and put you in all our prayers. I watch the
daily News in the hope that the situation in Japan will change and that you will all
be well cared for. I think of you in all that snow and cold and our hope is that food and warmth will reach you and sustain you.

Our thoughts and prayers are especially with the children and with every person and family in this sad time of your distress.

We will keep you ever before us, dear friends.

With all love from

GWEN GRANT and EVERYONE in the BETTY MACDONALD FAN CLUB

Maureen and Ron:

Dear friends,

Our prayers and well wishes to our Japanese friends.

Our family has always had close ties to Japan. Grandfather who officiated at Betsy's first marriage was a Japanese speaker and as founder of the Far East Department at the U of W a path builder for Japan in Seattle.

Mother's caregiver Karen, to her relief, did after a long wait hear from her son who teaches in Ishinomaki in Miyagi prefecture.

The pictures are horific and our hearts go out to those who have lost so much.

Maureen and Ron


Ann, writer and journalist:

I don't know what to say.

I, like all who are horrified and heartbroken by all the tragedies that have swept through Japan, pray that there will be hope and help for the Japanese people.

They have an enormous task ahead and I only hope they have the strength to implement it.

Ann

Jon, who knew Betty MacDonald and her family:

In the ocean he finds a drop, in a drop he beholds the secrets of the sea.
Split the atom's heart, and lo! Within it you will find a sun.

I am saddened and worried about the nuclear disaster that followed the series of strong earthquakes and tsunami in Japan.

I am saddened for the people who are suffering and worried about the potentially deadly future that lies before them due to the possible escalation of the release of radioisotopes from the damaged nuclear power plants.

Jon

Janet , journalist and author:

To the friends in Japan,

I am very sorry for all the tragedies and devastation in your country.

Please know that I and many, many people from all over the world are praying for your health and safety.

God bless you all,

Janet

David, author:

This part of Japan felt the earthquake but did not suffer and damage.

Tokyo is having a hard time because some of their electricity came from the nuclear reactors that are now in a dangerous situation. Not only is the destruction terrible, but they don't know where people are.

Right now all the attention is on finding survivors and getting food and shelter to the homeless. Roads, railways, electricity, communications, etc. are all down or very limited and it is freezing at night there.

For the farmers, the future also looks bleak because the ocean waters came inland ten kilometers and flooded the rice fields with salt water.

David
