Jonas:
I feel sad Maurice Sendak passed away.
My sisters and I tremendously enjoyed his books.
I'd like to add my Betty MacDonald research, some letters and other documents, to our new Betty MacDonald biography.
Are there any plans to present the Betty MacDonald documentary in colour at the next Betty MacDonald fan club conference?
See you later,

Betty MacDonald's thoughts regarding Maurice Sendak
Martin:
Andrea, Ellen, Anita & Eartha,
I'm very interested in the Betty MacDonald Fan Club project 'Betty MacDonald and Maurice Sendak'.
I have a very important project contribution: Betty MacDonald's thoughts regarding Maurice Sendak's work.
I had to smile reading several relatives of Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans sending letters to Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard Jensen and the other family members.
My grandmother, also a doctor's wife agreed with Mary Bard Jensen after reading her book 'The doctor wears three faces' and sent several letters to Mary.
Mary Bard Jensen wrote back. There are several very, very witty letters.
I'm going to write a Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Mary Bard Jensen Society article.
Good luck for all Betty MacDonald Fan Club projects,
Martin

Maurice Sendak biography
Andrea:
Ellen, Anita and Eartha:
Let's cooperate with the story Maurice Sendak and Betty MacDonald.
I have many very interesting items, documents, letters and so on.
One of my very close friends produced a Maurice Sendak biography for TV.
I had the opportunity to meet Maurice Sendak during this production and we also talked about Betty MacDonald and his illustrations for Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's farm.
Imagine, my copy of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's farm includes an original Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle illustration by Maurice Sendak.
I agree with other Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans.
Darsie Bard's and Gammy's letters are full of wisdom and deep humanity. My favourites!

New Betty MacDonald letters
Jakob:
Beat, can you remember Deargrandmother, ( Sydney Bard's mother) who addressed her monthly letters to Betty with ' Dear Child Bride'.
You can find it in Betty MacDonald's THE EGG AND I, Chapter XV, 'Fancy work versus the printed word'.
I have to laugh aloud every time when I'm reading this.
Betty began to write long letters to family and friends and this was the start of THE EGG AND I.
I really enjoy Betty MacDonald's, Mary Bard Jensen's, Sydney Bard's letters but my favourites are letters by Gammy and son Darsie Bard.
Speaking of letters at the last Betty MacDonald Fan Club meeting I met a lady. She told me she had several letters by Betty MacDonald addressed to her gandmother.
She shared them with me and we both are working on the story now. It will be published in one of the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletters.
All the best to Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,
Jakob

Mary Bard Jensen letter
Beat:
Marcel, don't believe your wife, please.
You can find everything as we can see. Thanks a lot.
I like Betty MacDonald's very warm lines. She admired her mother Sydney Bard very much.
You need these letters in a depressing situation like in Firland.
As we know from Wolfgang Hampel's interviews the family supported Betty MacDonald very much during this difficult time.
Are there other chapters in the books by Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen mentioning letter writers in the family?
Thanks for your feedback.
I have a very special Mary Bard Jensen surprise.
I once purchased a Mary Bard Jensen book and there was a very interesting letter by Mary Bard Jensen inside. Can you imagine how I felt? An original letter written by the author inside the book.
There can be always something new under the sun and I was very happy to find it.
I'll share it with you in next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.
The Betty MacDonald Fan Club letter collection is one of the most interesting Betty MacDonald Fan Club research projects and very, very successful.

Sydney Bard's nickname 'Scrib'
Marcel.
Listen, dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans, I just found it although my beloved wife always says:
'Let me do it for you, Marcel. Men aren't able to find anything.'
It's true. My darling is a very good 'blind dog' for me but I was successful this time and therefore I'm really very proud.
Betty MacDonald wrote in THE PLAGUE AND I, Chapter Seven 'Heavy, Heavy Hangs On Our Hands':
Mother's letters have always been a delight and she is such an untiring and fluent letter writer that the family often refers to her as 'Scrib'...... She merely sits down at her desk and writes what is going on at the moment...... The whole letter was as much a part of mother as though she snipped off a piece of herself and sent it to me.
As we know now Sydney Bard's husband Darsie Bard was also an excellent letter writer.
Isn't it wonderful that we have the chance to read these unique letters?
Betty MacDonald Fan Club Letter Collection is very important.
So let's work on it and find more of these treasures.
I'm going to donate several letters.
Have a nice weekend,
Marcel

Nadine, I can remember what you are talking about.
I guess it's from Betty MacDonald's The plague and I but I can' t remember the chapter right now.
Reading the family letters I can only say: Every family member is full of imagination and wit and it's a real pleasure to read them.
It's the same with Wolfgang Hampel's interviews.
Looking forward to meet you, guys at the next international Betty MacDonald Fan Club Event.
Warm regards,

You are right: We can find every day something new. Isn't this exciting?
Who knows what sort of Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen treasures are waiting for us in the future?
We can be very grateful and happy because our relatives, grandparents, parents, aunts and so on who admire(d) Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard Jensen and the Bard family the same way we do today.
Therefore we are able to read the most interesting documents.
To imagine the situation, Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen had a very busy life but they answered every letter in such a kind way with all these details. It's really amazing. The fans had / have millions of questions.
I have to praise Mary Bard Jensen's husband Dr. Clyde Jensen.
Some relatives of mine met him after his wife passsed away.
( see also 'Dr. Clyde Jensen answered every question' in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter July)
As Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard Jensen's very witty sister Alison Bard Burnett mentioned in Wolfgang Hampel's interviews he was the kindest man on earth.
Gammy's and Darsie Bard's letters are my favourites because they are so very beautifully written.
If only I could write letters like this.

Betty MacDonald biography
Ini:
One of the most interesting subjects is the future use of huge Betty MacDonald Fan Club Collection.
The international Betty MacDonald Community should discusss this.
It's true. There is lots of potential for fascinating Betty MacDonald Fan Club research projects.
What about a Betty MacDonald letter biography mentioning all the details, comments and so on?
There are so many aspects in Betty MacDonald's life she never mentioned in her famous books.
Anyway - letters by Betty MacDonald and the family are great stuff. You can find the most interesting and witty examples.
One example of Bard family tradition is the already very often mentioned Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's youngest sister.
Alison is such a very gifted storyteller in the interviews with Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel. Not to be missed.
I can understand the reason why Betty MacDonald adored her grandmother Gammy and her father Darsie Bard. You only have to read their letters.
You can find so many strong characters in the Bard family.
I'm glad to hear we can welcome several new Betty MacDonald Fan Club members.
( see Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter June ' New Betty MacDonald Fan Club members')
I look forward to meet you in 2012.

We are very happy to be able to support unique Betty MacDonald Fan Club letter collection.
We are going to contribute some letters by Mary Bard Jensen, Dr. Clyde Jensen, Cleve and Mary Alice Bard and others.
My grandparents had been in contact with Dr. Clyde Jensen.
It's true what Alison Bard Burnett says in these very witty and interesting interviews with Betty MacDonald Memorial Award Winner Wolfgang Hampel.
What a wonderful man Dr. Clyde Jensen was. Mary was very lucky indeed.
The letters by Gammy and her son Darsie Bard are cute. I'm rereading them over and over again.
There are so many reasons to be happy and grateful.
Just imagine - to me it's like a dream that we are able to read these very insightful documents more than 100 years later.

This Betty MacDonald letter is the most important one I've read so far.
You can't stop laughing. To me Betty MacDonald is a miracle.
Isn't it outstanding the way she describes the situations with her publisher and other writers?
Anita and Eartha, I agree. Letizia Mancino is such a very gifted author and artist.
A new story by Letizia would be really great.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Take care,
Melanie
