Do you have any idea why we feel so ashamed? I do!

Betty MacDonald fan club fans,
William Cumming, famous artist in the Pacific Northwest School, was born in Montana on March 24, 1917.
In 1940, Betty MacDonald headed the National Youth Administration Division of Information in Seattle.
William Cumming became Betty's assistant.
His regular salary was $25 per month.
William Cumming described Betty MacDonald's personality:
Betty MacDonald's humor wasn't kindly, nor homey, nor friendly. It had the malicious edge of a scalpel, and it could cut. Betty MacDonald saw the flaws of the race as vicious. The fact that these flaws generally ended in hilarious pratfalls didn't make them any less lethal in her eyes" (Sketchbook: A Memoir of the 1930s and the Northwest School)
In 1942 William Cumming entered Firland Sanatorium with tuberculosis. Betty MacDonald, who had served her own time in Firland (The Plague and I), drove him there.
William Cumming was a very good friend of Wolfgang Hampel, Betty MacDonald Memorial Award Winner and author of Betty MacDonald biography.
Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel wrote a very touching story of William Cumming.
William Cumming was part of Wolfgang Hampel's monthly literary event 'Vita Magica'.
Wolfgang Hampel's stories and satirical poems will be published in several languages for his many fans from all over the world.
You'll be able to find all these very interesting info in future Betty MacDonald fan club newsletters.
William Cumming's outstanding artwork, letters and documents are included in the Betty MacDonald Fan Club Memorial Collection in Switzerland and Scandinavia.
William Cumming died of congestive heart failure on the morning of November 22, 2010. He was 93 years old.
Greetings,
Sandra
