Alison Bard Burnett, Wolfgang Hampel

It's Francesca,

dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,

We are so grateful and happy because of having such outstanding Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Members.

Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter and Betty MacDonald's wonderful friend described as Kimi in The Plague and I.

Nisei Daughter belongs to my favourite books. Betty MacDonald supported and encouraged Monica Sone in publishing this book. You only have to read Betty MacDonald's The Plague and I to notice how brilliant and witty Monica Sone is. I'd like to say thank you, dear Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald for doing this. As Wolfgang Hampel and Linde Lund already said: Nisei Daughter is a very important book because we can learn from the past. The question is: Can we? I'd say. Yes, we can!!!! ( And we have to learn!)

Darsie Beck, artist and writer, Alison Bard Burnett' s son, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's nephew.

It's not a surprise at all that Darsie Beck's Auntie Betty MacDonald was crazy about him. You only have to read Darsie Beck's childhood memories on Vashon Island, published on Betty MacDonald Fan Club Website. What a gifted personality! An outstanding writer and artist! After you' ve read Darsie Beck's book you know what really important in life is. Thank you so much, dear Darsie Beck! Betty MacDonald had a very good taste.

Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan.
My family and I have read Gwen Grant's book PRIVATE-KEEP OUT. We laughed tears.
Gwen Grant is soooooooooo funny! I can promise that we are going to read Gwen's other books too. Betty MacDonald would enjoy Gwen Grant's books as much as we do! As Barbara already said: Gwen Grant is a fascinating writer. We are very happy and proud. We are, indeed!

Dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club, I'd like to say thank you for your outstanding work and for finding these great Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Members.

Vera, thank you so much for writing the Betty MacDonald Fan Club story about Alison Bard Burnett's 90th birthday.
It's very sad that Alison Bard Burnett never wrote her autobiography. What a loss!
But I'd like to say THANKS A LOT, dear Linde Lund and your Betty MacDonald Fan Club Team for publishing Wolfgang Hampel's wonderful interviews with Alison Bard Burnett.
Wolfgang Hampel deserves the honour so much in winning the first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award.
Alison Bard Burnett is a gifted storyteller. She explains us the very special Bard family magic. Alison is as witty as her sisters Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard. These interviews with Wolfgang Hampel are Alison Bard Burnett's legacy and she shares it with the world.

Thank you so much, dear Wolfgang Hampel for writing the Betty MacDonald biography and interviewing Alison Bard Burnett and Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's family and friends. Without Wolfgang Hampel's great activity and ability to ask excellent questions these unique Betty MacDonald Memories were gone. I can imagine very well how Alison Bard Burnett and Wolfgang Hampel hurried through Seattle using Alison's old Volkswagen (VW). Those were the days Seattle never forgot. Such a wild couple!

Alison Bard Burnett said to Wolfgang Hampel: You are a great entertainer. The truth is, both are! I can't wait listening to Wolfgang Hampel's other interviews and reading his satirical poems and stories.

Thanks a Million, guys!

I promise: I'll attend the next international Betty MacDonald Event!
The Betty MacDonald Fan Club Royal Wedding Event in Stockholm was a dream!

Yours,

Francesca
