Thank you so much dear Wolfgang Hampel for doing this. You founded Betty MacDonald Fan Club with four members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we have members in 33 countries around the world. A dream came true. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary Holmes did an excellent job in translating this great story. &lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much dear Mary Holmes. &lt;br /&gt;We are really very grateful.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to Letizia, Wolfgang and Mary and to all Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans from all over the world!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lenard &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following in Betty’s footsteps in Seattle: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or some small talk with Betty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright 2011 by Letizia Mancino&lt;br /&gt;All rights reserved &lt;br /&gt;translated by Mary Holmes &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were going to Canada in the summer. “When we are in Edmonton”, I said to Christoph Cremer, “let’s make a quick trip to Seattle”. And that’s how it happened. At Edmonton Airport we climbed into a plane and two hours later we landed in the city where Betty had lived. I was so happy to be in Seattle at last and to be able to trace Betty’s tracks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel had told Betty’s friends about our arrival.&lt;br /&gt;They were happy to plan a small marathon through the town and it’s surroundings with us. We only had a few days free. One should not underestimate Wolfgang’s talent in speedily mobilizing Betty’s friends, even though it was holiday time. E-mails flew backwards and forwards between Heidelberg and Seattle, and soon a well prepared itinerary was ready for us. Shortly before my departure Wolfgang handed me several parcels, presents for Betty MacDonald's friends. I rushed to pack the heavy gifts in my luggage but because of the extra weight had to throw out a pair of pajamas! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we had landed we took a taxi to the Hotel  in downtown Seattle. I was so curious to see everything. I turned my head in all directions like one of the hungry hens from Betty’s farm searching for food! Fortunately it was quite a short journey otherwise I would have lost my head like a loose screw!&lt;br /&gt;Our hotel room was on the 22nd floor and looked directly out onto the 16-lane highway. There might have been even more than 16 but it made me too giddy to count! It was like a glimpse of hell! “And is this Seattle?” I asked myself. I was horrified! The cars racing by were enough to drive one mad. The traffic roared by day and night. &lt;br /&gt;We immediately contacted Betty MacDonald's friends and let them know we had arrived and they confirmed the times when we should see them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the next morning I planned my first excursion tracing Betty’s tracks. I spread out the map of Seattle. “Oh dear” I realized “the Olympic Peninsula is much too far away for me to get there.”&lt;br /&gt; Betty nodded to me! “Very difficult, Letizia, without a car.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But I so much wanted to see your chicken farm”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“My chickens are no longer there and you can admire the mountains from a distance”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I wanted to go there. I left the hotel and walked to the waterfront where the State Ferry terminal is. Mamma mia, the streets in Seattle are so steep! I couldn’t prevent my feet from running down the hill. Why hadn’t I asked for brakes to be fixed on my shoes? I looked at the drivers. How incredibly good they must be to accelerate away from the red traffic lights. The people were walking uphill towards me as briskly as agile salmon. Good heavens, these Americans! I tried to keep my balance. The force of gravity is relentless. I grasped hold of objects where I could and staggered down.&lt;br /&gt;In Canada a friend had warned me that in Seattle I would see a lot of people with crutches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty laughed. “ It’s not surprising, Letizia, walking salmon don’t fall directly into the soft mouth of a bear!”&lt;br /&gt;“ Betty, stop making these gruesome remarks. We are not in Firlands!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went further. Like a small deranged ant at the foot of a palace monster I came to a tunnel. The noise was unbearable. On the motorway, “The Alaskan Way Viaduct”, cars, busses and trucks were driving at the speed of light right over my head. They puffed out their poisonous gas into the open balconies and cultivated terraces of the luxurious sky- scrapers without a thought in the world. America! You are crazy!&lt;br /&gt;“Betty, are all people in Seattle deaf? Or is it perhaps a privilege for wealthy people to be able to enjoy having cars so near to their eyes and noses to save them from boredom?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; “When the fog democratically allows everything to disappear into nothing, it makes a bit of a change, Letizia”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ Your irony is incorrigible, Betty, but tell me, Seattle is meant to be a beautiful city, But where?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I had at last reached the State Ferry terminal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No Madam, the ferry for Vashon Island doesn’t start from here,” one of the men in the ticket office tells me. ”Take a buss and go to the ferry terminal in West Seattle.”&lt;br /&gt;Betty explained to me “The island lies in Puget Sound and not in Elliott Bay! It is opposite the airport. You must have seen it when you were landing!”&lt;br /&gt;“Betty, when I am landing I shut my eyes and pray!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; It’s time for lunch. The weather is beautiful and warm. Who said to me that it always rains here?&lt;br /&gt;“Sure to be some envious man who wanted to frighten you away from coming to Seattle. The city is really beautiful, you’ll see. Stay by the waterfront, choose the best restaurant with a view of Elliott Bay and enjoy it.”&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you Betty!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I find a table on the terrace of “Elliott’s Oyster House”. The view of the island is wonderful. It lies quietly in the sun like a green fleecy cushion on the blue water. &lt;br /&gt;Betty plays with my words:&lt;br /&gt;“Vashon Island is a big cushion, even bigger than Bainbridge which you see in front of your eyes, Letizia. The islands look similar. They have well kept houses and beautiful gardens”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I relax during this introduction, “Bainbridge” you are Vashon Island, and order a mineral water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“At one time the hotel belonging to the parents of Monica Sone stood on the waterfront.”&lt;br /&gt;“Oh, of your friend Kimi!” Unfortunately I forget to ask Betty exactly where it was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mind wanders and I think of my mountain hike back to the hotel! “Why is there no donkey for tourists?” Betty laughs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’m sure you can walk back to the hotel. “Letizia can do everything.””&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes, Betty, I am my own donkey!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But I don’t remember that San Francisco is so steep. It doesn’t matter, I sit and wait. The waiter comes and brings me the menu. I almost fall off my chair!&lt;br /&gt;“ What, you have geoduck on the menu! I have to try it” (I confess I hate the look of geoduck meat. Betty’s recipe with the pieces made me feel quite sick –  I must  try Betty’s favourite dish!)&lt;br /&gt;“Proof that you love me!”  said Betty enthusiastically “ Isn’t the way to the heart through the stomach?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I order the geoduck. The waiter looks at me. He would have liked to recommend oysters. &lt;br /&gt;“Geoduck no good for you!”&lt;br /&gt;Had he perhaps read my deepest thoughts? Fate! Then no geoduck. “No good for me.”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Neither geoduck nor tuberculosis in Seattle” whispered Betty in my ear! &lt;br /&gt;“Oh Betty, my best friend, you take such good care of me!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I order salmon with salad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Which salmon? Those that swim in water or those that run through Seattle?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Betty, I believe you want me to have a taste of your black humour.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Enjoy it then, Letizia.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;During lunch we talked about tuberculosis, and that quite spoilt our appetite.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Have you read my book “The Plague and I”?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh Betty, I’ve started to read it twice but both times I felt so sad I had to stop again!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“But why?” asked Betty “Nearly everybody has tuberculosis! I recovered very quickly and put on 20 pounds! There was no talk of me wasting away! What did you think of my jokes in the book?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Those would have been a good reason for choosing another sanitorium. I would have been afraid of becoming a victim of your humour! You would have certainly given me a nickname! You always thought up such amusing names!” Betty laughed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You’re right. I would have called you “Roman nose”. I would have said to Urbi and Orbi “ Early this morning “Roman nose” was brought here. She speaks broken English, doesn’t eat geoduck but she does love cats.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Oh Betty, I would have felt so ashamed to cough. To cough in your presence, how embarrassing! You would have talked about how I coughed, how many coughs!”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It depends on that “how”, Letizia!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Please, leave Goethe quotations out of it. You have certainly learnt from the Indians  how to differentiate between noises. It’s incredible how you can distinguish between so many sorts of cough! At least 10!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So few?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”And also your descriptions of the patients and the nurses were pitiless. An artistic revenge! The smallest pimple on their face didn’t escape your notice! Amazing.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“ I was also pitiless to myself. Don’t forget my irony against myself!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty was silent. She was thinking about Kimi, the “Princess” from Japan! No, she had only written good things about her best friend, Monica Sone, in her book “The Plague and I”.  A deep friendship had started in the hospital. The pearl that developed from the illness.&lt;br /&gt;“Isn’t it wonderful, Betty, that an unknown seed can make its way into a mollusk in the sea and develop into a beautiful jewel?” Betty is paying attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Betty, the friendship between you and Monica reminds me of Goethe’s poem “Gingo-Biloba”. You must know it?” Betty nods and I begin to recite it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leaf of this Eastern tree&lt;br /&gt;Which has been entrusted to my garden&lt;br /&gt;Offers a feast of secret significance,&lt;br /&gt;For the edification of the initiate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it one living thing.&lt;br /&gt;That has become divided within itself?&lt;br /&gt;Are these two who have chosen each other,&lt;br /&gt;So that we know them as one?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The friendship with Monica is like the wonderful gingo-biloba leaf, the tree from the east. Betty was touched. There was a deep feeling of trust between us. &lt;br /&gt;“Our friendship never broke up, partly because she was in distress, endangered by the deadly illness. We understood and supplemented each other. We were like one lung with two lobes, one from the east and one from the west!”&lt;br /&gt;“A beautiful picture, Betty. You were like two red gingo-biloba leaves!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty was sad and said ” Monica, although Japanese, before she really knew me felt she was also an American. But she was interned in America, Letizia, during the second world war. Isn’t that terrible?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Betty, I never knew her personally. I have only seen her on a video, but what dignity in her face, and she speaks and moves so gracefully!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Fate could not change her”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Yes, Betty, like the gingo-biloba tree in Hiroshima. It was the only tree that blossomed again after the atom bomb!” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bill came and I paid at once. In America one is urged away from the table when one has finished eating. If one wants to go on chatting one has to order something else.&lt;br /&gt;“That’s why all those people gossiping at the tables are so fat!” Betty remarks. “Haven’t you seen how many massively obese people walk around in the streets of America. Like dustbins that have never been emptied!” With this typically unsentimental remark Betty ended our conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ciao! I so enjoyed the talk; the humour, the irony and the empathy. I waved to her and now I too felt like moving! I take a lovely walk along the waterfront.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am back in Heidelberg and when I think about how Betty’s “Princessin” left this world on September 5th and that in August I was speaking about her with Betty in Seattle I feel very sad. The readers who knew her well (we feel that every author and hero of a book is nearer to us than our fleeting neighbours next door) yes we, who thought of her as immortal, cannot believe that even she would die after 92 years. How unforeseen and unexpected that her death should come four days after her birthday on September 1th. On September 5th I was on my way to Turkey, once again in seventh heaven, looking back on the unforgettable days in Seattle. I was flying from west to east towards the rising sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

She was especially interested in the famous Bard Xmas family parties.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very dear Dr. Jensen  shared several photos of  family Xmas parties by Mary Bard Jensen, Betty MacDonald, Alison Bard Burnett, Dorothea Goldsmith ( Dede ) and others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald Fan Club Xmas Newsletter includes several of these photos. I know you'll enjoy them very much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miriam, speaking of husbands and Xmas I have to tell you my husband agrees with Betty MacDonald's husband Don. He likes table trees. LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my daughters and me Xmas without a huge tree isn't Xmas at all.&lt;br /&gt;So what will we have?  Of course we'll have an enormous Xmas tree. Poor hubby! &lt;br /&gt;He always says: Sometimes it's a bit complicated  if you have three women in your house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't tell you how much we love Xmas time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gitta &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Otherwise it's no longer a democratic society. A simple fact. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine the loss of property, the personal insults, the barbed wire, armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks,  barren land, shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details,  snapping to attention at an officer's approach. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a very important book. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder, author,  poet and Monica Sone's good friend Wolfgang Hampel told us that Nisei Daughter belonged to the very few books he was rereading. I know many of us do the very same. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald encouraged her friend Monica Sone in publishing her book 'Nisei Daughter'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald said: 'Nisei Daughter ' is a very remarkable book, humorous and delightfully readable, that takes you into the heart of a Japanese-American family and into the mind of the sensitive, perceptive eldest daughter.&lt;br /&gt;The internment of the American born Japanese during World War II is handled with honesty and rare dispassion. It is certainly to Monica Sone's credit that she she still sings God bless America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald was right. Having Monica Sone's experiences I'm not sure I would. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with John Heitman "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take care,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lasse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Eisenhower who asked:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How could such a tragedy have occurred&lt;br /&gt;in a democratic society&lt;br /&gt;that prides itself on individual rights and freedoms?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't know  that  some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. &lt;br /&gt;John Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important question is: Do we really  learn from our past? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mentioned websites are really very important and we learned a lot.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit live forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our world needs personalities like these outstanding two ladies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Anita and Eartha Kitt II &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RECOMMENDED READING:&lt;br /&gt;JAPANESE INTERNMENT,&lt;br /&gt;MEMOIRS AND MORE.&lt;br /&gt;Courtesy of History San Jose &lt;br /&gt;http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt3p30207v/?brand=oac&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 921 SON, Nisei Daughter&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone spent her childhood in pre-World War II Seattle, in a part Japanese, part American world. Dinner might be steak and pumpkin pie or pickled daikon, rice, and soy sauce; there was American public school during the day and the strict formality of Japanese school in the late afternoons. "I found myself switching my personality back and forth daily like a chameleon. At Bailey Gatzert School I was a jumping, screaming, roustabout Yankee, but at the stroke of three...I suddenly became a modest, faltering, earnest little Japanese girl with a small timid voice." Her memories of growing up are vivid and full of marvelous stories, showing the confusion, frustration, and enrichment of living within two cultures. These elements come together when Japan bombs Pearl Harbor and Monica and her family are sent to an internment camp in Topaz, Idaho. Nisei Daughter describes the loss of property and the personal insults, the barbed wire and armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, and barren land - and the efforts of the Japanese-Americans to maintain their ethics, family life, and belief in the United States. Monica Sone is furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights, and yet ironically, it is during her time in the camps and afterwards in the Midwest that she finally brings together the various aspects of her heritage. Straightforward, searching, often funny, this is a highly readable account of one woman's experience living in many worlds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.foitimes.com/internment/history.htm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years of silence: The untold story of German-American internment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Deborah McCarty Smith&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than fifty years have passed since the beginnings of the arrest and internment of European Americans in the United States during World War II. For the most part, the history of internment has been either quieted or distorted. For example, the majority of the best-selling collegiate and secondary school history texts in the United States claim that, unlike Japanese Americans, the German and Italian Americans were not arrested and interned; and both the print and electronic news media have propagated this myth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;56% of all internees (14,426 of 25,655) were Europeans and European Americans--Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, even several Czechs and Poles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The arrest of Germans, German Americans, Italians and Italian Americans began on December 7, 1941--four days before the U.S. was at war with Germany and Italy. [Source: ibid.]European and European Americans were kept interned until July 1948--more than three years after the war in Europe had ended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europeans and European-Americans accounted for 56 percent of all internees during World War II, according to Arthur Jacobs, co-editor of World War Two Experience: The Internment of German-Americans. In all, some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do we really learn from our past?" John Heitmann wonders, tracing parallels between the internment of German- Americans in the '40s and government plans to intern suspected communists in the '50s, Iranians in the '70s and Iraqis in the '90s. In the FBI Filegate flap of the Clinton administration, in current anti-immigrant sentiment, in anti-terrorist legislation that circumvents due process, historians hear ominous echoes of earlier times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are some intrinsic flaws in human nature that reappear and are reflected in our institutions. It's a story of how institutions end up biting people," Heitmann said. "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt," he said, acknowledging a professional curiosity that is fueled by a personal quest to discover a part of his family history that is buried under years of silence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Self-identity is an important purpose of history. It's a handle or fulcrum of how you understand yourself better. We're all a product of a complicated past. I see this as an example of what anyone can do: history as a process of self-discovery." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deborah McCarty Smith &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Monica Sone  touched many people in her life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessings, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorinda, Washington State&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very sad to hear that Monica Sone passed away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not realize she had a Masters in Clinical Psychology - that is really interesting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suspect her intelligence was put to good use in that field and she helped a lot of people during her lifetime.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you could say she took the lemons life gave her and made lemonade!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorinda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janet, author and journalist from Seattle:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to reading Monica Sone's very important  book NISEI DAUGHTER  as I had friends who were also sent to those Japanese internment camps.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a terrible thing my government did to those people!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One boy in my school class was sent there along with his family.  Such a shame.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years later, my classmates and I were able to locate him living in another state and invited him to our class reunion.  He accepted our invitation and even gave a little speech about his experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was wonderful to have him with us again.  I have written several articles about him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many best wishes,  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Janet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linda, USA:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoyed Monica Sone's  book Nisei Daughter very much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a fascinating story of a life long friendship and Monica painted a picture with  words. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learned a lot and am so glad I've read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoy any info about Betty MacDonald, her friends and her amazing life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish I had been able to be a part of her world. Her outlook on life was infectious and it reached so many people, decades later her magic is still at work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have been a friend for a long time now, so maybe Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit truly lives on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linda &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We lost our very good friend Monica Sone and miss her so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All our love to Monica Sone's family and friends and to our Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club members, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reni &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

These dwarfs are very dangerous and destroy everything. They are on war.  These fools need enemies to feel better. They feel  unimportant and very small.  That's what they are! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We got a very positive feedback.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you so much dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eartha and I are huge fans of Letizia Mancino's magical art. Eartha especially likes Letizia's cats. I love to see the islands. Letizia Mancino's tribute to Betty MacDonald is unique. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope I'll be able  to read another of Letizia Mancino's essays in the future. I adore her italian style and kind of humor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kjel, you also mentioned Wolfgang Hampel's beloved interview with very witty Alison Bard Burnett. Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are darling persons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If  Eartha and I are in a bad mood we 'll listen to them. We can't stop laughing. Eartha just told me I was writing nonsense. But believe me, dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans, that's the way it is. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you remember what dear Vera wrote about it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vera:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett was a gifted writer and story-teller. &lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett wanted to write her autobiography. It's not easy at all to do this if you have two world famous sisters, authors Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard. &lt;br /&gt;We all know Alison Bard Burnett never wrote her book but something happend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, author of the Betty MacDonald Biography and winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, interviewed Alison Bard Burnett several times in Seattle in 1996. Years later our dear Linde Lund and other Betty MacDonald Fans heard of Wolfgang Hampel's interviews and eventually these Betty MacDonald treasure items had been published on CD and DVD. More Wolfgang Hampel interviews will follow. Thanks a Million dear Linde Lund and your Betty MacDonald Fan Club Team for doing this! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We guess Alison Bard Burnett would be very surprised about this but you are delighted if you listen to her golden Bard Memories about her father Darsie Bard, who died 6 months before she was born. Alison Bard Burnett's magical stories about her mother Sydney Bard, grandmother Gammy, sister Betty MacDonald, Betty's husbands Robert Eugene Heskett and Donald MacDonald, Betty's daughters Anne and Joan, sister Mary Bard and her husband Dr. Clyde Jensen,. brother Cleve Bard, adopted sister Madge Baldwin, Betty MacDonald's friend Monica Sone, the 'Kettle' family, Nancy and Plum and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle are unique. &lt;br /&gt;The favourite Alison Bard Burnett memories are about her sister Dede whose real name was Dorothea Goldsmith and her very good friend Mike Gordon who felt in love with Betty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Especially touching are Alison Bard Burnett's memories of family life in Laurelhurst, Chimacum, in the University District in Seattle, on Vashon Island and in Carmel Valley. &lt;br /&gt;It is moving to see Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett visiting the houses in the University District and Laurelhurst, where she was born. Alison visited it with Wolfgang Hampel. She saw it again for the first time after the Bard family left it. A very special moment! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Wolfgang Hampel said, Alison Bard Burnett was full of life and so very, very witty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Alison Bard Burnett never wrote a book of her own she is as popular now as her sisters Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard. Alison Bard Burnett's gift as a storyteller delights her fans in 33 countries. Alison Bard Burnett is world famous now and in our hearts forever! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vera, that's it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anita and  Eartha Kitt II &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

We know very well how brave you are in the very difficult situation in your country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Siv, you are right. Betty MacDonald Fan Club literature and art is very important for international Betty MacDonald Fan Club Community. It's great to have unique Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor Members Monica Sone, Darsie Beck, Gwen Grant and Letizia Mancino. We adore their books and essays so much. &lt;br /&gt;Letzia Mancino's Betty MacDonald Tribute is sort of a milestone in Betty MacDonald Fan Club literature and artwork. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most  favourite Betty MacDonald Fan Club item  is Wolfgang Hampel's interview with Betty MacDonald's very witty sister Alison Bard Burnett. Alison got the same talent as her famous sisters Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen. Listening to Wolfgang and Alison we  can't stop smiling and laughing even if we have sad feelings in our hearts like now.  Both are very  funny and teasing each other all the time. It's pure joy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are born humorists. In addition to Wolfgang Hampel's interviews and Betty MacDonald biographies and stories we enjoy Wolfgang Hampel's very witty poems so much.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After Dan's huge success in researching the Dorita Hess story he is going to plan many more Betty MacDonald Fan Club  projects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding this subject you can find a very interesting report written by Greta,  Anita and Eartha Kitt II in our current Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. Very funny and with many details. Ladies, thanks a lot. We love you!  It's true, Betty MacDonald would have loved you too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a nice summer and an enjoyable weekend&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kjel &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

Thanks a lot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was the unforgettable Betty MacDonald Fan Club Eurovision Song Contest Meeting in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;It was a perfect example for tolerance and understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't help but people who act like this are in a way very ill,  jealous and  frustrated  dwarfs. They have no respect, toleration, understanding and other very important human qualities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bet you can remember. We discussed this before. Jealous dwarfs hate everybody in the whole world - even their parents. They need enemies because they are always on war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world suffers a lot because of these mental very disordered persons but we won't ever change. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We remain what we are - a very liberal and democratic country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the same with Betty MacDonald Fan Club. There is no place for jealous dwarfs. NEVER! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's one of the many reasons I love to be a member of international Betty MacDonald Fan Club. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless you for your huge encouragement and solidarity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ole&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

We are working on the new Betty MacDonald Fan Club member list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a bit sad because we have to leave on Monday. We had such a great time and I know I'll miss the new and old Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans very, very much but we'll see us again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks a lot dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club Event Team for your hard work. You did an excellent job - as always! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish us a very exciting final on Sunday. May the best team win. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are in my heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francine &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

Japan or the U.S. team will win FIFA Women's World Cup 2011. The final will be very exciting. Can you hear our heart beat?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We guess Sweden will win third place. I'm very sorry, dear Martine, Nadine, Nicole, Pierre and many other Betty MacDonald Fan Club members from France. I'm joking and I know very well that France is an excellent team although they already  lost two games against Germany and U.S.A.&lt;br /&gt;So Sweden has a good chance. We'll meet us again in Sinsheim. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald Fan Club FIFA Women's World Cup 2011 DVD is very interesting with many Betty MacDonald Fan Club member interviews, Dan's fascinating Dorita Hess story and some interviews by Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel never published before. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can be very grateful and proud indeed that so many Betty MacDonald Fans joined  Betty MacDonald Fan Club during this great event. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter August 2011 includes a new list of Betty MacDonald Fan Club members from all over the world.&lt;br /&gt;Our international  Betty MacDonald Fan Club Community is growing every day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All my love to you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annica&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

The Pacific Northwest is culturally so influenced by Japan and our hearts are with them in this time of tragedy, as always. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a very small thing but I posted this song on my blog a few weeks ago – the American folk singer Odetta's version of the traditional Japanese song "Sakura."&lt;br /&gt;http://pacific-standard.blogspot.com/2011/03/blog-post.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope all is well with you, much love from Seattle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strath&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorinda, Washington State:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, we feel sad for the people of Japan.  First Christchurch, New Zealand, and now Japan.  We have friends in Christchurch and were glad to hear from them that they are safe.  The earthquake and tsunami in Japan did so much more damage, though.  We have been reading about it in the papers daily, and things just seem to keep getting worse.  Japan, especially the north part, seems to be such a beautiful place, although I've never been there.  We recently watched a TV program where a professional photographer named Art Wolfe took a number of absolutely amazing photos of the hot springs in the north with the red-faced monkeys posing in the water, and photos of a Japanese monastery in winter.  It all looked so beautiful and peaceful.  We enjoy many aspects the Japanese culture that we have observed; particularly the devotion to their elders, the beautiful tea ceremonies, exquisite gardens that have such a peaceful feel to them, and the simplicity of Japanese interior design. When you visit Hawaii, it's where East meets West.  We're all guests together in that beautiful tropical paradise - those from the East and from the West.  Hawaii is a great place where they manage to seamlessly blend both Asian and western cultures together.  There are also quite a few Asian people in the Seattle area.  It is a culture that I can very easily embrace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best wishes,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorinda&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Betty MacDonald Fans from all over the world, thank you so much for outstanding support. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing you a good time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ina &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eva Vargas, Eva Vargas Fan Club, Eva Vargas Society, Künstlerin, Autorin, Komponistin, Sängerin, artist, author, composer, singer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://evavargas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://evavargas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

I wanted to be a writer, felt I probably already was a writer, and feared I would never be a writer. I was constantly looking for clues that would tell me that someone like me, someone from Seattle, someone who was a girl, someone who was no one, might be able to write a book. A book that got published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was always on the lookout for a message, something that would tell me that this thing could be done. I realize now that what I was looking for was an influence. Influence is a message about what is possible, sent by book from one writer to another. Different writers are looking for different messages. As a child, the message I sought was simple: This place is worth writing about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as I was a nobody, Seattle at that time was a non-place in literature. This was the 1970s. There were few nationally published authors from Seattle. Whenever I encountered any writing at all about the Northwest, I fell upon it gratefully. I was happy to read anything that had blackberries and Puget Sound and Douglas firs and the names of the streets downtown. I read Richard Brautigan stories; Ken Kesey’s Sometimes a Great Notion, though I didn’t even pretend to enjoy it; collections of columns by crabby old Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspapermen of the 1950s; poems by Carolyn Kizer. I read Tom Robbins and was embarrassed by the sex. I read Mary McCarthy’s first memoir, but she seemed to hate the place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, eventually, I read Betty MacDonald. She had been there all along, on my own shelves, in the form of her familiar, tattered Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books. Then, browsing my mother’s shelves one summer afternoon, I came upon a grown-up book by MacDonald: Anybody Can Do Anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had seen it before but assumed it belonged to the dreary crop of self-help books that had mushroomed on my mother’s shelves over the past few years. Bored enough, I picked it up—and found therein an enchanted world. Enchanted because it was exactly real. Anybody Can Do Anything is Betty MacDonald’s story of how she and her family weathered the Depression in an old wood-frame house (not unlike my family’s) in the University District (just a mile or two from where I lived). And though my historical circumstances were very different from hers, our shared geography was enough to make me feel that I was seeing my life reflected in her pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s funny to think of a time when Betty MacDonald’s books were new to me. Over the years I would come to know them the way I knew houses in my own neighborhood—with a casual intimacy. MacDonald began writing toward the end of her short life, in the 1940s, when she had found happiness with her second husband on their blackberry-ridden acreage on Vashon Island in Puget Sound. Her first book was The Egg and I, set in the 1920s. This chronicle of MacDonald’s life on an Olympic Peninsula chicken farm with her first husband would become her most famous book, make her a fortune, and form the basis of a wildly successful 1947 film. This, putting aside her books for children, was followed by The Plague and I, a surprisingly entertaining account of her stint in a tuberculosis sanitarium just north of Seattle. How she created a ripping yarn out of lying in bed for a year is one of life’s mysteries. Next came Anybody Can Do Anything, which I held in my hands. Finally she wrote Onions in the Stew, about life on Vashon Island, which came in 1955, just three years before she succumbed to cancer at the age of forty-nine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it was Anybody Can Do Anything, with its Seattle locale and its scrappy, cheerful message of survival, which spoke most directly to me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the book opens and the Depression begins, MacDonald has been living on the chicken farm in damp exile from her real life in Seattle. Married at twenty, she had followed her husband to the Olympic Peninsula so he could live his agrarian dream. Now she has reached her breaking point with the rain, the chickens, the monomaniacal husband, the whole affair. “Finally in March, 1931, after four years of this,” she recounts, “I wrote to my family and told them that I hated chickens, I was lonely and I seemed to have married the wrong man.” She snatches up her little daughters and makes her long, rainy, difficult way back to the city by foot, bus, and ferry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There she and her girls are folded happily back into her large family’s bosom. Her mother’s “eight-room brown-shingled house in the University district was just a modest dwelling in a respectable neighborhood, near good schools and adequate for an ordinary family. To me that night, and always, that shabby house with its broad welcoming porch, dark woodwork, cluttered dining-room plate rail, large fragrant kitchen, easy book-filled firelit living room, four elastic bedrooms…represents the ultimate in charm, warmth and luxury.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book describes life in that teeming, cozy household with her mother, her three sisters, her brother, and her two little girls, plus whoever else might be sleeping over in one of those elastic bedrooms. It also details the literally dozens of weird and none-too-wonderful jobs that MacDonald held throughout the Depression: hapless secretary to businessmen of every stripe, fur-coat model, photo retoucher, rabbit rancher, firewood stealer, Christmas tree decorator, baby sitter, receptionist to a gangster. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author jumps from job to job, with whole industries blowing up behind her as she leaves, like Tom Cruise running from an exploding warehouse. She’s hustled along in the ever-shrinking job market by her sister Mary, who considers herself an “executive thinker.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary has a job ready for Betty as soon as she gets off the bus from the egg farm, never mind that Betty is utterly unqualified. Mary won’t hear of such talk. She is quick to admonish her sister: “There are plenty of jobs but the trouble with most people, and I know because I’m always getting jobs for my friends, is that they stay home with the covers pulled up over their heads waiting for some employer to come creeping in looking for them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth of this statement is disproved throughout the book. There were certainly not plenty of jobs. The portrait of Depression-era Seattle that emerges is definitively—though quietly—desperate. But on my first read, I hardly clocked the despair. I just thrilled to the evocation of my home, captured in such throwaway phrases as, “There was nothing in sight but wet pavement and wet sky.” MacDonald describes places that still existed, that I myself knew—the I. Magnin’s at the corner of Sixth and Pine, the palatial movie theater named the Neptune. Here she is on the Pike Place Market:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Public Market, about three blocks long, crowded and smelling deliciously of baking bread, roasting peanuts, coffee, fresh fish and bananas, blazed with the orange, reds, yellows and greens of fresh succulent fruits and vegetables. From the hundreds of farmer’s stalls that lined both sides of the street and extended clear through the block on the east side, Italians, Greeks, Norwegians, Finns, Danes, Japanese and Germans offered their wares. The Italians were the most voluble but the Japanese had the most beautiful vegetables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such descriptions caused a strange firing in my brain. I was accustomed to imagining locations from books; there was a deep pleasure in having that necessity for once removed. Even the food they ate was the food we ate. For special treats, MacDonald tells of buying Dungeness crabs and Olympia oysters, just as my family did. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw, illustrated perfectly, and in the cold light of nonfiction, the possibility that Seattle might be the setting for a book. I would not be struck so thoroughly by the possibility of a true Northwest literature until I started reading Raymond Carver in the mid-1980s. &lt;br /&gt;My mother told me that Betty MacDonald had died in the 1950s, but that her niece lived in our very own neighborhood. I walked by the house, gazing at it with a true feeling of awe: the niece of an author lived therein! Of course I knew authors were real people. But Betty MacDonald was more than real; she was tangible. She was prima facie evidence that the materials I had at hand—those trees, that rain—were enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other writers came and went; Betty MacDonald was among those who endured for me. This was because she was funny. No, that’s not quite right. Though I didn’t have the language for it when I first read her, Betty MacDonald was comic. As I became a writer myself, I studied her, trying to figure out just how she did it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She wrote long, ridiculous set pieces about her various jobs. She wrote hilarious portraits of her bosses, who in her hands become one long parade of human oddity. She wrote fondly of her family’s eccentricities. But above all, she wrote with unflagging self-abasement. Her books twanged with the idea that one’s own ridiculousness was comedy enough. A good example of her rueful tone: &lt;br /&gt;Until I started to night school, my life was one long sweep of mediocrity. While my family and friends were enjoying the distinction of being labeled the prettiest, most popular, best dancer, fastest runner, highest diver, longest breath-holder-under-water, best tennis player, most fearless, owner of the highest arches, tiniest, wittiest, most efficient, one with the most allergies or highest salaried, I had to learn to adjust to remarks such as, “My, Mary has the most beautiful red hair I’ve ever seen, it’s just like burnished copper and so silky and curly—oh yes, Betty has hair too, hasn’t she? I guess it’s being so coarse is what makes it look so thick.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It almost goes without saying that she distinguishes herself in night school by being the absolute worst student in every class.&lt;br /&gt;MacDonald was master of the comic memoirist’s first art: self-deprecation. Other types of memoirists value lyricism, or shock tactics. Comic memoirists are utterly dependent on knowing that they themselves are the silliest people in any given room. &lt;br /&gt;I know whereof I speak—I am this year publishing a memoir about my own very, very ordinary life. Memoirists like me are writing what author Lorraine Adams has called “nobody” memoirs. As she said in a 2002 piece in the Washington Monthly, such memoirists are “neither generals, statesmen, celebrities, nor their kin.”&lt;br /&gt;How, then, to proceed? You’re nobody. You want to write a memoir. Your first order of business is to let readers know that you know that they know you’re a nobody. So you must imply your unimportance as quickly as possible, and never, ever stop. By means of that simple dynamic, the memoirist makes a friend rather than an enemy of her reader. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Anybody Can Do Anything, MacDonald fails again and again. It’s an entire book about failure: her own, and the economy’s. It’s also about persisting in the face of one’s own admitted shortcomings. What she wants is a job commensurate with her skills, which she presents as nil: “I wanted some sort of very steady job with a salary, and duties mediocre enough to be congruent with my mediocre ability. I had in mind sort of a combination janitress, slow typist and file clerk.” &lt;br /&gt;Finally, she washes up safely on the sandbar of government work, taking a job at the Seattle branch of the National Recovery Administration, the New Deal agency started in 1933 and charged with organizing businesses under new fair-trade codes. There she felt right at home, surrounded by federal-level incompetence: “There were thousands of us who didn’t know what we were doing but were all doing it in ten copies.” &lt;br /&gt;MacDonald is rarely remembered for her wry tone. When she’s remembered at all, she is preceded not by her own reputation, but that of the big-screen version of The Egg and I, starring Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray, which is pretty nearly unwatchable. In the film, Ma and Pa Kettle—neighbors who are fondly, if broadly, drawn in the book—have been turned into tobacco-spitting, raccoon-roasting caricatures. And the public loved them. On the movie poster, the faces of these two crackers loom huge; Colbert and MacMurray cower tinily in the corner. Ma and Pa Kettle proved so popular that nine more films were made about them and their fictional fifteen children, and Betty MacDonald lost all hope of being taken seriously as a writer.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Many years after all of this, I was having dinner with a British writer who had undertaken to write about the Northwest. “You have to be careful about using too much humor, otherwise you end up sounding like Betty MacDonald: housewife humor,” he said, finishing in scathing (if posh) tones. MacDonald has been trapped in this role of domestic lightweight. But her writing, with its quiet irreverence, has more in common with, say, Calvin Trillin or Laurie Colwin, than it does with a mid-century housewife humorist like Erma Bombeck. (Though, really, what’s so bad about Erma Bombeck?) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What MacDonald models in her writing is actually very freeing—self-deprecation as a kind of passport to the ordinary. With it, you can take your reader into the most mundane details of your life, and they will often go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I teach adult writing students. When we work on memoir, they want to write pieces about what they’ve achieved. About their good marriages. About their sterling qualities. “Nobody wants to hear about that except your mother!” I tell them. Which is never very popular. Even so, I try to explain the Betty MacDonald principle to them: what people want to see in the memoir are reflections of their own failures and smallnesses. If you can show readers that you have those same failures, those same smallnesses, and make them laugh about it, they will love you. Or at least like you. Or at least accept you as a fellow nobody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These simple things would be enough for me: a story of Seattle; a tale told with self-deprecating humor. But what MacDonald achieves in Anybody Can Do Anything is something more than that: a finely observed journalistic record of her time. &lt;br /&gt;The ridiculous set pieces, the fond portraits of her family, and what New York Times critic Bosley Crowther called the “earthy tang” of her writing do not seem like indicators of a work of serious journalism. But MacDonald is getting down on paper what she sees happening all across Seattle, and ultimately providing us with a rough draft of history. The details of home and work life accrue, anecdotes pile up, and suddenly the reader has a real sense of daily existence in the West during the 1930s. This is a cheerful, unassuming way of documenting a socially and economically turbulent period. But it’s documentation nonetheless.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Take, for example, MacDonald’s account of one of her earliest jobs. This chapter encapsulates the uneasiness of the early part of the Depression, eerily suggestive of the economic tenterhooks we’ve been on since 2007. She’s been summarily fired from her first job as executive secretary to a miner, so the ever-resourceful Mary has found her a job at her own office, where she works for a lumber magnate. When Betty protests that she hasn’t any of the qualifications the lumberman is looking for in a secretary, Mary tells her not to fret. “‘You thought you couldn’t learn mining,’ Mary told me when she installed me as her assistant in the office across the street. ‘There’s nothing to lumber, it’s just a matter of being able to divide everything by twelve.’?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As she makes her way to work each morning, MacDonald is nervous but glad of the work: “Now I grew more and more conscious of the aimlessness and sadness of the people on the streets, of the Space for Rent signs, marking the sudden death of businesses, that had sprung up over the city like white crosses on the battlefield and I lifted myself up each morning timidly and with dread.” &lt;br /&gt;Her employer’s business is clearly failing, but MacDonald feels she shouldn’t leave her boss, Mr. Chalmers, in the lurch. She intends to stay until the end. “And I did,” we read, “in spite of Mr. Chalmers’ telling me many times that the Depression was all my fault, the direct result of inferior people like me wearing silk stockings and thinking they were as good as people like him.” Again, this blame-the-victim language recalls some of the rhetoric of today’s subprime mortgage crisis. But despite the boss’s efforts to draw a sociological line in the sand, he too is laid low by the economic downturn, and the chapter comes to an abrupt end: “Lumber was over.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author and her family soon lose their phone service, their electricity, their heat. Being Betty MacDonald, she makes it all sound rather jolly. She tells of endless bowls of vegetable soup eaten by candlelight. And when she complains about being broke, she does it with typical good humor: “There is no getting around the fact that being poor takes getting used to. You have to adjust to the fact that it’s no longer a question of what you eat but if you eat.” &lt;br /&gt;But sometimes the details tell the story that the tone masks. When the heat and the electricity have been turned off, the family relies upon old Christmas candles for light and firewood for heat: “When we ran out of fireplace wood, Mary unearthed a bucksaw and marched us all down to a city park two blocks away, where we took turns sawing up fallen logs.” Here, despite the characteristic pluck, you feel straits getting uncomfortably dire.&lt;br /&gt;This isn’t an overlay of social commentary sitting awkwardly atop a narrative. Instead, such commentary is tightly knitted to MacDonald’s own experience. When she notices that “[e]very day found a little better class of people selling apples on street corners,” she’s not making an idle observation—she’s wondering if she’s next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I came to write my own memoir, I was telling a small, personal story about being a mom at the turn of the millennium. I wanted to link the story to larger cultural forces I had observed, to what I saw as a kind of generational obsession with perfect parenting. In Betty MacDonald’s writing, I once again found just the model I needed. It was possible to connect the larger story around me to my own small story, without pretending to be definitive or historical. In fact, the more I focused on the details of my own very particular experience, the more I could give a feeling of the culture that I swam in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The message that Betty Macdonald sent me, through this book, is one of sufficiency: Your small life is enough. Other writers might be looking for a message that will feed their huge ambitions. From books, they learn how far they might go with their own writing. For me, the question has always been: How close to home might I stay?&lt;br /&gt;MacDonald’s qualities as a writer—the focus on the very local, the self-deprecating humor, the careful and personal observation of social changes—are modest qualities. They inspire through their very humility. The homely, says Betty MacDonald, is more than enough. This was the message I needed to hear. There’s a clue, of course, right there in the title. It’s been telling me since I was a girl, right up through the time I became a writer myself: Anybody can do anything. Even this. Even you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such lack of pretension doesn’t necessarily come
