Betty MacDonald's brother Cleve Bard

I'm Björn,

Anita, I was reading the first part of your Betty MacDonald Fan Club story in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. You are a genius! I guess Eartha Kitt II supported you a lot. Outstanding teamwork!

How did you find all these info about Betty MacDonald, Robert Heskett, Donald MacDonald, Darsie Bard, Sydney Bard, Gammy, Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde Jensen, Sydney Cleveland Bard, Mary Alice Bard, Dorothea DeDe Goldsmith, Jerry Keil, Joan MacDonald Keil, Madge Baldwin, Don Woodfin, Perry Woodfin, Mike Gordon, Ma and Pa Kettle, Nancy and Plum, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and others?

I have a surprise. My parents visited the Northwest in the sixties. Both are huge Betty MacDonald Fans and they went to Vashon of course and they met ........
Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde Reynolds Jensen, Cleve Bard and Mary Alice Bard. We have many photos of the family and my father filmed them with his camera. So you can see and hear the Bard family. I'm going to present this at the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Meeting.
Mary Bard Jensen is very funny, indeed but you'll enjoy Clyde Jensen, Cleve and Mary Alice Bard as well. A wonderful family!

Jens, you wrote: Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald interviews have fans in 26 countries. I bet there will be many more fans in the future.
Isn' t this amazing? Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are born humorists. Both delight their fans from all over the world. I'd love to have a Wolfgang Hampel CD and DVD with his very funny poems and stories. What about a book? We adore Wolfgang Hampel's high humor and wit in Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and his wonderful Betty MacDonald interviews.

Jens, I agree. I appreciate Wolfgang Hampel's most interesting info of The Egg and I, The Plague and I, Anybody can do anything, Onions in the Stew, Nancy and Plum and the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories. Also included are Mary Bard Jensen's books The Doctor wears three faces, Forty odd, Just be yourself and the Best friends series.

Any news of Betty MacDonald's filmed interview?

Bye for now,

Björn

Betty MacDonald, Doris Day, Wolfgang Hampel

I'm Gregor,

dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans,

Nena, I hope we can read your Betty MacDonald Fan Club story about Betty MacDonald's second husband Don MacDonald in one of the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletters.
Wolfgang Hampel's fascinating and witty Betty MacDonald interviews include many memories of Donald Chauncey MacDonald and I wished to have more information. Thank you so much for doing this!

Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald biography include very important details and facts of her life and work. I admire Betty MacDonald's books The Egg and I, The Plague and I, Anybody can do anything, Onions in the Stew, but also Nancy and Plum and the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories. Which is my favourite book? It's impossible to answer this question.
I love all of them.
Therefore I enjoy Betty MacDonald biography very much. It's an excellent opportunity to learn so much more of Betty MacDonald's life in Carmel and Carmel Valley. I'd love to go there to see all this and perhaps to meet wonderful Doris Day. Did Betty MacDonald and Doris Day know each other?

I admire Wolfgang Hampel's brilliant stories and poems. I can't wait to read new ones in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. A Wolfgang Hampel CD and DVD should be available soon. Betty MacDonald would love Wolfgang Hampel's poems and stories as much as we do.

Take care,

Gregor

Donald MacDonald, Wolfgang Hampel, Monica Sone

Hi this is Nena,

I enjoyed Wolfgang Hampel's very special birthday greetings to Monica Sone.

Happy birthday, dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour member, Monica Sone.
Nisei Daughter is one of my favourite books.

As Wolfgang Hampel mentioned it's very sad that Monica Sone is a one book-author.
I'd love to read more Monica Sone books because her writing is excellent.
Nisei Daughter is so very touching.
Something comes in my mind. Can you remember what Betty MacDonald's sister Mary Bard Jensen said about one book authors in Betty MacDonald's Anybody can do anything?

Speaking of special birthday anniversaries, what about Betty MacDonald's husband Donald MacDonald?
Donald Chauncey MacDonald was born Sept. 2, 1910, in Council Bluffs, Iowa 100 years ago. He died in 1975 at the age of only 65 in Monterey.

I'm working on a story about Donald Chauncey MacDonald with many facts, information and photos for Betty MacDonald Newsletter.

In Wolfgang Hampel's wonderful Betty MacDonald interviews Betty MacDonald's beloved sister Alison Bard Burnett and many other relatives and friends tell the most interesting memories of Donald Chauncey MacDonald. I hope these interviews will be published soon.

Wolfgang Hampel's new Betty MacDonald documentary of Betty MacDonald's life in Boulder,
Butte, Seattle, Laurelhurst, Chimacum, Vashon Island, Carmel and Carmel Valley is really fascinating. My personal favourites are scenes of Betty's and Don's life in Carmel and Carmel Valley.

I hope that Betty MacDonald's filmed interview will be available soon. Where are the Mike Gordons, Bill Gates and Dagobert Ducks? Help us, please.

Wolfgang Hampel's satirical poems and stories are delightful and so very witty. It's a very good idea to offer a special CD and DVD of Wolfgang Hampel's work.

I've read Gwen Grant's PRIVATE! KEEP OUT. A very funny book!
Gwen Grant is a wonderful writer.

I adore Darsie Beck's beautifully written childhood memories of Vashon Island.
Therefore I'm also very interested in reading Darsie Beck's book. I'd appreciate some more info about Darsie Beck's book and artwork.

As I love Betty MacDonald's Nancy and Plum and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle they will be the subject of one of my next stories for Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.

Everybody is talking about next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honory member. I only know it's a famous artist and writer and President of a worldfamous Society. Who is it? I can't wait any longer.

Bye for now and enjoy your weekend!

Monica Sone Tribute by Wolfgang Hampel

I'm Margit,

Dear Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,

Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member Monica Sone celebrates her 91th birthday today.
Monica Sone is the author of Nisei Daughter. Monica Sone and her family had run a hotel in Seattle before Executive Order 9066 sent all West Coast Japanese Americans into exile.

http://www.washington.edu/uwpress/search/books/SONNIS.html

With charm, humor, and deep understanding, a Japanese American woman tells how it was to grow up on Seattle's waterfront in the 1930s and to be subjected to "relocation" dring World War II. Along with some 120,000 other persons of Japanese ancestry-77,000 of whom were U.S. citizens-she and her family were uprooted from their home and imprisoned in a camp. In this book, first published in 1953, she provides a unique personal account of these experiences.

"Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both fair and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally hilarious."-New York Herald Tribune

"The deepest impression that this unaffected, honest little story made on me was of smiling courage."-San Francisco Chronicle

Wolfgang Hampel, Monica Sone's friend, author of Betty MacDonald biography, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award sent his very special birthday wishes:

Dearest Monica,

we are so very happy to hear that you are well again and wish you a wonderful birthday today. A Million Times good health and all the best!

I was rereading your book Nisei Daughter and I have to tell you that I agree with your many international fans. I wished I could read many more books written by great author and unique personality Monica Sone.

I also agree with the New York Herald Tribune review of Nisei Daughter: Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both fair and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally hilarious.

Yes, that's it! Deeply touching, also occassionally hilarious! When I'm reading your great book ( Nisei Daughter belong to the VERY few books I'm reading over and over again ) I'm really deeply touched. I'm with you and your great family. I adore your outstanding book and even much more I adore your unique personality. You are a genius but very human and warm with a deep understanding and a golden heart.

The first time I heard your very warm voice I was lost. To me it's the most beautiful voice in the whole world. Voice and personality fit together in just a perfect way.

2010 was a very successful year for Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club.

Linde Lund and her Betty MacDonald Fan Club Event Team organized the Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Royal Wedding Event in Stockholm with many Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald fans from five continents.

They saw the swedish royal wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling.
Victoria is the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, and belongs to the Royal House of Bernadotte. Born as a Princess of Sweden, she was designated Crown Princess in 1979 ahead of her younger brother.

Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club sent a wedding present, books written by unique Monica Sone, Betty MacDonald and some Betty MacDonald Interviews by me, Wolfgang Hampel.
When I heard it I was very amazed. What do you think about this, dear Monica?
I hope Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling will enjoy it very much.

Thanks A Million for your friendship.

Although we are far away you and your family are always in our thoughts.

Many hugs and greetings especially from Master Peter to great Lady Monica.

Darling Peter said to me: Monica seems to get younger and younger and you are getting older and older. Before you look like an ooooolllllddd Wolf and act like a grandpa you should better ask Monica, what her secret is. Perhaps she might be able to help you. So Monica help me please, will you? It's really urgent. I'm awaiting your instructions.

We have a Royal Wedding Weather today with lots of sunshine. The sky is so blue and there are no clouds in the sky.

We wish you'll have the same 'Queensweather' and the most wonderful birthday ever.

All our love

Wolfgang, Angelika and Peter -
your old Wolf and your many fans worldwide

Betty MacDonald, Clyde Reynolds Jensen

Hi Sandrine, Cornelia, Morten, Anja, Anita, Eartha Kitt II and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,

I'm Jens,

Anita and Eartha Kitt II, in case you sent the huge and hard apple to the chicken praising poet I can only say: Well done, dear friend.

I'm very impressed of your research. How did you find all these info? Congratulations.

Good luck with your Betty MacDonald Fan Club story about Betty MacDonald, Robert Heskett, Donald MacDonald, Darsie Bard, Sydney Bard, Gammy, Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde Jensen, Sydney Cleveland Bard, Mary Alice Bard, Dorothea DeDe Goldsmith, Madge Baldwin, Don Woodfin, Perry Woodfin, Mike Gordon, Ma and Pa Kettle, Nancy and Plum, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and others.

It's a brilliant idea to ask our great Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honory Members, authors and artists Monica Sone, Darsie Beck and Gwen Grant about their experiences of chickens.
Monica Sone's book Nisei Daughter is very well written. A very important book. I wished I could read some more books written by Monica Sone, but it's the only one she ever wrote.
I'd love to have some more info of Darsie Beck's book and artwork.

Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honory Member and author Gwen Grant wrote a book about her experience of chickens. I'll order FOX FIRE soon.

This is very exciting. Who will be the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honory Member?
Who is the famous writer and artist and President of a world famous Society?

Let's talk about Mary Bard Jensen and her very kind and patient husband, Dr. Clyde Reynolds Jensen.
Some relatives of mine visited Seattle and met Dr. Clyde Jensen. It was many years after Mary Bard Jensen passed away. Clyde Reynolds Jensen valued Mary Bard's work very much and knew so many details. They had the same good marriage like Sydney and Darsie Bard. Dr. Clyde Reynolds Jensen's nickname was Jens. It's my surname. Funny!

Cornelia, listen to me, please. You wrote:

Dr. Clyde Reynolds Jensen answered my mother's millions of questions in a very friendly and detailed way. I'm not sure at all I would have done this because mother wanted to know everything. Mother is darling but can nerve sometimes. Dr. Clyde Reynolds Jensen shared very important info of Boulder, Butte, Seattle, Laurelhurst, Chimacum, Carmel, Carmel Valley, Vashon Island and Firland Sanatorium.

It was the same with my relatives. They wrote everything down Dr. Clyde Reynolds Jensen told them. I'll share it on Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. I'll have to ask my relatives because I remember there was even a tape with Clyde Reynolds Jensen's recorded voice.

I adore Alison Bard Burnett's goldies in Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald Interviews.
You can compare unique Alison Bard Burnett with her famous sister Betty MacDonald, although she never wrote a book of her own.

Thank you so much, dear Linde Lund. We can be very grateful that Linde Lund heard of Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald Interviews. Linde had the fascinating idea to share them with Betty MacDonald Fans from all over the world. Linde, you are great!

Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald interviews have fans in 26 countries. I bet there will be many more fans in the future.
Isn' t this amazing? Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett are born humorists. Both delight their fans from all over the world. I'd love to have a Wolfgang Hampel CD and DVD with his very funny poems and stories. What about a book? We adore Wolfgang Hampel's high humor and wit in Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and his wonderful Betty MacDonald interviews.

Morten, I agree. We have to find somebody like Mike Gordon, Bill Gates or Dagobert Duck who might be interested in purchasing Betty MacDonald's filmed interview.
Did you already ask your cousin? I'd die to see Betty MacDonald's filmed interview in colour.
I wished I'd be wealthy and prrrrominent. I'd buy Betty MacDonald's filmed interview in a minute.

Nice weekend.

Jens

Betty MacDonald, Dagobert Duck

Hello Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,

I'm Morten,

Anita, I know we'll enjoy your Betty MacDonald Fan Club Story about Betty MacDonald, Robert Eugene Heskett, Donald Chauncey MacDonald, Darsie Bard, Sydney Bard, Gammy, Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde Reynolds Jensen, Sydney Cleveland Bard, Mary Alice Bard, Dorothea DeDe Goldsmith, Madge Baldwin, Don Woodfin, Perry Woodfin, Mike Gordon, Ma and Pa Kettle, Nancy and Plum, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and others.

Sandrine, Anita, Anja and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans, when we listen to Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald interviews we are laughing all the time. The same happens while reading Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and his very funny poems and stories.
It's wonderful that there will be a new Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett CD and DVD. Alison Bard Burnett and Wolfgang Hampel share their golden laughter.
Anja, you mentioned one of your friends nearly fell off the chair while listening to them.
My aunt fell off the chair! It's not a joke. Auntie was ok but I agree laughter can be dangerous.

Who is our next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honory member? A famous writer and artist and President of a world famous Society?

We have to find somebody like Mike Gordon, Bill Gates or Dagobert Duck who might be interested in purchasing Betty MacDonald's filmed interview. It's such an important document and every Betty MacDonald Fan should see it. We need some wealthy and prrrrominent people to be successful. Let's be optimistic!
We'll make it!!!!!!!!! So sorry, I'm not Morten Harket. I'll ask my cousin Daniel who is very wealthy but also a miser. I hope he won't ever read this.

It's a very good idea to ask our great Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honory Members, authors and artists Monica Sone, Darsie Beck and Gwen Grant about their experiences of chickens.

What a surprise!
Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honory Member and author Gwen Grant even wrote a book about her experience of chickens. Thank you so much for sending this very interesting mail.

Yes, as it happens I do have some experience of chickens. When I was a girl, my father kept hens. And I actually wrote a book about keeping hens, FOX FIRE, and the different attitudes of two children to hens and foxes. We kept the hens at the bottom of the garden in a well protected, as we thought, hen run but one morning, we found them all dead. The foxes had got them. My Dad redoubled his efforts after this and the hen run eventually became so secure, it was all anyone could do to get in it to feed them!
The hens we had were a bit confrontational, I'm sorry to say, for when we went to get the eggs, we had to be careful as they would peck your hands. There were times though, when it was nice to go in and sometimes be allowed to stroke some feathers.

I'll draw a veil over the killing process when the hens were ready for the pot. I always made myself scarce at that point. However, my Mum taught me how to do everything from skinning and preparing a rabbit through gutting and cleaning a fish to plucking a chicken
and cleaning it ready for the pot. All I have to say to all of these activities is Yuk.

FOX FIRE - ISBN: 1-85213-337-6 - Orchard Books

Best wishes,

Gwen Grant

We can't wait to read Gwen Grant's book FOX FIRE.

Take care,

Morten
