Betty MacDonald interviews by Wolfgang Hampel

Goscha:

Bertil and Betty MacDonald fan club, thank yuo so much for your great work.

We appreciate it so much.

We are devoted Betty MacDonald and Wolfgang Hampel fans.

Wolfgang Hampel's very witty  Betty MacDonald interviews and his satirical poems  are the best.

Is it true that more Wolfgang Hampel interviews with Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett will be published in 2013?

Both are adorable.

We are huge fans of Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Letizia Mancino and our one and only Mr. Tigerli.
By the way you shouldn't be too critical with the russian girl.
Believe me, she does her very best.

Betty MacDonald fan club letter collection is most interesting and Betty MacDonald's life motto is the best I've ever heard of.

Bertil I agree, many countries could need creative and magical Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle who could solve huge problems with violence.


All the best for 2013,

Goscha

Betty MacDonald's real Mrs. Monday

Bertil:

We wish Linde Lund and Wolfgang Hampel the best Christmas ever.

As Linde Lund told us Wolfgang Hampel is going to share a very special Betty MacDonald Christmas surprise in Betty MacDonald fan club Christmas newsletter:

                The story of Betty MacDonald's real Mrs. Monday

Merry Christmas to wonderful Betty MacDonald fan club members and Betty MacDonald fan club honor members Gwen Grant, Darsie Beck, Letizia Mancino, Mary Holmes and Mr. Tigerli.

THANKS     A      MILLION   FOR     YOUR   OUTSTANDING    SUPPORT !

We'll never forgt first Betty MacDonald fan club honor member, late Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter and Kimi in Betty MacDonald's The plague and I.

I wished Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle had a cure against violence in the world.

Frida, that's a very good idea looking at Carl Larsson's pictures, reading Betty MacDonald's stories or listening to Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald interviews.

Wishing you, your families and friends a merry Christmas,

Bertil

Betty MacDonald and Carl Larsson

Frida:

Mathida, we enjoyed St. Lucia's day very much.

It'll be a very special Betty MacDonald Christmas gift reading Mary Bard Jensen's delightful letters with  some interesting family pics especially of very beloved Gammy.

Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard Jensen and whole Bard family celebrated Christmas in an unique way.

I don't know whether they ever heard of swedish artist and author Carl Larsson.

I think it's a great combination to look at Carl Larsson's artwork and reading Betty MacDonald's Christmas stories at the same time or listening to Wolfgang Hampel's unique  Betty MacDonald interviews.

My favourites are Carl Larsson's artwork 'Britta with candles and apples', Betty MacDonald's book Nancy and Plum and Wolfgang Hampel's very funny interview with Betty MacDonald's sister Alison Bard Burnett.

We wonder how Betty MacDonald darling  Mr. Tigerli celebrates Christmas.
We hope he'll be able to find a new personal assistent very soon.
Good luck, Mr. Tigerli!

Wishing you a peaceful and white Christmas although we are very depressed because of these tragic news from U.S.A.

Love,

Frida

Betty MacDonald's grandmother Gammy

Mathilda:

It's Saint Lucia's day today.

Do you celebrate it in your countries?

Angela, we really appreciate your Betty MacDonald letter contribution.

I have kind of a Betty MacDonald surprise for you.

I'll share several Mary Bard Jensen letters in Betty MacDonald fan club Christmas newsletter.

My grandmother send several letters to Betty MacDonald's sister Mary Bard Jensen and asked her many questions especially about Gammy.

Mary Bard Jensen answered every question in detail and even sent some very interesting family pics.

Wishing you a very nice Saint Lucia's day,

Mathilda

Betty MacDonald's publisher Lippincott

Aaltje:

Angela, thank you so much for the Betty MacDonald life motto item.

The life motto of Betty MacDonald's publisher Lippincott is fascinating.

Angela, thank you so much for your great contributions.

Anita,  you know how much I adore Eartha. You shouldn't behave like this.

Thank you so much, dear Betty MacDonald fan club dream team Letizia Mancino, Mary Holmes and Mr. Tigerli.

Federico, we enjoyed the Betty MacDonald meeting so much.

It was such a joy to meet Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel for the very first time.
I was very amazed because I awaited kind of an elderly grandpa.
I didn't know that Wolfgang Hampel is such a young guy.

When I told Wolfgang Hampel my thoughts he was laughing and said: Betty MacDonald fans remain young in their hearts.

Mr. Tigerli can be very grateful to have such an excellent speaker.

Thank you so much dear Betty MacDonald fans.

I love to be a Betty MacDonald fan club member.

Betty MacDonald Conference and Mr. Tigerli's speaker


Federico:

Angela, Betty MacDonald's letters are the best.

It's so interesting to know the life mottos of Darsie Bard, Betty MacDonald and the other family members.

Betty MacDonald fan club letter collection is my favourite.

Anita, be more careful with Eartha, please.

We need you both.

Thanks a million dear italian ' Betty MacDonald'  Letizia Mancino for sharing the new very funny and witty Mr. Tigerli story.

We love it and I agree Mr. Tigerli needs an excellent assistant.

Anita, I joined the Betty MacDonald Conference when Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel acted like Mr. Tigerli's speaker.

Wolfgang Hampel is a born humorist and the international Betty MacDonald fans had tons of fun.

We have lots of snow now.

I remember Betty MacDonald and her family living on Vashon Island without energy for several days.

We are so glad we have energy and enjoy our very cozy home.

Wishing you and your families a very nice second of advent,

Federico

Betty MacDonald fan club meeting

Anita and Eartha Kitt II:

Angela, it's such a joy reading Betty MacDonald's unique letter.

This life motto perfectly fits to Betty MacDonald's personality.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Sascha, it's true: Every  realistic and optimistic person should have this motto.

Eartha  and I are working on a new Betty MacDonald fan club item.
You'll hear from us soon.

We'd like to praise our other very  funny Betty MacDonald fan club darlings:
Letizia Mancino, Mary Holmes and Mr. Tigerli.

Eartha and I are delighted. Thank you darlings.
We hope so much many more stories will come in the future.

A word directly to Mr. Tigerli:  Mr. Tigerli, you don't need the russian girl.

Eartha is watching your photos and I can see how much she is in love with you.

By the way I heard Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel recently met many international Betty MacDonald fans among them from countries where many people usually dislike cats.

These Betty MacDonald fans however are fond of Mr. Tigerli.

A Betty MacDonald fan described the situation: They asked Wolfgang Hampel millions of questions about Mr. Tigerli. Wolfgang Hampel  knows Mr. Tigerli very well and answered every question in detail.

So what? It doesn't surprise me at all.

Famous Mr. Tigerli needs a  very good staff. He obviously got  an excellent international speaker.

Betty MacDonald Memorial Award Winner Wolfgang Hampel did a perfect job.

I have more good news for Mr. Tigerli.

As I already mentioned: I know the ideal candidate for working as Mr. Tigerli's personal 'licking'  assistent.

Eartha darling, don't give me such a cold look, please.  Oh yes, it was only a joke. Forgive me, please.
I won't do it again.

Eartha seems to say: Anita, it was a very bad joke indeed. It would be better for you not to repeate it or something terrible might happen...................

I won't because I  know very well: Eartha can be rather dangerous if she is furious and she really is....................

Oh dear, what have I done?


Anita & Eartha Kitt II

Betty MacDonald's excellent life motto

Sascha:

Betty MacDonald Newsletter December is very interesting.

Angela's Betty MacDonald letter contribution is outstanding.

After reading Betty MacDonald's life motto I'd say: It's the best life motto I've ever heard of.

Dear Letizia Mancino and Mary Holmes, thank you so much for sharing this great Mr. Tigerli story.

We enjoy it very much.

We should do everything to make Mr. Tigerli feel happy.

I'm kind of  disappointed with the russian girl. You don't behave like this.

After all Mr. Tigerli is a Superstar with so many international Betty MacDonald fan club fans.

Mr. Tigerli really deserves a better behaviour.

Sascha

Betty MacDonald fan club treasure

Ellen:

our very ill Betty MacDonald fan club member are always in our thoughts and we wish them all the best.

We need them so much.


Today is the first of Advent and it's snowing for hours.

Irina, I was rereading Betty MacDonald's Anybody can do anything a minute ago and had to laugh aloud.
Betty MacDonald's experiences in the mountains are priceless.

I guess I'm a bit like Betty MacDonald.

I enjoy snow and walking through fresh air but I dislike sports.

I wonder whether Mr. Tigerli likes snow.

When is Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter December available?

I ask because I'd like to read the new Betty MacDonald fan club treasure about Betty MacDonald's life motto.

I have to stop  now because there is enough snow to build a snowman with my husband and children.

Wishing you and your families a very nice first of Advent,

Ellen

Betty MacDonald in Anybody can do anything

Irina:

We wish a million times good health to our Betty MacDonald fan club members.

If we remain strong there is always hope.


How would Betty MacDonald feel if she lived with us?

We have lots of snow here and it's very cold.

I heard we'll have the coldest winter since twenty years.

Let it snow!

Do you remember what Betty MacDonald wrote in Anybody can do anything?

Lena, it'll be very interesting to read Betty MacDonald's letter explaining her life motto.

Kind of a new Betty MacDonald treasure!

Irina

Betty MacDonald's life motto

Lena:

Although Betty MacDonald fan club members are very sad and depressed now we'd like to mention some very good Betty MacDonald news.

We are going to share an original Betty MacDonald letter.

Betty MacDonald explains her life motto.

see Betty MacDonald's life motto, Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter December, page 2

Betty MacDonald's life motto is fascinating and we shouldn't forget it especially in dark times.


Love,

Lena

Betty MacDonald members seriously ill

Denise:

Greta, we are very sorry but it's a sad fact that two popular Betty MacDonald fan club members are very seriously ill.

More info Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter December page 1

My heart would break.

A very depressed Greta

We have some very sad Betty MacDonald fan club news.

Some outstanding Betty MacDonald fan club members are seriously ill.

Betty MacDonald's boss

Tomasz:

Hi Anita and Eartha Kitt II,

it's fascinating to hear about your new Betty MacDonald projects.

I'll contribute a letter written by Betty MacDonald.
Betty describes in detail her relationship with her pets.

My english friend shared this Betty MacDonald letter with me. She gave me the permission to share it with Betty MacDonald fan club members.

Betty MacDonald's letters are the most important documents.

Can you remember the last sentence in Betty MacDonald's The egg and i?

The hen is the boss. I'd say it's the cat.

We are so excited to read new Mr. Tigerli stories.

I asked Stine when it'll be published. Stine told she had some serious problems with the computer.

Be a patient, please. Imagine you were a cat and hunting a mouse........

I'm sure we can read the new Mr. Tigerli story soon.

I mention this because I know how many fans Mr. Tigerli has.

I'm very curious to read more about Mr. Tigerli's  russian girl.

November isn't a problem even if weather is very grey.


Thank you,

Tomasz

Betty MacDonald fan club item

Henrik:

Anita & Eartha Kitt II you are our best Betty MacDonald fan club research team.

We love our two cats and dogs.

We have no dog like Betty MacDonald's Tudor but our cats are a bit like Eartha and Mr. Tigerli.

We know your new Betty MacDonald fan club item will be outstanding.

It'll be a wonderful surprise learning more about Mr. Tigerli's new activities.

Are there any news of the russian girl?

Have a nice November Sunday with your darling pets,

Henrik

Betty MacDonald's cats

Anita & Eartha Kitt II:

We hope you'll enjoy our next Betty MacDonald fan club story about Betty MacDonald and her cats.

Petronella, Eartha and I are looking forward to read your story about Christmas with Betty MacDonald and her family.

Do you think it's true? I do!
Dictators like dogs, artists prefer cats.

You can't educate a cat. They educate us.

I know Eartha and Mr. Tigeli agree with me.
Betty MacDonald's dog Tudor won't.

I have a feeling that Eartha is a bit jealous of Mr. Tigerli's russian girl.

Eartha would like to sit with Mr. Tigerli under the Christmas tree.

Eartha gives me a very cold look after writing this sentence.

Excuse me, please Eartha. I won't do it again.

Sunny November greetings,

Anita & Eartha Kitt II

Christmas with Betty MacDonald

Petronella:

Bea and Yaroslav, I'd like to join Betty MacDonald fan club research team.

My mother wrote to Betty MacDonald and her sister Mary Bard Jensen.

As our family loves Christmas as much as Betty MacDonald's family mother wanted to know everything about Christmas celebration in the Bard family.

We adore Alison Bard Burnett's delightful Christmas stories in her interviews with Wolfgang Hampel.
Sister Dede sounds wonderful in Alison Bard Burnett's memories.

Mother got several very insideful letters and photos  from Betty and Mary.

You'll see very huge Christmas trees, family members, decoration, gifts and much more.

Don't laugh about me, please.

I know I shouldn't talk so much about Christmas in November but you can read some golden Christmas stories in Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter December.

I wonder what sort of Christmas dear Mr. Tigerli is going to celebrate?
Will Mr. Tigerli sit with his russian girl under the Christmas tree?

Anyway - have a good time,

Petronella

Betty MacDonald Collection

Yaroslav:

My grandmother owns a huge Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen collection.

There are Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen letters with family pictures in it.

Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter December includes my Betty MacDonald essay with all these info.

My family, friends and I are devoted Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard Jensen, Alison Bard Burnett, Wolfgang Hampel and Mr. Tigerli fans.

Hoping Mr. Tigerli takes care for his russian girl.

Viola let's sail away to find new treasures every day.

As Barack Obama says: Yes we can and we will!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Having no problems with grey November,

Yaroslav

Betty MacDonald's magical days

Viola.

Pascal, this Betty MacDonald letter is very important for our future research.

Thank you.

Katrine, these lines describing childhood are very poetic and true.

                          As adults we should do the same:

                          Let's sail away
                          to find new treasures every day.

This is the motto of our big family.

My sisters and I are writing funny plays and every family member has a role.

We have lots of fun doing this.

Betty MacDonald liked every day life and did the very same.

I'm convinced this is the secret of having a very joyful and exciting life.

Although some rather negative bores won't believe it: There is always something new under the sun after all those years and it's such a magical moment and happy feeling to find it.

I know Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli and his russian girl had some every exciting adventures in the meantime.

Come on Mr. Tigerli, share them with us, please.

Looking out of the window it's such a very sunny November day today and I'll work in our garden.

J'aime la vie.

Take care and enjoy yourself,

Viola

Betty MacDonald's famous dog Tudor

Bea:

Pascal, thank you for your contribution.

Reading this special Betty MacDonald letter about her favourite authors and books will be fascinating as always.

Our Betty MacDonald fan club research team with Frank, Doris, Maria, Robert and me is working on Betty MacDonald's life in photos.

You can see some of Betty MacDonald's, Mary Bard Jensen's and Alison Bard Burnett's family members for the very first time, even beloved grandmother Gammy and Betty MacDonald's famous dog Tudor.

I'm laughing all the time while reading Wolfgang Hampel's very witty poems.
It makes my day although I'm still a bit tired and I dislike old grey November.

You have to know I'm what Betty MacDonald described as morning hater.

My love to Betty MacDonald fan club fans, Wolfgang Hampel, Mr. Tigerli and his russian girl,

Bea

Betty MacDonald's favourite books

Pascal:

I'll share a letter by Betty MacDonald.

Betty MacDonald tells about her favourite authors and books  in this letter.

Katrine, the author you mentioned is Karel Capek.

Karel Capek is one of my favourite writers.

When will Mr. Tigerli share his new adventures?

Have a very nice November with your favourite authors and  books for example by Betty MacDonald and Karel Capek,


Pascal

Betty MacDonald gift in November

Antoni:

Dear Katrine, Betty MacDonald fan club fans, old and new ones,

We got an update.

Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mary Holmes finished the translation of  new very exciting and funny experienes of our world famous Mr. Tigerli.

Thank you so much dear Letizia Mancino, Mary Holmes and Mr. Tigerli for sharing this Betty MacDonald fan club gift.

Mr. Tigerli has so many fans all over the world. One could be jealous but we are not because everybody  adores him.
Betty MacDonald fan club fans want to know everything about Mr. Tigerli, even if he is a Democrat or a Republican.

Boy oh Boy I'm so curious what Mr. Tigerli has to say. Is he happy with Barack Obama's great victory?

I am and most of us are.

Katrine, I'm very sorry but I don't know the author you mentioned in your posting.

It sounds very poetic but true.

In our childhood we are sailing away every day to find new treasures.

Sounds a bit like Mr. Piggle-Wiggle, husband of Betty MacDonald's Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle.
Perhaps we should ask Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle for a cure against very grey, old, cold and rainy November?

We don't have to ask her because as Betty MacDonald fans you won't have any boring times even in November.

Katrine, I'd die to know who is this terrible bore? I'm afraid this bore won't ever find any treasures.

There are so many reasons to be happy and to laugh every day.

I was in a bad mood today but after reading some of Wolfgang Hampel's satirical firework I couldn't stop laughing.

The same miracle always happens while listening to Wolfgang Hampel and Betty MacDonald's beloved sister Alison Bard Burnett. Both are too funny.

You can see golden sunshine even on a very grey, old, cold and rainy November day.

Wishing you a very cozy home instead of staying on a chicken ranch in the mountains,

Antoni

Betty MacDonald's treasures

Katrine:

Olexander, I love this great ABBA song  THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL.

It perfectly fits to Barack Obama's great victory.

I posted  Betty MacDonald's treasures on Betty MacDonald fan club blog.

http://bettymacdonaldfanclub.blogspot.com/

I hope you'll enjoy it.

We are the Mike Gordon research team and you'll be able to  read several  letters by Betty MacDonald's friend Mike Gordon.

We have very active Betty MacDonald fan club honor members.

Mr. Tigerli, you are a bit slowly at the current time although I have to say I'll be patient because I'm convinced I'll enjoy the new  story very much.

Thank you darling!

Katrine

Betty MacDonald's letters and Wolfgang Hampel's poems

Olexander:

I guess Betty MacDonald would like Barack Obama's re-election very much.

I remember this beautiful Abba song: The winner takes it all.

Dear Pieter, Olof is talking about 2012.

Betty MacDonald's The egg and i is the most popular book in this country.

No chance for Harry Potter!

Pieter, in case you don't find the answer you might ask our dear Betty MacDonald fan club member Mr. Tigerli.

Mr. Tigerli and his russian girl will support you.

Betty MacDonald's letters are as excellent as her books.

Our other favourites are Wolfgang Hampel's adorable poems.

Reading Betty MacDonald's very funny letters and Wolfgang Hampel's very witty poems you have golden laughter all the time.

Thank you so much for this gift, guys.

Olexander

Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I Nr. 1 in history

Pieter:

Karlis, I just heard that Barack Obama is also the winner in Florida.

We are very glad about Barack Obama's outstanding result.

I'm very happy to learn that Betty MacDonald supported the Democrats.

Reading Betty MacDonald's letters describing her political statements is fascinating.

I adore this lady. Betty MacDonald's books  aren't dated and so are her letters.

Betty MacDonald is popular all over the world but I have a problem with Olof's question.

Olof mentioned Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I is the most popular book ever in a country.

About which time frame is Olof talking about?

Olof and Betty MacDonald fan club fans thank you for your information.

When will be the new Mr. Tigerli essays available?

Perhaps Mr. Tigerli and his russian girl can help me to find the answer.

Pieter

Friday, November 9, 2012

Betty MacDonald's political statements

Karlis:

Malte, Frida we are happy indeed.

Barack Obama deserves four more years.

Frida, Lisa, we know your Betty MacDonald story will be very interesting.

The political debates in the Bard family are the opposite of boring.

I'm not surprised at all that Betty MacDonald supported the Democrates but was she really the only one in the Bard family? To me this is amazing.

Thinking of Mr. Tigerli I ask myself: Is he a Democrat or Republican?

What does the russian girl think?

I know our very bright Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli will give us an answer.

Excuse me, please.

I have so many questions because I'm very curious to know.........................

Have a happy day,

Karlis

Thursday, November 8, 2012

Betty MacDonald supported Democratic Party

Frida:

Malte, very good news that Barack Obama has been re-elected.

I agree Betty MacDonald would have been delighted.

Researching Betty MacDonald's letters it seems Betty MacDonald was the only supporter of the Democratic Party in the Bard family.

I'm working with Lisa on a report about this.

I heard we can read some new stories of beloved Mr. Tigerli very soon.

That's very good to hear.

Frida

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

Barack Obama four more years

Malte:

My family and friends are very glad.

Barack Obama has been re-elected.

Betty MacDonald would be very happy.

We can read in several Betty MacDonald letters she supported the Democratic Party.

A good day for America and the world,

Malte

Betty MacDonald most popular writer

Olof:

Nora thank you very much for sharing this link.

Bring back Betty MacDonald is very well written but in fact we don't have to bring back Betty MacDonald.

Betty MacDonald is very popular in many countries.

Betty MacDonald is extremely successful in a country.
THE EGG AND I is the most popular book ever in this country although there are so many Harry Potter books.

You can believe it. It's true.

Do you know about which country I'm talking about?

If you know the answer send a mail to my account, please and you'll receive a special Betty MacDonald fan club surprise.

( see Betty MacDonald fan club Newsletter November, Page 1 )

The answer isn't too difficult. I'm sure our very clever Mr. Tigerli knows the answer.
Hopefully Mr. Tigerli's new very exciting experiences will come soon.

We'd need some sunshine in our hearts because of very grey November.

Good luck, dear Betty MacDonald fan club fans.

Looking forward to hear from you,

Olof

Thank you so much for the link.

Betty MacDonald letter about Robert Eugene Heskett

Nele:

Jacoba, you can read a Betty MacDonald letter describing the difficulties of the marriage with Robert Eugene  Heskett in Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter November.

Thank you so much for your contributions.

It'll be great to read international reviews of Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard Jensen's books.

I'm rereading Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I and the weather perfectly fits in the depressing November scene.

November in the woods on a chicken farm? Never! I would have left within a minute.

I'm sitting in the living room without a big fire but with Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I in my hand.

Wishing you, Mr. Tigerli and his russian girl a very nice Sunday,

Nele

Reviews of Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard Jensen's books

Jacoba:

Marie, thank you so much for your very warm welcome and kind advice.

I didn't know that Betty MacDonald's marriage with Robert Eugene Heskett was so difficult and complicated.

Your mentioned blog review of The Egg and I and Linde Lund's comments are very interesting.

I can understand the reason why Betty MacDonald left Robert Eugene Heskett in 1931 and never mentioned him again.

I'll contribute a collection of international reviews of Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard Jensen's books.
I hope they will make an interesting read.

I appreciate your great work.

I don't like Mondays and November.

My love to Betty MacDonald fan club members and Mr. Tigerli,

Jacoba

Betty MacDonald's marriage with Robert Eugene Heskett

Marie:

Dearest Jacoba welcome to Betty MacDonald fan club.

You mentioned that readers today have problems with the way Betty MacDonald described the indians in The egg and I.

That's a very serious and important subject.

For more info read this blog, please

Christmas 1927 - Betty MacDonald

www.semicolonblog.com/?p=16204

It's a very interesting review.

Don't miss Linde Lund's comments, please.


November wasn't Betty MacDonald's favourite month.

I agree. I don't like it when the sky is grey. It's raining all the time and there are no blooming flowers and singing birds.

Because of this I wish you a very cozy home with a big fire in the living room and a  good book to read.

I hope very cute Betty MacDonald fan club member Mr. Tigerli enjoyes a very cozy home with a big fire and not to forget his russian girl....................

Mr. Tigerli deserves the best.

Betty MacDonald and Indians

Jacoba:

There are readers who have problems with the way Betty MacDonald described the Indians in The egg and I.

I'm from the Netherlands and I'd like to discuss it with you.

What do you think was the reason Betty MacDonald described the Indians in such a way?

I hope the new updated Betty MacDonald biography includes some more facts  regarding this very important subject.

I adore Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald biography and his interviews.
I hope Wolfgang Hampel is going to continue his outstanding work.

Many greetings to Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli and the russian girl.

What a pleasure to read these delightful stories.

Love,

Jacoba

Betty MacDonald's salt and pepper

Finn:

Betty MacDonald fan club has the best Betty MacDonald research teams.

We recently got so many very important information.

Therefore we are very busy. We are working on a new updated Betty MacDonald biography.

Dear Betty MacDonald fans from all over the world be a bit patient, please.

Thank you so much for your outstanding contributions.

We got  many Betty MacDonald letters, documents, photos and many other items.

Darsie Bard's and Gammy's letters belong to the most important ones we've ever got.

We are very grateful indeed.

Thanks a million for your outstanding support.

You can read some new very funny poems by Wolfgang Hampel in Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter November.
Wolfgang Hampel's satirical poems are as entertaining as his Betty MacDonald biography and the interviews.
New Betty MacDonald interviews by Wolfgang Hampel will be published in 2013.

Paula, I guess your sister is in trouble very often if her dog Mike behaves the same way Betty MacDonald's Tudor did.
I had to laugh so hard because you describe these situations as too much salt and pepper in life.
I agree. We all need salt and pepper but too much of it  can be dangerous because it means stress.

How is our very popular Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli doing?

More Mr. Tigerli stories, please. They are our salt and pepper and in this case we need them very much.

Thank you so much.

Yours,

Finn

Betty MacDonald biography

Paula:

We are very proud and grateful having several excellent Betty MacDonald fan club research teams.

Thanks a Million especially dear Anita & Eartha Kitt II, Sören, Beat, Bob, Martine and many other very active Betty MacDonald fan club research teams.

They found the most important and interesting Betty MacDonald documents, photos, letters and many other items.

There is such a lot of important new Betty MacDonald stuff for a new updated Betty MacDonald biography.

Next Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter includes many new fascinating Betty MacDonald research results.

I know it's a running Betty MacDonald fan club gag but I have to repete it now: It's always something new under the sun after all those years.

It's a feeling like Christmas finding these unique Betty MacDonald gifts.

It's great having pictures of Betty MacDonald's very special and brave dog Tudor.
Do you remember the broken windows in Onions in the Stew?

We know this very well because my sister's dog Mike acts like Tudor.
Poor Betty MacDonald and my sister Vera!
Having dogs like this your life is never boring. Just the opposite!
It's like salt and pepper but sometimes too much of it if you ask me.

Speaking of exciting pets we are very curious to read more of Mr. Tigerli's adventures.

We wonder how the russian girl is doing.

By the way don't you think Betty MacDonald's Tudor and Letizia Mancino's Mr. Tigerli would be an ideal couple?

Betty MacDonald's pets

Lars:

Betty MacDonald fan club photo collection is so fascinating.

It's great to have photos of Betty MacDonald's pets, especially one of my favourites, her darling dog Tudor.

I can't stop laughing when I'm reading Betty MacDonald's experiences with Tudor in Onions in the Stew.

If you have Tudor and Mr. Tigerli in your household you can write many very funny stories.

I know what I'm talking about.

We have two dogs and cats!

Betty MacDonald's grandfather

Saga:

Aada, it's great you have a photo of Betty MacDonald's dog Tudor.

I like Tudor in Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew so much.

I have wonderful Betty MacDonald fan club news.

I know a Betty MacDonald fan who owns a photo of Betty MacDonald's grandfather and wants to share it with us.

I hope we'll be able to read a new funny story of our beloved Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli.

Betty MacDonald's Tudor and Letizia Mancino's Mr. Tigerli are my favourites.

Cheers,

Did you ever see Betty MacDonald's crazy doy Tudor described in Onions in the Stew?

Mr. Tigerli you don't have to be jealous at all.

Although we like Tudor you are our favourite darling.

I'm so sad that I'd could need some more funny experiences of our Betty MacDonald fan club honor member, dear Mr. Tigerli.

      THANKS    A    MILLION   DEAR   LINDE    LUND  !


We are very sad that Betty MacDonald fan club member, author Peter Sieruta passed away at the age of only 53.

It's Peter Sieruta's 54 th birthday today. Peter was sending the most beautiful birthday cards. He was so sweet and had an outstanding memory.

While writing these lines I have tears in my eyes.

We miss very brilliant and warm Peter Sieruta very much.

I was rereading Monica Sone's excellent book NISEI DAUGHTER.

We miss our first Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Monica Sone so much.

Betty MacDonald biography

Tessa:

Excellent Betty MacDonald fan club news in October!

Betty MacDonald Memorial Award Winner Wolfgang Hampel is working on a new Betty MacDonald biography and documentary with lots of new interviews, photos and documents.

( Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter October page 1 )

http://bettymacdonaldsociety.blogspot.com/2010/08/betty-macdonald-fan-club-items.html

http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com


I can understand Betty MacDonald's very depressing kitchen experiences with male cooks very well.

Ella and other fans, I'm a very lucky woman because my husband doesn't want to cook.
( I can only hope he won't ever change his mind )

I just visited Letizia Mancino's magical Betty MacDonald Gallery.

http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery_3

Don't forget to visit beloved Mr. Tigerli, please.

Betty MacDonald's house demolished

Brigitte:

I was rereading Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew.

See  comment regarding my kitchen experiences :

http://bettymacdonaldfanclub.blogspot.com

It's really very sad that Betty MacDonald's house near Roosevelt High School had been demolished.

Don't miss the Betty MacDonald DVD with Betty MacDonald's delightful sister Alison Bard Burnett and very witty Wolfgang Hampel visiting the Bard house.
You can see house, rooms and the yard.

http://alisonbard.blogspot.com

Seattle and Washington State should honor a gifted writer like Betty MacDonald but it seems reality looks different.

Many Betty MacDonald fans donated very important letters and documents and we can learn more about this unique writer every day.

What about a Betty MacDonald documentary with this new material?.

We really should do this.

We hope some more  Betty MacDonald interviews by Wolfgang Hampel will be available in the future.

http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com

As devoted Mr. Tigerli and Letizia Mancino fans we can't wait to read about the new Betty MacDonald experiences.

http://letiziamancino.wix.com/prettycat

http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com

We'll have a new Betty MacDonald Contest in October.
You'll receive the info soon. Take part, please because Lasse won't win this time.
OK, Lasse.

You can win the most interesting Betty MacDonald items.

Betty MacDonald Collection

Rena:

We have wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club news.

Very important Betty MacDonald items for Betty MacDonald Fan Club Collection.

Read the fascinating story in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter October, please.

Yes, indeed dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans!

There is always something new under the sun after all those years. You only have to find it.

Ella, poor darling I can understand you very well because I know your situation.

What can we do?

Betty MacDonald's grandmother Gammy would say: Men are pigs. Don't allow them to go to your kitchen.

I'm a bit afraid we can't act so strict. I won't.
In fact we like men!  Excuse us, please Gammy.

Perhaps Mr. Tigerli or our new Betty MacDonald from Italy know the answer.

Thank you so much in advance for your very wise thoughts.


You can find  my Eurovision Top votes:

 http://bettymacdonaldfanclub.blogspot.com


I don't understand the reason why some countries like Italy, Germany, Ukraine and UK got so less points.

I have no idea!

Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew

Ella:


We  enjoy Mr. Tigerli's website very much.

http://letiziamancino.wix.com/prettycat

Thomas, I don't know what Mr. Tigerli or Letizia Mancino say to this.

I agree with Betty MacDonald and Elizabeth.

I'd say men and women are very different but they need each other.

I have the same experiences like Betty MacDonald with husbands Bob and Don.

My second husband Paul  is much better than my first one was.

We are very happy.

I always have to laugh when I'm reading Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew.

Betty's descriptions of beloved but rather strange husband Donald MacDonald are priceless.

Everything is true especially the way men behave as cooks in the kitchen.

Our kitchen looks like a battlefield.

Therefore I'm very much afraid when dear Paul says: Ella,  I have a huge surprise for you.
I'm the cook today.

OH NOOOOOO! I have to work for hours and hours in the kitchen after such an event..

Paul is an excellent cook and I enjoy his results very much  but as Betty MacDonald tells us in Onions in the Stew:  He behaves typical man!

Thomas, I don't want to add anything more. It's enough, don't you think.

After all I agree with your Eurovision votes.

Ukraine should be the winner.  Sweden, Germany, Russia, Latvia and UK are my other favourites.

Thomas I have to go back to my  kitchen now.

I could cry.

What a mess!

Paul was cooking yesterday..................

Betty MacDonald's women and men

Thomas:

My dear Hans,  I had to laugh so hard  because I know you very well

Perhaps you are this Hans in Betty MacDonald's Anybody can do anything.

Could be, yes it could be.

Alhough we have a very happy marriage my dear wife recently said: men and women can't live together.

They are too different.

I gave her a very strange look and my darling said:  Thomas dear,  read what Betty MacDonald wrote about it and you'll know what I'm talking about.

http://bryanelizabeth.blogspot.com/2009/08/egg-and-i-by-betty-macdonald.html

Betty MacDonald fan Elizabeth wrote:   Soooooo much truth. It's killing me.

Come on dear Betty MacDonald fans,  I'm awating your feedback. Thank you.

Is it true what Betty MacDonald wrote?

My Eurovision favourites are:  Ukraine ( best singer), Sweden, Serbia, Germany, Russia, UK.

I'm working with Peter and Beat on a new Betty MacDonald Fan Club item entitled

                          The truth of Betty MacDonald's friend Hans

So you can imagine that I had to smile reading the story in Laura's Blog.

Wenche, I know Sunny would be the perfect lover  for Mr. Tigerli. Good luck!

Betty MacDonald in Washington State

Wenche:

Daniel & Betty MacDonald fans,

Betty MacDonald Fan Club Paralympics Meeting in London was outstanding.

Monica Sone Memorial was very touching.

By the way I wasn't familiar with the fact that Monica Sone has so many fans.

http://monicasone.blogspot.com

We miss our first Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Monica Sone so much because she was
so human, witty and wise.

http://funeralhomesweb.com/Wackerly_Funeral_Home/webcast/1553


Beloved Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member, writer and artist Letizia Mancino, so called 'italian Betty',  recently visited state of Washington.

http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com

We'd love to read about her Betty MacDonald journey.

Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen should be honored in Washington State.

I was very sad when I learned that Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard Jensen's house near Roosevelt High School in Seattle has been demolished.

http://marybardsociety.blogspot.com

Is the DVD with Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel and Betty MacDonald's  sister Alison Bard Burnett visiting this house, already available?
The Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett DVD's are our favourites.
We are crazy about them. Both are so funny.

http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com

http://alisonbard.blogspot.com

Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen should be honored.

Especially Betty MacDonald described region and nature in her unique books.

Many writers and artists came to Seattle and Washington after reading the books.

http://bettymacdonaldfanclub.blogspot.com/search?q=artists+enjoy+biography

Greta and I did an extensive reserach about this subject.

You can read the amazing result in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter October.

We got a mail from a Betty MacDonald fan. She wants to see STOVE.
No problem! Visit this site, please and you can see Betty MacDonald's best friend STOVE and other historical photos:

What about our new famous Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member, Mr. Tigerli?

http://letiziamancino.wix.com/prettycat

We are visiting Mr. Tigerli's new website quiete often because Sunny fell madly in love with Mr. Tigerli.
I wonder whether Sunny has a chance. You have to know, Sunny is a lady.

Perhaps Letizia Mancino or Mr. Tigerli could send us an answer.

It's really urgent. Thank you so much.

By the way my Eurovision Song Contest favourite is Ukraine.
Ukraine, 12 points.
If I'm in a bad mood I'm listening to this song.

With much love and miiiiiiiiaaaaaaaauuuuuuuu

Betty MacDonald's sad experiences with a mouse

Lasse:

Greta, thank you so much for your congratulations.

I  was lucky indeed to win Betty MacDonald Fan Club Contest.

The answer was rather easy and many Betty MacDonald fan club fans around the world took part.

You can find the answer in Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew, Chapter IX, Other friends and enemies.

Betty MacDonald felt rather guilty when the little mouse died. Husband Donald MacDonald killed her with a trap. A rather sad story.

Letizia Mancino's mouse story is very witty and it even has a Happy End.

Greta, that's right. There is only one thing we dislike.

Our new Betty MacDonald fan club honor member, Mr. Tigerli should have a better lover than his current one.

There are really very important actions like FREE PUSSY RIOT and we support it very much.

There  should be also an action BETTER LOVER FOR MR: TIGERLI:

We hope Letizia Mancino and her husband enjoyed their stay in Washington State.
We can't wait to read about their experiences.
Thanks a lot.

Hi guys, I know you enjoy Paralympics in London very, very  much. I know you will rock London and I wished I could join you.

I got a mail from London that Ben found a very interesting copy of Mary Bard Jensen's book FORTY ODD. If you are lucky enough you can find the most important items.

Ben is writing a report for Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.

Wolfgang Hampel will continue to delight Betty MacDonald fans around the world with his outstanding poems as he does with his unique Betty MacDonald interviews and biographies.

What about the new Eva Vargas project?

Wishing you the best,

Happy Lasse

All our love to Letizia Mancino, Mary Holmes and Mr. Tigerli,  who deserves a better lover.

We have members in 40 countries now and some of them joined us in London.

We all should support FREE PUSSY RIOT actions.
( see FREE PUSSY RIOT article in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter September 2012)

May the best win and believe me we have such a great time here in London.

How are you, guys.

I'm fine. It's September, the sun is shining and I haves some great Betty MacDonald news for you.

Lasse is winner of Betty MacDonald Fan Club Contest.

He found the answer in Onions in the stew.

Letizia Mancino was visiting Washington State with her husband.

That's very good to hear and we hope Letizia Mancino is going to share some of her funny experiences with us.

Thanks a lot for creating the new Mr. Tigerli website.

I guess Mr. Tigerli has this special relationship because Letizia Mancino is much more interested in excellent art and literature.

Poor Mr. Tigerli. It's a shame, isn't it.

We should support the described  FREE PUSSY RIOT activities because these groups are very brave.
Send your feedback, please.
Thank you, guys.

Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel is going to share some of his new very satirical poems.

Did you hear that Washington State is looking for names for two new ferries?

What about Betty MacDonald or Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle?

I believe Betty MacDonald should be honored.

What's your opinion?

A very important subject. I'm writing a Betty MacDonald Fan Club story.

I like most  these  Eurovision entries: Serbia, Russia, Italy, Latvia and United Kingdom.

It's great to join Betty MacDonald Fan Club Olympic Meeting in London.

As I'm from Switzerland we are so glad because we won a gold medal yesterday.
I feel sorry for Sweden because they deserved a gold medal too.
By the way I'm not the Olympic Champion.

Beat, I agree. It was such a shame what swiss Eurovision Song Contest jury did in 1981.
Germany's singer Lena Valaitis with Johnny Blue is one my all time Eurovision Song Contest favourites. My Nr. 1 in 1981.

The 5 best songs this year ( opinion of 3 ladies of our family, mother, daugher and myself )
Sweden, Serbia, United Kingdom, Germany and Russia.
We adore russian grandmothers and their dancing STOVE and we are in love with this very good looking german guy Roman Lob and his very beautiful song composed by british composers.

Don't be sad, United Kingdom. As you can see we are huge Engelbert fans.
Forget Eurovision Song Contest. Your excellent Olympic team won four gold medals yesterday.

We are singing Congratulations by Cliff Richard for our many british Betty MacDonald Fans.

We feel very sad when I'm reading that Betty MacDonald's house in Seattle has been demolished.
We are not able to understand it because Seattle and Washington State can be very proud on world famous author Betty MacDonald and unique Bard family.

However it's a very good Betty MacDonald Fan Club idea to publish a special Betty MacDonald house DVD.

We adore Betty MacDonald's very witty sister Alison Bard Burnett and Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel. We enjoy his former interviews very much.

Who is visiting the Betty MacDonald region right now?
It might be Wolfgang Hampel with new interviews or Gwen Grant or Letizia Mancino?
Come on, let us know, please.

I have a Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen surprise for you.

I met a Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen fan who told me she had some Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen letters.

We'll cooperate and are writing a Betty MacDonald story for Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.

Many greetings from London,

Betty MacDonald's house demolished

Claus:

Bert, thank you so much for your successful research.

We can't wait to read Mary Bard Jensen's sad letter.

I have sad news.

Betty MacDonald's house in University District has  been demolished on July 24, 2012.

Although this is really kind of sad I have great Betty MacDonald Fan Club News.

Betty MacDonald Fan Club is going to publish a special Betty MacDonald house DVD.

You can see Betty MacDonald's beloved and very funny sister Alison Bard Burnett visiting the house near Roosevelt High School with Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel.

As you can imagine our unique Betty MacDonald Fan Club couple has lots of fun and Alison Bard Burnett shares golden Bard family memories with her family and famous sisters Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen.

You can see  house, rooms and garden.
I'll watch the Betty MacDonald house DVD while reading Betty MacDonald's very warm descriptions in Anybody can do anything.

Who is in Washington State at the current time?
I hope we can read the experiences soon.

Good luck with this very special Betty MacDonald journey.

I wished I could be with our international Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans in London but it wasn't possible because of my job.

Betty MacDonald biography

Bert:

Betty MacDonald Fan Club Olympic Meeting in London is great.

Mara & Brit & Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans, I found a first UK edition of Betty MacDonald's  Who, me?

There are two letters in the book.

The former owner of this copy wrote to Betty MacDonald in November 1957.

He got a very sad letter from Betty MacDonald's sister Mary Bard Jensen.

( see Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter August Page 4 )

Exciting news.

One of our beloved  Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members is visiting a special region.
I guess it's Washington State.

Who is it?  We wan to know it. Thank you.

Is it possible to publish some more Betty MacDonald interviews by Wolfgang Hampel?
They are my favourites. Do it, please. Thank you.

A Betty MacDonald Fan Club fan from Seattle told me that the Bard house in University District has been recently demolished.

I was rereading Betty MacDonald's description in Anybody can do anything and felt very sad.

Perhaps someone might have more info about it.

Thank you.

Betty MacDonald Collection

Mara:

Many greetings from London.

London is great not only because of the Olympics.

I met a Betty MacDonald fan here who shared her very interesting  Betty MacDonald collection.

I've never seen so many international editions of Betty MacDonald's books in my whole life.
I'm very impressed.

You can read the amazing story in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.

Brit, you obviously found a Betty MacDonald treasure.

I felt the same when I saw this Betty MacDonald collection.

Let us know, please who is the mentioned  Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member traveling in a vey special region.

Is it Darsie Beck, Gwen Grant, Letizia Mancino or Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel?
This story sounds interesting and I hope to hear more of it soon.


Oh happy day!

Mara

Betty MacDonald first british edition

Beat:

Brit, congratulations for finding this very special  first british edition of Betty MacDonald's book.

We are very curious to see the report and pictures.

I bet there are photos we've never seen before.

Regarding Eurovision Song Contest very strange and unfair votings it's true what has been already mentioned.
The swiss jury and this is very shameful indeed especially for me because I'm from Switzerland, ignored  magical Lena Valaitis with her very beautiful song Johnny Blue.
I know many Eurovision Song Contest fans in my country wrote to Swiss TV and told them how unfair it was.

The swiss jury acted this way because they thought Switzerland might win with Peter, Sue and Marc because Switzerland and Germany belonged to the favourites.

It didn't happen but Lena Valaitis missed deserved victory because of this unfair voting.

It's really kind of sad ( see also Italy in 1958, 1959, United Kingdom in 1968 and several more entries ).
Cliff Richard's Congratulations is the real winner of 1968 and norwegian singer Wencke Myhre who sang german entry 'Ein Hoch der Liebe' ( A Toast to Love )  should be second.
Wencke Myhre was wonderful and she got many points from UK jury but nothing from her homeland Norway. Isn't that sad?  What can you say? That's Eurovision.

My top 5 this year are: Serbia, Spain ( one of the best spanish entries ever), Germany, UK and Russia. I enjoy the russian grandmothers very much.
They are really cute but Engelbert is the much better singer ( but who cares at Eurovision?)  and he doesn't deserve this very bad result. Even my 13 year old daughter said she likes Engelbert's song.

Who is the Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member who does a special Betty MacDonald journey at the moment?

We  hope to read more about this in next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.

My wife is a bit angry with me because I watch the Olympic Games in London  for hours and hours every day. I can't help but the Olympics are so exciting.

We loved the opening ceremony very much.

Congratulations, Untited Kingdom!

Many greetings to the international Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans in London.

Enjoy yourself and the Olympic Games.  I know you will.

Betty MacDonald Olympic Conference London 2012

Brit:

Stella, the Olympic Games in London are very exciting.

You can meet many Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen fans.

Today I purchased a first british edition of one of Betty MacDonald's books.
It's in perfect condition but the best is that there is a report about Betty MacDonald's life with photos inside.

I'm very happy to get it. This made my day!

You'll read my story and see the photos in next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter August 2012.

Wishing you great Olympic Games,

Brit

Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member

Stella:

Mats, many greetings to you and the other Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans visiting the Betty MacDonald Fan Club Olympic Games Meeting 2012 in London.

I know you have tons of fun there.

I have a wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club surprise for you.

A beloved Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member is visiting a very special region right now.

Guess, who is and which region I'm talking about?

No, I'm not talking about the Olympics  in London.

It'll be a great Betty MacDonald Fan Club gift.

Dear  Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member, good luck and we hope to read about your unique experiences very soon.

Love to all of you

Sella

Betty MacDonald Olympic Games Meeting London 2012

Mats:

Welcome to our Betty MacDonald Olympic Games Meeting 2012 in London.

If you are interested in joining us, let us know, please.
( see my email-address in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter July 2012, Page 1, A)

Wibke I agree. Opening Ceremony was unforgettable.
Yes, Mr. Bond and Queen Elizabeth are unique.
A brilliant idea.

We'd say: United Kingdom twelve points!

Bella, Carmen and other Betty MacDonald Eurovision Song Contest fans, Eurovision Song Contest history includes many very strange results and that's kind of sad.
We should change it if we only could!

I look forward to hear Beat's research on the swiss jury in 1981 when they robbed  Germany's very charming singer Lena Valaitis the deserved victory. Johnny Blue belongs to my all time Eurovision Song Contest favourites.

The UK entry with Engelbert belongs in TOP 5 with Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, Ukraine and Russia.

Have a good time in London,

Mats

If  you visit the Olympic Games in London, let us know, please.

Many international Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans are there.

( see also Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter July, Page 1, A )

The opening Ceremony was unique.

We would say:  United Kingdom twelve points!

Mr. Bond and Queen Elizabeth II are a great team.

Enjoy the Olympic Games in London,

Betty MacDonald's stove is dancing

Kristin:

A year ago we had this tragic in Norway.

The murderer didn' t reach his goal - we remain a democratic and very liberal country and we are very proud of it.

Bella, speaking of Norway I think of Norway's last place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 behind United Kingdom with poor Engelbert.

We have 50 % jury and 50 % phone calls. What do we receive?  A very unfair result!
My family and I like Engelbert's song very much.

Bella, there are lots of unfair votings in Eurovision Song Contest history.

I watched Eurovision Song Contest 1968 on YouTube yeasterday.
Excellent norwegian singer Wencke Myhre sang the german entry Ein Hoch der Liebe ( A Toast For Love) composed by Horst Jankowski who had a million seller with A Walk Through Black Forest.

Wencke Myhre was outstanding on Eurovision Stage in Royal Albert Hall in London.
She got many, many points from the UK jury but no points from the norwegian jury.
It's such a shame and I'm very ANGRY about this. What was the reason why?
Anyway - it's such a shame!

I have to tell you that scandinavian countries are very strong in the so called  neighbour votings.
I recently saw a documentary that scandinavian countries hadn't been very successful until ABBA won for Sweden with Waterloo in 1974.
Therefore Scandinavia decided to support each other in the votings to change this situation.
And the situation has changed, because Sweden won 4 and Norway 3 times although Norway has the all time Eurovision record in getting last place like this year. So we are used to it.
Denmark won with Olsen brothers. I like the song very much. Finland won with Lordi. I don't want to talk anything about this entry.

Bella, I agree on Lena Valaitis. A shameful example of Eurovision Song Contest voting.
Eurovision Song Contest fan Beat from Switzerland did a research on this and you'll hear from him very soon.
It's true what you said on Eurovision Song Contest 1958 and 1959.
They robbed Italy the victory crown twice, perhaps more often because Italy is my favourite in 1974 with Si. I like ABBA very much but Waterloo is their worst song.

Did you notice that the russian gammies only got 11th place from the jury votings but got  second place because of so many phone calls?
I had to laugh too when I saw their Stove dancing. This reminds me of Betty MacDonald's Stove.
By the way not only Stove was dancing during Eurovision Song Contest 2012.

Do you know that 14 international entries had been composed by swedish composers?
I ask myself: Do other countries have no composers of their own?

Anyway - my Eurovision Song Contest Top Ten is: 
Sweden, Serbia, United Kingdom, Estonia, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Ukraine and Russia.

I have several very interesting articles on Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen.

You can read my story in one of the next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletters.

Betty MacDonald Document

Bella:

I adore Betty MacDonald, Mary Bard Jensen, Alison Bard Burnett, Darsie Beck, Monica Sone, Wolfgang Hampel, Letizia Mancino and Gwen Grant.

We have the most wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club honour members.

Thank you so much for your great work.

We appreciate this very much.

It means so much fun to be a Betty MacDonald Fan Club member.

I collect Betty MacDonald items for years and I'll share a Betty MacDonald document in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter August.

I hope to receive lots of feedback. Thank you.

Betty MacDonald Fan Club Eurovision Song Contest meeting 2012 was very entertaining.

I hope to see you again very soon.

Some countries deserved to win Eurovision Song Contest more often.

I don't say this because I'm italian -  among them are for example Italy and Germany.
Imagine, in 1958 Volare only got third. Volare is one of the most successful songs ever.
What can you say? Listen to the other entries you can only laugh.
The same in 1959.

Carmen, 1981 was one of the most shameful Eurovision Song Contest votings ever.
Switzerland didn't give Germany's Lena Valaitis  a single point although her very beautiful song Johnny Blue was a huge hit there.

Because of this shameful voting Lena Valaitis missed the victory.

I like Sweden and Russia ( the russian Gammies are so funny, even Stove is dancing on stage, I had to think of Betty MacDonald's Stove when I saw it, Betty would have laughed, can you remember Germany's Guildo Horn in 1998 in Birmingham who was also very funny ) but the UK entry with Engelbert deserves a much better place.

My top ten includes Sweden, Russia, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Poland,  Estonia and Latvia

Sunny Bella

Betty MacDonald Eurovision Song Contest Meeting 2012

Carmen:

I was reading Letizia Mancino's story in the morning.

Do you remember how Betty MacDonald describes morning and the differnet morning haters?
I'm such a morning hater but after reading Letizia Mancino's story I feel different.

The sun is shining and my stomach hurts because of my laughter.

The same happens when I'm reading Betty MacDonald's or Mary Bard Jensen's books.

I shouldn't forget our unique Betty MacDonald Fan Club couple Alison Bard Burnett and Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder Wolfgang Hampel visiting all the Bard family places in Seattle.

It's so great to be with Betty MacDonald's very witty sister Alison Bard Burnett and Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel.

Watching them how much fun they have means such a joy and pleasure.

I enjoyed Betty MacDonald Eurovision Song Contest meeting 2012 very much.

My favourites are Sweden, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Spain, Italy and United Kingdom.
My mother who adores Engelbert for a long time nearly cried about his bad result.

Julia, you are right. Many excellent songs didn't win Eurovision Song Contest.

I can remember Eurovision Song Contest 1981.

My favourite entry is and was Lena Valaitis with Johnny Blue who was Nr. 2.
Lena Valaitis belongs to several singers who deserved to win Eurovision Song Contest.

Johnny Blue is one of the best Eurovision songs ever.

Betty MacDonald or Letizia Mancino

Julia:

Sina, thank you.

Wonderful news.

A new Betty MacDonald letter will make Betty MacDonald Fan Club letter collection even more interesting and important.

Vincent I agree with many other Betty MacDonald Fan Club members.

Answering the Betty MacDonald Fan Club Contest question isn't difficult. I'd say the opposite.

I don't know which story is better written, the one by Letizia Mancino or the one by Betty MacDonald.

Both are very witty and wise. Thank you.

I'm a devoted Eurovision Song Contest fan since childhood.

Many very good songs, for example Volare, Congratulations, Ein Lied kann eine Brücke sein, Johnny Blue, Bonjour, bonjour and many, many others couldn't win Eurovision Song Contest.

What I want to say is that sometimes you don't understand the results at all.

The same happened with Engelbert. Great voice, good song and so less points

I like Sweden, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. ( too less points also )

Julia

Betty MacDonald letter

Sina:

I had no problems to answer the Betty MacDonald Fan Club question.

The Betty MacDonald Fan Club Eurovison Song Contest 2012 meeting was one of the best because you could meet so many fascinating personalities. I made so many new friends there.

Vera, I don't agree. We heard many good songs.

My favourites are  the russian, serbian and german entry.

I feel sorry for Engelbert and United Kingdom because he sang very well and received only points from four countries.  It's a shame and nobody can understand the reason why.

I'll contribute a Betty MacDonald letter to Betty MacDonald Fan Club letter collection.

Best,

Sina

Betty MacDonald Contest

Vera:

Reading Letizia Mancino's story means a lot of fun.

I'd like to see Mr. Tigerli, Camembert and the other family members.
When can we see pictures. Oh please that would be so nice.

Thank you, thank you for writing this wonderful story for us.

Vincent, there is a letter by Betty MacDonald.

After reading it you can answer the Betty MacDonald Contest question.
I don't want to give you any more details because you have info enough now.

I was a huge Eurovision Song Contest fan in earlier times.
I'm not crazy about it today because of too many bad songs and most of them sound the same.

A star like Engelbert shouldn't attend a Contest like this.

Betty MacDonald Fan Club Contest is much more interesting.

I hope I can win a Betty MacDonald DVD or an autographed book by Letizia Mancino.

Vera

Eurovision Song Contest Meeting 2012

Max:

Vincent, a very good advice.

You can find a letter by Betty MacDonald in Betty MacDonald Fan Club letter collection where she writes about her experiences with Camembert. 

Betty MacDonald even mentioned book and chapter. You can find it very easily.

Letizia Mancino's Betty MacDonald Fan Club contribution is a treasure of humor and wit.
Thank you, Letizia Mancino, Mary Holmes and Professor Dr. Cremer.
Oh please publish a Gallery of famous Mr.Tigerli, Camembert and the other members of the family.
  

        WE   LOVE   IT  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It was great to meet you and other Betty MacDonald fans at the Betty MacDonald Fan Club Eurovision Song Contest Meeting in 2012.

Although Sweden won Eurovision Song Contest 2012,  my favourites are Russia, Ukraine, Italy, Germany and Spain.

The UK entry wasn't that bad. Engelbert's song deserved many more points. That wasn't fair at all but that's Eurovision.

What do you think, Vincent and dear Betty MacDonald fans?

So long,

Max

Betty MacDonald Contest question

Anna:

Vincent, don't be such a lazy guy.

You only have to reread Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard Jensen's books and you can answer the Betty MacDonald Contest question.

It's a pleasure to do it but I advice you not to do it in the public because you can't stop laughing.

By the way I prefer seeing you with two ears instead of only one.

I can't tell you how much I enjoy Letizia Mancino's 'Camembert and I' story.

I love her italian style and charme.

Anna

Betty MacDonald Egg or Mouse

Vincent:

Letizia Mancino's new Betty MacDonald story is her best so far.

Golden humor!

We love it. Thank you so much. We had to smile and laugh all the time while reading it.

Stine, although we like Camembert we are not able to answer this rather difficult Betty MacDonald Fan Club Contest question.

There is nothing like this in Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard Jensen's books.

Are you really sure?

A rather depressed Vincent still with two ears but I'd need your help.................
