I'm Jens,
Good luck with your Ma and Pa Kettle Society and 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.
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

Ma and Pa Kettle biography tons of fun
I'm Morten,
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.
Take care,
Morten

Ma and Pa Kettle, Betty MacDonald's chickens
I'm Anita,
Good morning, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,
I'm working on a story about Owning Chickens for Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.
You will learn many thoughts for example of Betty MacDonald, Robert Eugene Heskett, Donald Chauncey MacDonald, Darsie Bard, Sydney Bard, Gammy, Mary Bard Jensen, Clyde Reynolds Jensen, Cleve Bard, Mary Alice Bard, Dorothea Goldsmith whose name in Betty MacDonald's books is Dede of course, Madge Baldwin, Don Woodfin, Mike Gordon, Ma and Pa Kettle, Nancy and Plum, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and many other family members and friends.
Sandrine darling, you are right. A serious warning! Don't ever listen to Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald Interviews in public places. I did it in a bus. I felt off my sit because I couldn't stop laughing about this crazy couple. Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett share their witty experiences with family and friends but also about owning chickens. Terribly funny!
This new Betty MacDonald CD and DVD influenced me to write a Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter story about owning chickens. I agree with humor champion Alison Bard Burnett. She got it! When you feel blue you only have to listen to Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett. Don't do it in a childish way like I did. By the way I did hurt myself.
I don't agree with Geoff Taylor's description about owning chickens.
Hens make a soothing clucking noise?
Oh No!!!! They don't. I know it from practice.
They wake you up early in the morning. I'm a longsleeper. I hate their noise. It's just awful.
Everyone should have a dozen chickens?.
Everyone? What is the reason why? I never liked chickens.
They’re far more soothing to the jangled city psyche than colorful fish swimming in a tank on a bookshelf?
Oh dear, Geoff, stop it, please! This is kind of a very romantic feeling. I'm sure Betty MacDonald would hate it and I agree. A back to the country feeling.
I'm a city girl and love my wonderful cat named Eartha Kit, who is as beautiful as Eartha, the singer. Wild Eartha is a city girl too and of course we celebrated World Cat Day together.
Chickens give you eggs on your breakfast plate that are better and fresher than Bill Gates eats, unless he also keeps chickens?
Eartha and I don't need eggs, in fact we don't like them. I can't imagine Bill Gates keeps chickens. If so I'd be very disappointed because I adore his intelligence.
So you know how I feel about Geoff Taylor's thoughts.
I'd like to know what our very bright and charming Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Members, authors and artists Monica Sone, Darsie Beck and Gwen Grant think about owning chickens. I'm really very curious. I bet they don't like them.
Chickens remain what they are. Stupid!
The world don't need their stupidity. We need more intelligence, tolerance and understanding. That's what we need.
Eartha looks at me and seems to say: Anita, dull chick you sound like a prayer today. You still have to learn a lot!
Isn't Eartha very wise? She is so much more intelligent than I am.
Have a nice day, dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans!

Ma and Pa Kettle memories
Bonjour, I'm Sandrine
Alison Bard Burnett shares very witty experiences with Ma and Pa Kettle. Be careful, please. Don't listen to Wolfgang Hampel's Ma and Pa Kettle Interviews in public places like I did. I was sitting in a train and had to laugh so hard all the time. People gave me very strange looks. Alison Bard Burnett is a champion in humor like her sisters Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard. She deserves world wide fame because of this unique ability to make us laugh.
I adore Wolfgang Hampel's fascinating Betty MacDonald Interviews and biographical books The Kettles' Million Dollar Egg, The Egg and Betty, The Tragic End of Robert Eugene Heskett, Betty MacDonald and Mike Gordon, Betty MacDonald in Butte, Chimacum, Seattle and Carmel, Betty MacDonald's illness published by BMC 2009/2010.
My aunt knows one of Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's close friends. I'll share many wonderful stories about Ma and Pa Kettle. My story about Ma and Pa Kettle will be published in Ma and Pa Kettle Society Newsletter September 2010 including very interesting photos.
Yours,
Sandrine

Ma and Pa Kettle DVD
Hello this is Dagmar,
Great Ma and Pa Kettle Society and Betty MacDonald Fan Club news!
You can order our new Betty MacDonald and Alison Bard Burnett CD and DVD!
DVD and CD are different. You can see Betty MacDonald, her sister Alison Bard Burnett and other family members and friends in front of the camera for the first time!
We can offer you new wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club Items and a new Betty MacDonald and Alison Bard Burnett CD and DVD published by Betty MacDonald Fan Club 2010. More exciting news about Betty MacDonald's filmed interview will come soon.
Anne Elizabeth Campbell Bard was born March 26, 1907 in Boulder, Colorado, the second child of Sydney and Darsie Bard. Betsy and her three sisters and brother had an adventurous, somewhat unconventional childhood owing to the strong and creative personalities of their parents and Darsie's mother, "Gammy," and the many lessons in independence they survived gracefully. ( see story Betty and Gammy written by Wolfgang Hampel published by Betty MacDonald Fan Club 2009/2010 and Interviews with Betty MacDonald and her sister Alison Bard published on CD/DVD Betty MacDonald Fan Club 2009/2010. The interviews on CD and DVD are different ones )
When Betsy was 12 her father died of pneumonia, but the family's strong relationships and optimism remained intact through this sorrow and the ensuing financial trials.
Betsy (who later preferred the nickname Betty) said that for the Bard children, there were really only two household rules: "We were expected to be polite and to tell the truth, no matter how appalling. "Apart from that, the Bard children did as they pleased and went forth into the world with well-defined personalities, acutely-developed senses of humor and adventure, and a remarkable zest for life.
Betty married at 20 and went to live on a chicken ranch in the Olympic mountains. Her experiences there are chronicled in her first book, The Egg and I . ( see books The Kettles' Million Dollar Egg, The Egg and Betty, The Tragic end of Robert Eugene Heskett by Wolfgang Hampel published by BMC 2009)
Life in such isolation and hardship palled after 4 years and she returned with her two small daughters to her Seattle family just as the Depression hit. The amazing stories of their survival and triumph are related in Anybody Can Do Anything. Betty and her family had a wonderful friend who supported them during this very difficult time.
( see Betty and Mike by Wolfgang Hampel published by BMC 2009 and Wolfgang Hampel's interview with Alison Bard published by BMC 2009/2010)
Alison Bard tells some delightful treasure stories about this wonderful friend.
But Betty's career as a businesswoman was cut short when she contracted pulmonary tuberculosis and entered Firlands, an endowed sanitorium north of Seattle. Lying flat on one's back for 8 1/2 months doesn't seem the stuff of which humor can be made, but Betty did indeed spin gold out of straw, in The Plague and I.
( see Betty MacDonald's illness written by Wolfgang Hampel and published 2009 by BMC and comments of Betty MacDonald's family and friends incl. Betty MacDonald's wonderful friend Kimi )
After her recovery, Betty married Donald MacDonald and they moved their family to Vashon Island, leading an idyllic and interesting existence as portrayed in Onions in the Stew. While on Vashon Betty also wrote her works for children: the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle series and Nancy and Plum.
Betty and her husband bought a ranch near Carmel, but illness forced her to move back to Seattle. She died of cancer at the age of 50 on February 7, 1958. ( see Betty MacDonald's illness by Wolfgang Hampel, published by BMC 2009 and Wolfgang Hampel's interview with Alison Bard, published by BMC 2009/2010 )
Why is Betty's writing so beloved among so many people all over the world? The first and most obvious reason is that it's hilarious - sharp, sometimes irreverent. vivid and unexpected. Betty manages to find humor everywhere: on the early morning streetcar, in a hospital ward, in a home with two cranky adolescents, in job situations from farm work to secretarial duties. To read Betty's writing is to laugh -- often out loud, in public places, whether you want to or not. She has a terrific eye for the absurd and can paint a striking and side-splitting word picture in a few succinct strokes.
But Betty fans also love her optimism, her strength, her intense love for her family, her times of self-doubt, and the zest with which she approaches all of life and relishes simple pleasures.( see many comments of Betty MacDonald Fans in books, stories and interviews with Betty MacDonald's family and friends published by BMC 2009/2010 )
Betty's indomitable sister Mary Bard, whom we encounter in all four books but meet most vividly in Anybody Can Do Anything, also went on to write (her first book is dedicated to Betty, "Who Egged Me On"). Mary's books, The Doctor Wears Three Faces, Forty-Odd, Just Be Yourself, and the children's series Best Friends, are also much beloved by Betty fans who find themselves quickly becoming Mary fans as well. ( see Wolfgang Hampel's interviews with Alison Bard. She tells the most interesting stories about Mary, Betty and the Bard family. )
The CD and DVD interviews are different ones.

Great Ma and Pa Kettle Society and Betty MacDonald Fan Club news!
You can order our new Betty MacDonald and Alison Bard Burnett CD and DVD!
DVD and CD are different. You can see Betty MacDonald, her sister Alison Bard Burnett and other family members and friends in front of the camera for the first time!
We can offer you new wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club Items and a new Betty MacDonald and Alison Bard Burnett CD and DVD published by Betty MacDonald Fan Club 2010. More exciting news about Betty MacDonald's filmed interview will come soon.
Anne Elizabeth Campbell Bard was born March 26, 1907 in Boulder, Colorado, the second child of Sydney and Darsie Bard. Betsy and her three sisters and brother had an adventurous, somewhat unconventional childhood owing to the strong and creative personalities of their parents and Darsie's mother, "Gammy," and the many lessons in independence they survived gracefully. ( see story Betty and Gammy written by Wolfgang Hampel published by Betty MacDonald Fan Club 2009/2010 and Interviews with Betty MacDonald and her sister Alison Bard published on CD/DVD Betty MacDonald Fan Club 2009/2010. The interviews on CD and DVD are different ones )
When Betsy was 12 her father died of pneumonia, but the family's strong relationships and optimism remained intact through this sorrow and the ensuing financial trials.
Betsy (who later preferred the nickname Betty) said that for the Bard children, there were really only two household rules: "We were expected to be polite and to tell the truth, no matter how appalling. "Apart from that, the Bard children did as they pleased and went forth into the world with well-defined personalities, acutely-developed senses of humor and adventure, and a remarkable zest for life.
Betty married at 20 and went to live on a chicken ranch in the Olympic mountains. Her experiences there are chronicled in her first book, The Egg and I . ( see books The Kettles' Million Dollar Egg, The Egg and Betty, The Tragic end of Robert Eugene Heskett by Wolfgang Hampel published by BMC 2009)

Ma and Pa Kettle Letter
It's Carla,
Hi Ma and Pa Kettle Society and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans,
I'll contribute something to Ma and Pa Kettle Letter project.
Betty MacDonald's son-in-law and Joan MacDonald Keil's husband Jerry Keil was very kind. I'm going to share some of Joan MacDonald Keil's and Jerry Keil's letters about Ma and Pa Kettle. The letters are very funny and interesting. You'll enjoy them very much.
Nice weekend, Ma and Pa Kettle Soicety, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans and Cornelia!
Yours,
