Otherwise it's no longer a democratic society. A simple fact. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine the loss of property, the personal insults, the barbed wire, armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks,  barren land, shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details,  snapping to attention at an officer's approach. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a very important book. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald Fan Club founder, author,  poet and Monica Sone's good friend Wolfgang Hampel told us that Nisei Daughter belonged to the very few books he was rereading. I know many of us do the very same. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald encouraged her friend Monica Sone in publishing her book 'Nisei Daughter'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald said: 'Nisei Daughter ' is a very remarkable book, humorous and delightfully readable, that takes you into the heart of a Japanese-American family and into the mind of the sensitive, perceptive eldest daughter.&lt;br /&gt;The internment of the American born Japanese during World War II is handled with honesty and rare dispassion. It is certainly to Monica Sone's credit that she she still sings God bless America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald was right. Having Monica Sone's experiences I'm not sure I would. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with John Heitman "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J.

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

His regular salary was $25 per month. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Cumming described Betty MacDonald's personality:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald's humor wasn't kindly, nor homey, nor friendly.  It had the malicious edge of a scalpel, and it could cut.  Betty MacDonald  saw the flaws of the race as vicious.  The fact that these flaws generally ended in hilarious pratfalls didn't make them any less lethal in her eyes" (Sketchbook: A Memoir of the 1930s and the Northwest School) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1942 William Cumming entered Firland Sanatorium with tuberculosis.

Das Licht wird die Finsternis vertreiben und das Leid wird sich in Liebe verwandeln. Ich glaube, dass Eure Opfer der ganzen Welt helfen wird: Aus dem Boden der Schmerzen wird eine leuchtende Lotos-Blume der Versöhnung für Menschen und Natur entstehen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Auch meine Gemälde, die in so  leuchtenden Farben erscheinen, sind aus der Überwindung dunkler Erfahrungen  entstanden: Mögen sie mit ihrer Harmonie den Augen, die so viel Verwüstungen sehen müssen, Trost und Hoffnung schenken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Friends of Betty MacDonald in Japan,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these hours my concern is the heavy fate which you, your families and friends are suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I greatly admire your patience and dignity in this situation of utmost difficulty. I am sure: The light will drive back the darkness, and suffering will be converted to love. I believe that your sacrifice will help the whole world. The soil of suffering will generate a lotus-flower of reconciliation for Man and Nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also my paintigs which appear in such splendid colors, have their origin in the overcoming of dark experiences. I wish that these images with their harmony will give you consolation and  hope. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cari amici di Betty MacDonald in Giappone,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In queste ore le mie preoccupazioni e  timori sono diretti al grave destino, che voi tutti dovete sopportare nella vostra terra insieme a parenti e amici.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con meraviglia osservo la pazienza e dignità che voi mostrate in questa difficilissima situazione. Io credo, che il vostro sacrificio sarà di aiuto all`intera umanità.Dal terreno del dolore crescerà un fiore di loto della comprensione tra uomini e natura. Anche i miei quadri, così brillanti nei colori, sono nati dal superamento di oscure esperienze. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spero che essi possano ,con la loro armonia, dare speranza e consolazione, ai vostri occhi, che ora vedono tanta distruzione.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

Tsiaprakas&lt;br /&gt;                          &lt;br /&gt;We'll meet on Vashon Island. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don, your second husband is so very much nicer! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love islands in North America: Though I know only the island „Mount Desert“ in Maine and not the island at the Pacific Coast –Betty's Vashon Island is near Seattle – however things seem to me to be very similar: Magic landscape, cosmic influences and thousands of small odd bits of land swimming in the wide ocean. Can they really swim? It looks as if they were wearing a life jacket around the lushgreen of the woods...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like Betty's and Don's house! Though I am missing „STOVE“ still there is a mad washing machine that makes life here interesting. What ghosts are likely to live within it? (Don is a Scotsman, I think he has taken it out of a haunted castle). Betty's daughters also live here: They are capricious girls with silly notions! „STOVE“ could be the father! Pity, they have been nicer in the other books when they were still little and sweet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, there are nice cats and dogs: Betty is a great animal friend. She has even stored a huge amount of dog and cat boxes in the house. Indeed, the American kitchen is unbelievable! &lt;br /&gt;When Betty can't buy food for humans – this happens with a stormy sea when the ferry boats can't deliver the island – she willingly resorts to those in the „worst case“.O, that culinary ability to adapt myself I will never develop! Do I perhaps eat the mice which my tomcat Tigerli brings me? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty's cook book is inexhaustible. From wild animals to marine creatures on the coast. In the Pacific fantastic fish and crustaceans live: Spoiled for choice! O seafood! „The king“ is the lobster, I learned in Maine! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However in Seattle it seems to be „Geoduck“! It's a sensation: It's got along neck! A sea giraffe? What's that? Betty help me! The damned name “Geoduck“ I don't find in my dictionary. The British encyclopedia Britannica doesn't know it either...Moment! I am looking it up in „The American Heritage Dictionary“. Thank God, I have found it: It's „a very large edible clam“. Clam of the size of 20cm.&lt;br /&gt;What's the „cazze di Napoli“ in comparison to that? Mussels, shame upon you before the American!  I look out of the window: Betty is crawling in the water with the whole family! Her daughter discovered Geoduck in the water. She grasps the neck of the animal! Clam is in a jam! It's caught! All are shouting for  joy! What a delicacy! Betty is running into the kitchen: Clam is being prepared: I turn my eyes elsewhere, I don't want to see anything of it. I hear how the meat is smashed. Eggs are beat together with it. My stomach also feels sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty is calling to eat. I dont eat that strange animal. It tastes heavenly, says Betty! I believe &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will leave the island.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Society&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, winner of first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award, author, journalist, artist, poet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://wolfganghampelsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel Fan Club &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, interviewer of Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers.

This is a success story, isn't it. Wow! I hate Wow but I have to use it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to tell you that sometimes I feel a bit like one of these mentioned awful jealous dwarfs.  I can tell you the reason why.&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel had the fantastic idea to found Betty MacDonald Fan Club, to visit all the places where Betty MacDonald and her family lived and to interview her family and friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the difference between us?  I  ask Eartha the question. Eartha looks at me and seems to say:  Anita, you are talking all the time about many projects but you should do more in practice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the point. Thank you,  Eartha. Isn't she brilliant? I could kill her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other important fact is: Wolfgang Hampel seems to have a huge talent to make friends - really very bright and charming ones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our new Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Letizia Mancino is such a gifted personality. &lt;br /&gt;Agneta, I agree. Letizia Mancino's  landscapes and the Betty MacDonald Gallery are my favourites. Masterpieces!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eartha's favourites are the cats. She could look at them over and over again and she seems to smile. No question! Eartha has a very good taste. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd love to hear Letizia Mancino's thoughts regarding Betty MacDonald's work and life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald Fan Club had a fantastic start in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish you the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anita and Eartha Kitt II &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's website &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino, beloved artist and writer, Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Letizia Mancino's Homage a Betty MacDonald &lt;br /&gt;http://www.letizia-mancino.eu/index.php?page=gallery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilde Domin Fan Club  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a  href="http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://hildedominfreundeskreis.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter, Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in The Plague and I, honour member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasone.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasone.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Society&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonesociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monica Sone Fan Club&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://monicasonefanclub.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.gwengrant.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant, beloved writer and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://gwengrantsociety.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

You'll find all the details in next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter. What a story!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A special message for tiny, jealous dwarfs: A dream will come true if you believe in yourself and work hard on it. OK? The way our great Betty MacDonald Fan Club member and author Monica Sone describes jealousy is excellent. I totally agree. That's it! Monica Sone is a genius.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have the great honour and pleasure to introduce a new wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member, writer, artist and President of a world famous literary Society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will happen in a few days.

( see Betty MacDonald Newsletter December ) &lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel stories and poems are my favourites. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Angie, your grandmother was a very wise lady as it is our beloved Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone. To me jealous people are like dwarfs because of their mental disorder. I dislike them very much especially during Christmas time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very cold days in the State of Washington. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know Gwen Grant's very special Christmas gift will warm our hearts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I adore Gwen Grant's books. We can be very proud to have unique Betty MacDonald Fan Club Members like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks a Million dear Gwen Grant for sharing this wonderful story! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                            ‘ON TOP OF THE WORLD’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     George One had been staring down at the Earth for a little while before he realised something was different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     But what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Squinting, he concentrated on the big space telescope, the one that was always aimed directly at him.   Well, at him and Mr. Estimet, he corrected, because whatever was different seemed to lay there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      ‘Ah!’ he exclaimed, as his eyes focussed.  ‘That’s it.   There’s a new person on the telescope, Mr. Estimet.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Mr. Estimet, who had also been looking down at the Earth, gently rocking backwards and forwards on his heels, suddenly came to life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘A new person, George?’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     George zoomed in on the new person and read her name badge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Tilly,’ he announced.  ‘Tilly Moffat.  Haven’t seen HER before.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    George and Mr. Estimet knew all the people who worked on the big telescope.  They knew the ones who got excited about any little change in the Universe, just as they knew the ones who remained calm, even a touch aloof when a new star was spotted, or a new asteroid, or a new anything come to that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     George smiled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Sometimes, just for the fun of it, he would throw a scrap of foil through the observation window, chortling at the sudden burst of activity below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Hardly worth a moment’s amusement, though, he admitted, because then he had to go out and get it back and that wasn’t easy, not with the pulling and tugging of all those gravitational fields swooping and soaring around him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Felt as if he’d been dragged through a force field backwards by the time he’d finished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     But there you are, as Mr. Estimet always said, there was enough junk from the earth cluttering the cosmos without him adding to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Now here was Tilly Moffat and George had no idea how she would respond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘And that,’ Mr. Estimet pointed out, ‘is because she hasn’t been behind the telescope before.  Wasn’t it Zachariah Bumble before Tilly?’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Then Mr. Estimet also closed up on Tilly Moffat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Looks quite pleasant,’ he observed, ‘for a person.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     George was not convinced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Hmmm.  Pleasant until she buys a great big field and builds a great big house on it with no regard for the non-humans who were there first.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Now, now, George,’ Mr. Estimet began, then let it go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       His own eyes shifted from Tilly Moffat back to the earth.  He could see snow falling in parts of that little world down there and he totally loved snow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Adored it, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Why, if there was anything that could make him volunteer for the very next stint on earth as an observer, it would be snow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     There was no snow on their planet, no misty mornings, no blue seas and golden sands, no anything, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ‘You know,’ he began, ‘despite all the things they do wrong…’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Which is practically everything,’ George put in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Mr. Estimet stopped him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ‘I know, George, I know, but on the other hand, they do have a capacity for love.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     George One almost snorted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Love, he thought.   They had a capacity for love all right when they drowned the sea in oil and chemicals, when they chopped down the rain forests, when they polluted the air and chucked things into space without a thought for those living there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     But all he said was, ‘Really?   They have a capacity for love?  Are you sure about that, Mr. Estimet?’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Well, look at what some of them do,’ Mr. Estimet began.  ‘Some try to save the whale and the tiger.  Quite a lot of them are trying to save the world.  Yes, yes,’ he held up a hand as George One’s mouth opened, ‘I know much of it is self-interest to avoid extinction but not all of it, George.   Many of them, for example, work for peace and, most promising, millions of them care about people they don’t even know.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     George thought about this.  Nope, he couldn’t believe any of these things but then, Mr. Estimet always had been a wishful thinker, although he denied it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      ‘I’m not a wishful thinker so much as a hopeful energy source,’ he would say, ‘just like some of those people on earth.’ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Now, he smiled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Can you see those trees?’ he asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     George looked down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘You mean the few they’ve got left,’ he retorted tersely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘No,’ Mr. Estimet’s voice was gentle.  ‘I mean the trees with stars on them.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      ‘Stars?’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Stars.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     There was silence for a moment as both George and Mr. Estimet winkled out the star dressed trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ‘Hmmm,’ George murmured.  ‘Very pretty.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Mr. Estimet glanced at him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ‘Pretty?’ he repeated, and George blushed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ‘I know it’s an earth word,’ he said defensively, ‘but it happens to be one I like.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘And why not,’ Mr. Estimate smiled.   Then, ‘Well, George, those trees are called Christmas trees.   No, don’t ask me why.   I have no idea.   All I know is that they do this to them every year and what I thought was, we could put a Christmas tree on top of our planet to show the earth that we quite like them.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘At the moment,’ he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Ignoring the last remark, George said, ‘Wouldn’t it have to be an extraordinarily big tree?’                                          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘It would.’  Mr. Estimet’s agreement was instant.   ‘But we can do that.   We can put a Christmas tree in space with a star on its top branch.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘How about the North Star,’ George suggested.  ‘That’s the brightest star we’ve got.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      Mr. Estimet shook his head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Better not.  They’ll get a bit miffed down there if the North Star suddenly disappears.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     When it was ready, George and Mr. Estimet sent their particle Christmas tree roaring into the silence of the Universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      It was enormous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Bite bare,’ George said thoughtfully, balancing the North Star on the tip of the tree, whipping a long strand of the Milky Way out of place then&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;draping it artistically over the branches so that the tree sparkled and shone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      For a moment, the whole Universe shuddered until Mr. Estimet put the strand back almost as fast as George had removed it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     ‘Sorry,’ George said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Other stars were fastened to the tree along with two or three glittering comets put on for a bit of interest and they were having a fine old time until George noticed Tilly Moffat staring up at them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ‘She can see the tree,’ he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    ‘Yes,’ Mr. Estimet nodded.  ‘She can.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     The response was immediate from the little world below them and when George spelt out ‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS’ in very small stars, hanging them on the tree in place of the bit of the Milky Way that had been there before, Zachariah Bumble and the whole of the telescope team crowded around Tilly Moffat to stare at the Christmas tree floating in space.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      ‘Happy Christmas, George,’ said Mr. Estimet, holding the Universe steady as George carefully took down the North Star and put it back where he had found it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     In the deep still silence, George said, ‘Happy Christmas, Mr. Estimet,’ and glancing down at Tilly Moffat’s shining eyes, added one more word to his banner of stars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      ‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS, WORLD.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      And to Mr. Estimet’s surprise, this time, George meant it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                   © by GWEN GRANT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen Grant's Christmas story is delightful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Gwen Grant, our other Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members Monica Sone and Darsie Beck  and our Betty MacDonald Fans from all over the world. By the way I know that we'll have Betty MacDonald Fan Club members in 30 countries in the near future.

I can't wait to read more.&lt;br /&gt;Ingrid Noll's birthday poem is very well done. So funny! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, Monica Sone's very good friend and author of Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography told us that Monica Sone is always delighted to hear from her fans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the same with our other Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour members,  author Gwen Grant and  Betty MacDonald's nephew, artist and writer Darsie Beck. If you have any questions or greetings don't hesitate to send them, please. The Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour members are very happy to hear from you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I admire Monica Sone's book Nisei Daughter. Betty MacDonald was right when she described Monica as Kimi the way she did in her book The Plague and I. Monica is very witty and intelligent although the subject of Nisei Daughter isn't a funny one. Just the opposite! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After reading Gwen Grant's book Private! Keep out!  we want to read her other books. &lt;br /&gt;Golden Humor! A gifted writer! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Darsie Beck's book and artwork are outstanding. &lt;br /&gt;Betty MacDonald would be very proud. What a wonderful family with so many creative personalities! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2010 is such a great year for Betty MacDonald Fan Club. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several new famous writers and artists will join us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anita, you and Eartha Kitt II are really Betty MacDonald Fan Club dream team Nr. 1!&lt;br /&gt;We admire your outstanding Betty MacDonald research and your support for Betty MacDonald Memorial letter project.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gerti, good luck with your fascinating project Betty MacDonald's favourite books and writers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jakob &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alison Bard Burnett, Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard's brilliant sister, beloved all over the world.

Betty MacDonald Fan Club has members in 26 countries. &lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel visited all the places where Betty MacDonald and her family lived. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, author of Betty MacDonald Biography, interviewed Betty MacDonald's family and friends and many other famous artists and writers, for example Truman Capote, J. K. Rowling, Maurice Sendak, David Guterson, Donna Leon, Ingrid Noll, Walt Woodward and Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Members Monica Sone, Darsie Beck and Gwen Grant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel is also famous for his satirical poems and stories. &lt;br /&gt;We are going to share Wolfgang Hampel's artwork with many fans from all over the world who adore his Betty MacDonald Biography and unique Betty MacDonald Interviews. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We got Wolfgang Hampel's permission to share his very special Ingrid Noll birthday poem with you. Ingrid Noll was delighted and said she never got such a wonderful and witty birthday poem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viele Betty MacDonald Fan Club Fans sind sehr an Wolfgang Hampels Interviews, Geschichten und Gedichten interessiert. &lt;br /&gt;Sie können einige von Wolfgang Hampels neuen satirischen Geschichten und Gedichten im nächsten Betty MacDonald Fan Club Magazin lesen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel ist ein Journalist, Autor, Künstler und Poet.&lt;br /&gt;Er ist der Träger des ersten Betty MacDonald Gedächtnispreises, der von einer Gruppe internationaler Betty MacDonald Sammler und Fans gestiftet wurde. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wie wir alle wissen gründete Wolfgang Hampel 1983 den Betty MacDonald Fan Club und die Betty MacDonald Society. Der Betty MacDonald Fan Club hat Mitglieder in 26 Ländern.&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel besuchte alle Orte wo Betty MacDonald und ihre Familie lebte. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampels neue Betty MacDonald Dokumentation über Betty MacDonalds Leben in Boulder, Butte, Seattle, Laurelhurst, Chimacum, Vashon, Carmel und Carmel Valley ist wirklich faszinierend. Ein Höhepunkt sind Szenen von Bettys und Dons Leben in Carmel und Carmel Valley. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel, Autor der Betty MacDonald Biografie, interviewte Betty MacDonalds Familie und Freunde und viele andere berühmte Künstler und Schriftsteller, z.B. Truman Capote, J. K. Rowling, Maurice Sendak, Donna Leon, David Guterson, Ingrid Noll, Walt Woodward und Betty MacDonald Fan Club Ehrenmitglieder Monica Sone, Darsie Beck und Gwen Grant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel ist auch berühmt für seine satirischen Gedichte und Geschichten. &lt;br /&gt;Wir werden Wolfgang Hampels Werk den vielen Fans aus aller Welt vorstellen, die seine Betty MacDonald Biografie und die einzigartigen Betty MacDonald Interviews schätzen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hampel gab uns die Erlaubnis, sein wunderbares Ingrid Noll Geburtstagsgedicht auf der Seite zu veröffentlichen. Ingrid Noll war begeistert und sagte, sie habe noch nie so ein witziges Geburtstagsgedicht erhalten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Geburtstagsgedicht für Ingrid Noll&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright 2010 by Wolfgang Hampel&lt;br /&gt;           All rights reserved &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohne Krimi geht die Mimi nie in's Bett,&lt;br /&gt;das ist wirklich schön und nett,&lt;br /&gt;doch ist es tausend Mal so toll,&lt;br /&gt;geht man in's Bett mit einer Noll.&lt;br /&gt;Ob Hahn ist tot,&lt;br /&gt;ob Röslein rot&lt;br /&gt;und Häupter meiner Lieben,&lt;br /&gt;man ist auf einmal ganz hellwach&lt;br /&gt;und muß den Schlaf verschieben.&lt;br /&gt;Man spürt den kalten Abendhauch&lt;br /&gt;und Apothekerinnen auch,&lt;br /&gt;die nähern sich uns Stich für Stich.&lt;br /&gt;Das ist das richt'ge Gift für mich.&lt;br /&gt;Witwen, Rabenbrüder, Sekretärin&lt;br /&gt;führen manches so im Sinn.&lt;br /&gt;Stets Ladylike ist Ingrid Noll,&lt;br /&gt;die Handlung spannend, immer toll,&lt;br /&gt;welche Fäden sie auch spinnt,&lt;br /&gt;nie d'runter ist ein Kuckuckskind,&lt;br /&gt;hintergründig gut verschlungen&lt;br /&gt;sattelfest in Falschen Zungen.&lt;br /&gt;Das neu'ste, ich wußt' es sofort,&lt;br /&gt;wieder spitze!
