Hi Jerry,

It's so nice to hear from you again.
Did you ever read the biographies of Betty?
I heard from another Betty Fan that a publisher in the State of Washington was interested in publishing the stories in book form.

I'm so curious to hear your thoughts.

I haven't read the biographies, but thanks for the info.

Wouldn't that be great if her writing is published? She was such a gifted writer. Let us know if you hear anything.

Glad you are still keeping in touch here.

I'll keep you informed.
It would be great if Betty's writing is published.
I heard that a publisher in Washington is interested in publishing the biography of Betty MacDonald in a hard cover version. Really great stories!
And more news: I heard from a fan in Seattle that a new Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle book will be published soon.

I received an info from Betty MacDonald Society:
They have a special Christmas Offer with many bonus items. One of these items is a delightful story written by Betty's best friend Kimi. Can you remember the wonderful Kimi from Betty's THE PLAGUE AND I. She is such a charming and brilliant lady.

One of my favorite books in my lifetime. I got a first edition, with the book jacket & reading it for the 3rd time. I can relate to one of the members who wrote it's a comfort. I look forward to reading it at bedtime. Next, I want to read her other 2 books.

Hi, Ellen,

Did you know that Betty has 4 books? (Not counting the children's books)

The titles are:

"The Egg & I"
"The Plague & I"
"Anybody Can Do Anything"
"Onions In The Stew"

These books are all excellent!!! (But kind of hard to find!!)

I enjoyed the description of the cougar hunt and would love to see the picture of Bob and the cougar. Is this postedonlinee anywhere? There is ongoing research into post-traumatic stress, and a lot more is known about it now than in Bob's time.
