Hi this is Lenard,
Thanks a Million, dear Letizia Mancino.
You are an outstanding writer and artist.
We are so proud and happy to have you with us.
Letizia writes: One should not underestimate Wolfgang Hampel’s talent in speedily mobilizing Betty MacDonald’s friends.
We agree. Thank you so much dear Wolfgang Hampel for doing this. You founded Betty MacDonald Fan Club with four members.
Now we have members in 33 countries around the world. A dream came true.
Mary Holmes did an excellent job in translating this great story.
Thank you so much dear Mary Holmes.
We are really very grateful.
Merry Christmas to Letizia, Wolfgang and Mary and to all Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans from all over the world!

Following in Betty’s footsteps in Seattle:
or some small talk with Betty
Copyright 2011 by Letizia Mancino

translated by Mary Holmes
We were going to Canada in the summer. “When we are in Edmonton”, I said to Christoph Cremer, “let’s make a quick trip to Seattle”. And that’s how it happened. At Edmonton Airport we climbed into a plane and two hours later we landed in the city where Betty had lived. I was so happy to be in Seattle at last and to be able to trace Betty’s tracks!
Wolfgang Hampel had told Betty’s friends about our arrival.
They were happy to plan a small marathon through the town and it’s surroundings with us. We only had a few days free. One should not underestimate Wolfgang’s talent in speedily mobilizing Betty’s friends, even though it was holiday time. E-mails flew backwards and forwards between Heidelberg and Seattle, and soon a well prepared itinerary was ready for us. Shortly before my departure Wolfgang handed me several parcels, presents for Betty MacDonald's friends. I rushed to pack the heavy gifts in my luggage but because of the extra weight had to throw out a pair of pajamas!
After we had landed we took a taxi to the Hotel in downtown Seattle. I was so curious to see everything. I turned my head in all directions like one of the hungry hens from Betty’s farm searching for food! Fortunately it was quite a short journey otherwise I would have lost my head like a loose screw!
Our hotel room was on the 22nd floor and looked directly out onto the 16-lane highway. There might have been even more than 16 but it made me too giddy to count! It was like a glimpse of hell! “And is this Seattle?” I asked myself. I was horrified! The cars racing by were enough to drive one mad. The traffic roared by day and night.
We immediately contacted Betty MacDonald's friends and let them know we had arrived and they confirmed the times when we should see them.
On the next morning I planned my first excursion tracing Betty’s tracks. I spread out the map of Seattle. “Oh dear” I realized “the Olympic Peninsula is much too far away for me to get there.”
Betty nodded to me! “Very difficult, Letizia, without a car.”
“But I so much wanted to see your chicken farm”
“My chickens are no longer there and you can admire the mountains from a distance”
But I wanted to go there. I left the hotel and walked to the waterfront where the State Ferry terminal is. Mamma mia, the streets in Seattle are so steep! I couldn’t prevent my feet from running down the hill. Why hadn’t I asked for brakes to be fixed on my shoes? I looked at the drivers. How incredibly good they must be to accelerate away from the red traffic lights. The people were walking uphill towards me as briskly as agile salmon. Good heavens, these Americans! I tried to keep my balance. The force of gravity is relentless. I grasped hold of objects where I could and staggered down.
In Canada a friend had warned me that in Seattle I would see a lot of people with crutches.
Betty laughed. “ It’s not surprising, Letizia, walking salmon don’t fall directly into the soft mouth of a bear!”
“ Betty, stop making these gruesome remarks. We are not in Firlands!”
I went further. Like a small deranged ant at the foot of a palace monster I came to a tunnel. The noise was unbearable. On the motorway, “The Alaskan Way Viaduct”, cars, busses and trucks were driving at the speed of light right over my head. They puffed out their poisonous gas into the open balconies and cultivated terraces of the luxurious sky- scrapers without a thought in the world. America! You are crazy!
“Betty, are all people in Seattle deaf? Or is it perhaps a privilege for wealthy people to be able to enjoy having cars so near to their eyes and noses to save them from boredom?”
“When the fog democratically allows everything to disappear into nothing, it makes a bit of a change, Letizia”
“ Your irony is incorrigible, Betty, but tell me, Seattle is meant to be a beautiful city, But where?”
I had at last reached the State Ferry terminal.
“No Madam, the ferry for Vashon Island doesn’t start from here,” one of the men in the ticket office tells me. ”Take a buss and go to the ferry terminal in West Seattle.”
Betty explained to me “The island lies in Puget Sound and not in Elliott Bay! It is opposite the airport. You must have seen it when you were landing!”
“Betty, when I am landing I shut my eyes and pray!”
It’s time for lunch. The weather is beautiful and warm. Who said to me that it always rains here?
“Sure to be some envious man who wanted to frighten you away from coming to Seattle. The city is really beautiful, you’ll see. Stay by the waterfront, choose the best restaurant with a view of Elliott Bay and enjoy it.”
“Thank you Betty!”
I find a table on the terrace of “Elliott’s Oyster House”. The view of the island is wonderful. It lies quietly in the sun like a green fleecy cushion on the blue water.
Betty plays with my words:
“Vashon Island is a big cushion, even bigger than Bainbridge which you see in front of your eyes, Letizia. The islands look similar. They have well kept houses and beautiful gardens”.
I relax during this introduction, “Bainbridge” you are Vashon Island, and order a mineral water.
“At one time the hotel belonging to the parents of Monica Sone stood on the waterfront.”
“Oh, of your friend Kimi!” Unfortunately I forget to ask Betty exactly where it was.
My mind wanders and I think of my mountain hike back to the hotel! “Why is there no donkey for tourists?” Betty laughs:
“I’m sure you can walk back to the hotel. “Letizia can do everything.””
“Yes, Betty, I am my own donkey!”
But I don’t remember that San Francisco is so steep. It doesn’t matter, I sit and wait. The waiter comes and brings me the menu. I almost fall off my chair!
“ What, you have geoduck on the menu! I have to try it” (I confess I hate the look of geoduck meat. Betty’s recipe with the pieces made me feel quite sick – I must try Betty’s favourite dish!)
“Proof that you love me!” said Betty enthusiastically “ Isn’t the way to the heart through the stomach?”
I order the geoduck. The waiter looks at me. He would have liked to recommend oysters.
“Geoduck no good for you!”
Had he perhaps read my deepest thoughts? Fate! Then no geoduck. “No good for me.”
“Neither geoduck nor tuberculosis in Seattle” whispered Betty in my ear!
“Oh Betty, my best friend, you take such good care of me!”
I order salmon with salad.
“Which salmon? Those that swim in water or those that run through Seattle?”
“Betty, I believe you want me to have a taste of your black humour.”
“Enjoy it then, Letizia.”
During lunch we talked about tuberculosis, and that quite spoilt our appetite.
“Have you read my book “The Plague and I”?”
“Oh Betty, I’ve started to read it twice but both times I felt so sad I had to stop again!”
“But why?” asked Betty “Nearly everybody has tuberculosis! I recovered very quickly and put on 20 pounds! There was no talk of me wasting away! What did you think of my jokes in the book?”
“Those would have been a good reason for choosing another sanitorium. I would have been afraid of becoming a victim of your humour! You would have certainly given me a nickname! You always thought up such amusing names!” Betty laughed.
“You’re right. I would have called you “Roman nose”. I would have said to Urbi and Orbi “ Early this morning “Roman nose” was brought here. She speaks broken English, doesn’t eat geoduck but she does love cats.”
“Oh Betty, I would have felt so ashamed to cough. To cough in your presence, how embarrassing! You would have talked about how I coughed, how many coughs!”
“It depends on that “how”, Letizia!”
“Please, leave Goethe quotations out of it. You have certainly learnt from the Indians how to differentiate between noises. It’s incredible how you can distinguish between so many sorts of cough! At least 10!”
“So few?”
”And also your descriptions of the patients and the nurses were pitiless. An artistic revenge! The smallest pimple on their face didn’t escape your notice! Amazing.”
“ I was also pitiless to myself. Don’t forget my irony against myself!”
Betty was silent. She was thinking about Kimi, the “Princess” from Japan! No, she had only written good things about her best friend, Monica Sone, in her book “The Plague and I”. A deep friendship had started in the hospital. The pearl that developed from the illness.
“Isn’t it wonderful, Betty, that an unknown seed can make its way into a mollusk in the sea and develop into a beautiful jewel?” Betty is paying attention.
“Betty, the friendship between you and Monica reminds me of Goethe’s poem “Gingo-Biloba”. You must know it?” Betty nods and I begin to recite it:
The leaf of this Eastern tree
Which has been entrusted to my garden
Offers a feast of secret significance,
For the edification of the initiate.
Is it one living thing.
That has become divided within itself?
Are these two who have chosen each other,
So that we know them as one?
The friendship with Monica is like the wonderful gingo-biloba leaf, the tree from the east. Betty was touched. There was a deep feeling of trust between us.
“Our friendship never broke up, partly because she was in distress, endangered by the deadly illness. We understood and supplemented each other. We were like one lung with two lobes, one from the east and one from the west!”
“A beautiful picture, Betty. You were like two red gingo-biloba leaves!”
Betty was sad and said ” Monica, although Japanese, before she really knew me felt she was also an American. But she was interned in America, Letizia, during the second world war. Isn’t that terrible?”
“Betty, I never knew her personally. I have only seen her on a video, but what dignity in her face, and she speaks and moves so gracefully!”
“Fate could not change her”
“Yes, Betty, like the gingo-biloba tree in Hiroshima. It was the only tree that blossomed again after the atom bomb!”
The bill came and I paid at once. In America one is urged away from the table when one has finished eating. If one wants to go on chatting one has to order something else.
“That’s why all those people gossiping at the tables are so fat!” Betty remarks. “Haven’t you seen how many massively obese people walk around in the streets of America. Like dustbins that have never been emptied!” With this typically unsentimental remark Betty ended our conversation.
Ciao! I so enjoyed the talk; the humour, the irony and the empathy. I waved to her and now I too felt like moving! I take a lovely walk along the waterfront.
Now I am back in Heidelberg and when I think about how Betty’s “Princessin” left this world on September 5th and that in August I was speaking about her with Betty in Seattle I feel very sad. The readers who knew her well (we feel that every author and hero of a book is nearer to us than our fleeting neighbours next door) yes we, who thought of her as immortal, cannot believe that even she would die after 92 years. How unforeseen and unexpected that her death should come four days after her birthday on September 1th. On September 5th I was on my way to Turkey, once again in seventh heaven, looking back on the unforgettable days in Seattle. I was flying from west to east towards the rising sun.

Monica Sone: They moved me away
It's Lasse,
Over 31.000 people were kept interned until July 1948 - more than three years after the war in Europe had ended.
I hope we can learn from the past and we are willing to.
Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone was furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights.
Monica Sone said to Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel:
I didn't move from Seattle - they moved me away and I never came back.
( only for family visits )
Of course everybody can understand Monica Sone's feelings.
A democratic society has to protect the civil rights of their people. Otherwise it's no longer a democratic society. A simple fact.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians.
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.
Therefore Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a very important book.
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.
Betty MacDonald encouraged her friend Monica Sone in publishing her book 'Nisei Daughter'.
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.
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.
Betty MacDonald was right. Having Monica Sone's experiences I'm not sure I would.
I agree with John Heitman "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt."
Take care,
Lasse

Monica Sone lives in our hearts
Hi this is Anita and Eartha Kitt II,
We lost a friend.
Eartha and I and many Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans are so sad.
I was rereading Monica Sone's very important book 'Nisei Daughter'.
I agree with Milion S. Eisenhower who asked:
"How could such a tragedy have occurred

I didn't know that some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians.
John Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach.

921 SON, Nisei Daughter
Monica Sone spent her childhood in pre-World War II Seattle, in a part Japanese, part American world. Dinner might be steak and pumpkin pie or pickled daikon, rice, and soy sauce; there was American public school during the day and the strict formality of Japanese school in the late afternoons. "I found myself switching my personality back and forth daily like a chameleon. At Bailey Gatzert School I was a jumping, screaming, roustabout Yankee, but at the stroke of three...I suddenly became a modest, faltering, earnest little Japanese girl with a small timid voice." Her memories of growing up are vivid and full of marvelous stories, showing the confusion, frustration, and enrichment of living within two cultures. These elements come together when Japan bombs Pearl Harbor and Monica and her family are sent to an internment camp in Topaz, Idaho. Nisei Daughter describes the loss of property and the personal insults, the barbed wire and armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, and barren land - and the efforts of the Japanese-Americans to maintain their ethics, family life, and belief in the United States. Monica Sone is furious at the blatant disregard of her civil rights, and yet ironically, it is during her time in the camps and afterwards in the Midwest that she finally brings together the various aspects of her heritage. Straightforward, searching, often funny, this is a highly readable account of one woman's experience living in many worlds.

Years of silence: The untold story of German-American internment
by Deborah McCarty Smith
More than fifty years have passed since the beginnings of the arrest and internment of European Americans in the United States during World War II. For the most part, the history of internment has been either quieted or distorted. For example, the majority of the best-selling collegiate and secondary school history texts in the United States claim that, unlike Japanese Americans, the German and Italian Americans were not arrested and interned; and both the print and electronic news media have propagated this myth.
56% of all internees (14,426 of 25,655) were Europeans and European Americans--Germans, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, even several Czechs and Poles.
The arrest of Germans, German Americans, Italians and Italian Americans began on December 7, 1941--four days before the U.S. was at war with Germany and Italy. [Source: ibid.]European and European Americans were kept interned until July 1948--more than three years after the war in Europe had ended.
Europeans and European-Americans accounted for 56 percent of all internees during World War II, according to Arthur Jacobs, co-editor of World War Two Experience: The Internment of German-Americans. In all, some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.
In the camps, internees were seen more as prisoners of war than as civilians. Heitmann's research paints a picture of shared huts, inadequate washing and toilet facilities, green uniforms, military work details and snapping to attention at an officer's approach.
"Do we really learn from our past?" John Heitmann wonders, tracing parallels between the internment of German- Americans in the '40s and government plans to intern suspected communists in the '50s, Iranians in the '70s and Iraqis in the '90s. In the FBI Filegate flap of the Clinton administration, in current anti-immigrant sentiment, in anti-terrorist legislation that circumvents due process, historians hear ominous echoes of earlier times.
"There are some intrinsic flaws in human nature that reappear and are reflected in our institutions. It's a story of how institutions end up biting people," Heitmann said. "In a world where there are lots of smoke screens and J. Edgar Hoovers, an individual can really be hurt," he said, acknowledging a professional curiosity that is fueled by a personal quest to discover a part of his family history that is buried under years of silence.
"Self-identity is an important purpose of history. It's a handle or fulcrum of how you understand yourself better. We're all a product of a complicated past. I see this as an example of what anyone can do: history as a process of self-discovery."

We lost a friend.
Eartha and I and many Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans are so sad.
I was rereading Monica Sone's very important book 'Nisei Daughter'.
I agree with Milion S. Eisenhower who asked:
"How could such a tragedy have occurred
in a democratic society
that prides itself on individual rights and freedoms?"
I didn't know that some 10,905 enemy aliens from Germany were interned - along with 16,849 Japanese, 3,278 Italians, 53 Hungarians, 25 Rumanians, five Bulgarians and 161 others.

Monica Sone Fan Club very sad
I'm Reni,
Our very beloved first Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor Member, Monica Sone passed away on September 5, 2011.
Author Gwen Grant shared her thoughts but we got so many other touching messages from our international Betty MacDonald Fan Club members.
Here are only a few examples to show how people feel.
David, author, Japan:
It is indeed sad news. Monica Sone touched many people in her life.
Blessings,
David
Lorinda, Washington State
It is very sad to hear that Monica Sone passed away.
I did not realize she had a Masters in Clinical Psychology - that is really interesting.
I suspect her intelligence was put to good use in that field and she helped a lot of people during her lifetime.
Maybe you could say she took the lemons life gave her and made lemonade!
Yours,
Lorinda
Janet, author and journalist from Seattle:
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.
What a terrible thing my government did to those people!
One boy in my school class was sent there along with his family. Such a shame.
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.
It was wonderful to have him with us again. I have written several articles about him.
Many best wishes,
Janet
Linda, USA:
I enjoyed Monica Sone's book Nisei Daughter very much.
It was a fascinating story of a life long friendship and Monica painted a picture with words.
I learned a lot and am so glad I've read it.
I enjoy any info about Betty MacDonald, her friends and her amazing life.
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.
You have been a friend for a long time now, so maybe Monica Sone's and Betty MacDonald's spirit truly lives on.
Linda
We lost our very good friend Monica Sone and miss her so much.
All our love to Monica Sone's family and friends and to our Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club members,

Monica Sone Memorial
I'm Fumi,
As Monica Sone has so many international fans we had some very special Monica Sone Memorial Services in five continents.
Monica Sone will live in our hearts forever.
( see also Monica Sone Fan Club Newsletter September )
Fumi
in the name of the intenational fans of Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club
Monica K. Sone
Age 92 of Canton passed away Monday afternoon in Aultman Hospital.
Born in Seattle, Wash. she was the daughter of the late Seizo and Ben (Nagashima) Itoi.
Monica spent three years in an internment camp in Idaho during World War II, after which she moved to the Midwest where she started her college years. She graduated from Case Western with a Masters in Clinical Psychology. Her professional life as a clinical psychologist and social worker for the Catholic Community League was a deep source of gratification to her.
Monica authored a book, NISEI DAUGHTER, which depicted her life on the west coast and her experiences in the internment camp. At the time of her death, she was writing her second book. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Geary M. Sone in 1998.
She is survived by her sons, Philip G. Sone of Canton, Peter S. (Irene) Sone of Canton, John K. (Mindy) Sone of Akron; daughter, Susan M. (Gary) Davison of Massillon; grandchildren, Andrew (Ashwini) Davison, Mariko Davison and Stephanie Davison.
Funeral services will be Saturday at 11 a.m. in the Wackerly Funeral Home with Rev. David W. Tebbs officiating. A private burial for the family will take place in North Lawn Cemetery following the service. Friends may call Saturday from 10 to 11 a.m. in the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to your favorite charity. Monica was a magnificent wife and mother. Her gentle accepting spirit will be missed by many. For those unable to attend services you may register on line at our 'On Line Registry Page' at www.wackerlyfuneralhome.com

Betty MacDonald Fan Club members
Good morning, I'm Sabrina
I'm very glad to be a member of Monica Sone and Betty MacDonald Fan Club.

We adore our brilliant Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor members.
Artist and writer Letizia Mancino shares a delightful story. She has so many fans.
Betty MacDonald's friend and Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone, described in Betty MacDonald's The plague and I as Kimi and author of Nisei Daughter, is delighted.......
Have a nice weekend

Monica Sone about Betty MacDonald
It's Sarah,
We are delighted and enjoy these very special easter eggs.
Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel seems to find everything.
These manuscripts and shows are very important and interesting.
Letizia Mancino's Betty MacDonald essay and Betty MacDonald Gallery are outstanding.
I enjoy her artwork every day!
First Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor Member Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter and Betty MacDonald's friend described as Kimi in Betty MacDonald's The plague and I, praises the Betty MacDonald essay written by author Claire Dederer:
Thank you so much for Claire Dederer"s essay on Betty.
Betty would have been so pleased and also astounded that someone had studied her books on such a deep level.
Claire's understanding of Betty's character, also reveals Claire's own ability to do very intelligent, creative analysis.
I am profoundly happy with this, in memory of a wonderful human being.
Love,
Monica Sone
Claire Dederer, Author of Poser : My Life In Twenty-Three Yoga Poses
lives in Seattle and writes about books and culture for the New York Times, Vogue, Newsday, and many other publications:
Thank you so much for this.
It means the world to me. If one can treasure an email, I will treasure this one.
It would be my honor to donate a book to the Betty MacDonald Fan club.
Yours,
Claire Dederer
Soon we'll have a huge international Betty MacDonald Fan Club Event.
Love to you whereever you may be!

Betty MacDonald's framework of fun
I'm Ruth,
First Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honor Member Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter and Betty MacDonald's friend described as Kimi in Betty MacDonald's The plague and I, is sending very special Betty MacDonald birthday greetings:
Dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans,
Betty MacDonald's birthday is such a special occasion to celebrate a unique person. She understood me so well when we met at the sanatarium.
I was young and uncertain about myself and others.
What a talent she had giving of herself in a framework of fun to learn how to laugh at oneself.
What a gift!! No wonder we continue to love her.
Thank you so much for Claire Dederer"s essay on Betty.
Betty would have been so pleased and also astounded that someone had studied her books on such a deep level.
Claire's understanding of Betty's character, also reveals Claire's own ability to do very intelligent, creative analysis.
I am profoundly happy with this, in memory of a wonderful human being.
Love,
Monica Sone
Many greetings to our first Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone.
Thanks a Million dear Monica Sone for these very special Betty MacDonald birthday greetings.
Dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Love,
Ruth
