I heard an interview with Maurice Sendak who told a story about a woman who wrote and said her little boy was a huge fan and could she have an autograph for him. He drew a little sketch and signed it. After a while he got another letter from the same woman asking for another autograph. She said her son was so excited about getting the first one that he ate it!secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-28249106754349503262010-05-05T16:51:29.211-04:002010-05-05T16:51:29.211-04:00You know what?

A few days later, two individual letters came back on Buckingham Palace notepaper "I am commanded by the Queen to thank you for the drawings you sent in... the queen thought it was so lovely ..." type of thing. I still have my letter (somewhere) to this day...<br /><br />I remember how Charles Schulz was in practically every newspaper in the land, he must've made an absolute fortune out of Snoopy<br /><br />Well I know he did. Snoopy toys were everywhere... he was on the annual Forbes list at around $35,000,000, which was more than Madonna...<br /><br />WHAT AM I SAYING: it's the 4th of July isn't it?! Dur. I'm so sorry. We had a communist history teacher and so weren't allowed to do American history (well that's my excuse!!)<br /><br />Sorry if this is full of typos/nonsense.

Part of our English lesson involved learning how to properly write letters (what a lost art now!), and when we had mastered it as well as our young minds allowed, we then were assigned to write a letter to someone we admired. So many of the boys in class would write to Charles Schultz, and it was so exciting when the first return letters would start to roll in. We thought it was so amazing that a celebrity would respond so kindly!for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-74850688833825426142010-05-05T08:45:28.868-04:002010-05-05T08:45:28.868-04:00What a precious thing, and what a wonderful gestur...What a precious thing, and what a wonderful gesture!<br /><br />Props to your brother for actually sending his stuff to Charles Schultz; I can easily imagine my childish self making the drawings, and then being too shy to actually send them. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389193386974951036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-19782446800119183562010-05-05T07:52:39.825-04:002010-05-05T07:52:39.825-04:00What a wonderful keepsake.
