This Friday Mom spoke at CHEO. The new Akron conference center was really nice and we preferred it to the old Columbus one. Mom had a good sized crowd and we actually met some nice people afterward. So, as a friend wrote in a card to Mom this weekend, we are Praying for "seeds to be planted and roots to go down deep". Sarah and I spent some time in the Vendor's Hall looking at the Lamplighter Publishing booth. I got "The Lost Clue", an old mystery story that looks really interesting. Old mysteries are so different from Christie's.
This week we received two more great autograph responses. On Friday we received them from Jane Powell (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers). We sent a photo and piece of sheet music for each of us, and they came signed and personalized! We couldn't be more thrilled. I think they are so much more special when they personalize them. She has a beautiful signature too, with how the "J" loops down to become the "P".
The other ones we got back were from Joan Fontaine (Olivia de Havilland's sister). We sent two photos on June 1st and on the 10th we received our SASE back with only my photo which was signed and personalized. So, we sent another photo and two pieces of sheet music back the next Monday and yesterday received them back all signed.
Actually, we were kind of happy that she was the one that had a mistake because after we sent the first photos, Sarah decided to do her scrapbook on this line of papers that looks like old wallpaper. So she is matting all her autographed photos in picture frames. Well, when we went to reprint her photo for Joan Fontaine, she decided that it would be easier to print the frames on the photos (in case someone signs all the way to the edge). Also, I hadn't thought about sending pieces of sheet music from our collection until after, so that was nice that we got those autographed as well. We are both really happy about all the autograph responses that we have gotten so far!
