I really wanted to share this with you and all of Karen and Richard's fans. when I was a teen I always wrote to Karen, for me in the 70's I was almost alway's alone, not by choice that was just the way it was for me. One day I really got tired of feeling this way so I wrote to Karen about this. Some time later( about 2 to 4 weeks later not sure) I got a letter from the fan club saying" Hi Beth, thanx so much for your very nice note. Please rest assured all Karen & Richard's fans are regarded as friends too, even if they don't meet them all personally. Have a happy New Year. sincerly". I thought that on Karen's Birthday I would share this with you all  Beth |

Hi Beth. Thank you for sharing this with us. I was alone alot as a young teenager. Both parents worked fulltime and my sister was older so she was always gone. I spent a lot of time at home listening to music, mostly Carpenters. I used to write alot of letters. I had a few penpals, one from the Carpenters fan club. I also wrote to the fan club several times a year and always got a note back from them.

hi Beth...how very thoughtful of Karen and thanks for sharing such a great memory! I think of how very alone and lonely it must be for such performers being on the road all the time and away from their real homes. Certainly, many of the C's songs specifically deals with being alone and wanting an easier life. I know for sure that their music was very comforting ...still is...to those of us who did spend their early yrs. listening to the C's.
