Hey everyone- I sent an email to the official site asking a couple of personal questions about Richard. I asked if he and his cousin Joanie are still close and how many kids did Richard and Mary have. (I thought 4) It took about a week to get a response. I didn't know if the questions would be answered on the web site, if at all. I copied the email below. Thanks for your nice note. Yes, Richard and his cousin Joanie are still close. Joanie visits frequently. Richard and his wife Mary now have 5 children (only one boy!) so they keep very busy! Sincerely, -- Becky Boxberger Personal Assistant to Richard Carpenter www.richardandkarencarpenter.com

I too have had some wonderful responses to my personal questions on the new website. Richard is a very private person, so it must be somewhat difficult for him to be this open. I think it's good for him and good for us. Together we can reach a new level of acceptance of Karen's death. I believe it's definitely needed based on Richard's comments on ET and our own sadness about it in many of our postings. Bravo to Richard for sharing personal info about himself and about our Karen.

hi Moe...HOW great to have such a response to your questions. I think it's turning out to be a great great site for Richard and everybody. I'm not close to my brother, we get along....we live in different worlds...of course, we will always have a connection I feel, but not anything like it must have been for such a pair of siblings who shared so much music and memories together. It's pleases me to know that his kids enjoy the music and show some talent in that way. I think maybe somehow Karen knows what's going on ...and that it makes her even more happy than she must already be in heaven..if that's possible to be made even happier in the most perfect of places!
