Caroll Spinney Success But... (Read if you wanted to write)

Unread post by Becky »

Today I received a lovely success from Big Bird himself, Caroll Spinney.

I wrote a lengthy letter to him on the 12th September to the Woodstock address in the database and included my Follow That Bird dvd sleeve.

Today I saw a fairly small envelope in my mailbox with his postal address in the corner (not the envelope I included with my letter), I pretty much assumed then that I wasn't getting my dvd sleeve back, but oh well...

He sent me a bunch of signed pics, a nice letter, and a lovely print out of a Christmas illustration he'd done.

But in his letter he mentioned that I was 'just in time' as he's going to stop answering fan-mail as he's realised he has hundreds of letters he wont ever be able to reply to. He still works and just doesn't have the time.

Just thought I should let you guys know incase any of you were planning on writing/sending things to him.

You can see my blog entry and all the scans here -

Hi Becky :)

Thank you for your feedback {up}

Would you have a scan of the envelope and picture you received please?
If so, you are in the run for the $10 gift certificate.

Yeah I think a note should be added to his address in the database, no point people sending things or paying postage when he's said himself he's having to stop signing.

Here is the envelope -

ACTUALLY. He says this ALL THE TIME. Every so often he says "I'm not signing TTM anymore" but instead he takes a break and i guess when hes bored he starts it again...and does a batch and when hes tired he says hes not signing lol
