Cowsill Chronicle


FROM THE EDITOR


Hi!

Just luv getting all your letters! I'm going to try to answer as many of your questions as we have space for.

Sandy Ganger, Lorrie Mackain, Linda Kirk, Barbie Emslie, L.R. from New Jersey, and Linda Leonard all wrote to find out if The Cowsills are going to have their own television show! At the moment nothing has been set, but we hope to have some news for you soon. Don't worry, you'll be the first to know!

We've also gotten questions about the possibility of setting up regional and even international fan clubs for The Cowsills. At this point we want to have things remain just as they are. That's really just to protect all of you Cowsill fans. So until we let you know otherwise, there will just be one Cowsill Fan Club headquarters in Los Angeles. We want everybody who is a Cowsill luvver to keep in touch with us, so if you do know someone who is a fellow fan living outside the U.S., why don't you have them get in touch with us. We could make sure they, too, get all the Cowsill news, and maybe they'd enjoy joining our Cowsill Penpals. Thanks to Kenny Lynn and others who let us know that they would love to head up either regional or international organizations. When the right time comes, we'll keep you in mind!

If, by any chance, you're like Peggy Barry, you may have gotten two Fan Club membership cards. If you have more than one, keep one and send the other back to us. Originally it was quite a job organizing various lists of fan club members and people who wanted to join the Cowsill Fan Club. So sometimes we goofed, but I know you fabulous fans will all understand.

One of our problems has been the fact that many of you have written complaining that your poster orders do not seem to reach you quickly enough. We're happy to hear from you any time, and want to know when you're dissatisfied with something. One of the reasons that posters went out more slowly than first planned is that your Cowsill Fan Club's new v-p, Chrystal, was involved in a traffic accident just prior to the holidays and couldn't come in to work for a couple of weeks. Now that she's well and on the job, we're doing our

DIANE'S MAILBOX


Dear Diane:

This is just a short note to thank the grooviest people, namely The Cowsills, for being so kind as to let me write about them in our school newspaper. The cooperation of Chrystal Ford, Diane Warner, and the rest of their fan club staff has been so fantastic that I think they should be commended in the Chronicle.

If you've written to The Cowsills and haven't gotten a reply yet, hang in there! You're bound to get a terrific letter back soon.

So, on behalf of the entire Goddard High School "Telestar" staff, thanks for being you. We're keeping you number one.

LETTERS
all kinds


Dear Mrs. Cowsill:
During the summer I went to Atlantic City twice to see The Cowsills perform. After the show, I went outside and waited HOURS to see the boys and Susan. Right before the late show they came out and I was lucky enough to get to talk to them all and get their autographs. I had heard people say that The Cowsills were stuck up and all. I said I wouldn't believe it unless I were there. And I WAS there. They were the most friendly and warm people I had ever talked to. And they don't even act like stars. They acted HUMAN. They joked around and answered questions. I was never happier in my life. Your family made my summer complete. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

— Marianne Libertella Glendora, N.J.

Dear Mrs. Cowsill:
I know you won't print this because it dares to say a word against you. I'm writing this because I don't think girls should go batty over some boy they've never met. Unfortunately, my sister is flipped out, freaked out, and has gone completely bongos (not to mention bananas) over John Cowsill (your son, remember?) Well, you seem to me to be awfully conceited, and I don't see what she sees in him. The last girl who wrote you dying of "everlasting love" was told, in simpler language, to "bug off; we don't need you." Let the kid meet John. She'll probably have built him up so big that when she sees he's just an over-publicized singing slob who is a boy just like any other, she'll leave. Your sons are cute, but there are just as many cute boys (some cuter) on my block. (One of them is my fiance.) I know I sound rotten, but I really do like your music and many times have wondered how you can raise seven kids without going batty. I know I'd deny they were all mine!

Dear Mrs. Cowsill:
I saw Susan on the Dean Martin Show. It really got me mad. That Joey Heatherton got to sing three times on the show. It's not that I minded, but at least they could have let Sue sing alone for the two minutes she had. But, no, Dean Martin had to sing with her.
