It's just that it's been long enough - at least a couple to four years - that I honestly can't remember how long she took to answer me . . . . When she did, I wrote her a thank-you letter which she also answered so . . . be patient and you may get even luckier!!
One thing to consider is that Kay Linaker is now 94 years old (will be 95 this summer). Although her general health is reportedly pretty decent she may not be able to personally answer correspondence as quickly as she used to, assuming she can at all (even if her mental health is good physical difficulties may impair her writing).
A gentleman on another board who occasinally wrote Marc Lawrence noted that his letters back grew shorter and more infrequent the older he got. Unfortunately time catches up to us all eventually.
Hopefully you will hear from her at some point. Please let us know if you do.
Many thanks to Virginia and Steve. Yes, I hope to hear from Miss Linaker. From what I've read, she's a very busy lady! Perhaps I will hear from her between semesters. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know.
Speaking of Marc Lawrence, a few/several years back I was very fortunate to meet him at an autograph/memorabilia show at the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn in Studio City. Sometime I'll have to tell the story of meeting the man behind "Steve McBirney's" mask. lol
