I'll make sure to ask if there is anything I need to know. I have had the "Love Songs" CD for a few years, but have just recently started looking deeper into the Carpenters' music. I just bought the "Gold" CD and am enjoying it quite a bit.

One thing... which folder is the best for asking Carpenters trivia? Being a Disney fan myself (obviously), I am interested to know what kind of Disney collectibles that Karen had, were they animal lovers (I work in the veterinary field), and what role does Richard play in fandom? Thanks!

You should go to General Chat for this kind of stuff

Karen and Richard had two dogs, a beautiful Belgian Shepherd she called "Lady" and a Samoyed she named "Mush". Karen collected everything Disney and other stuffed toys, she was once given a huge purple stuffed elephant by Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

As for Richard, he still to this day generously replies to fan letters and requests for signatures. I know a lot of fans who have asked for this kind of thing and received a signed picture back. He still lives in Thousand Oaks, California today with his wife Mary and 5 children: Kristi, Mindi, Traci, Colin and Taylor. Taylor is so cute!!

Hope this helps

Thanks so much, Stephen!
I read on the Carpenters' official website that Richard will sign CD inserts, but I was afraid to send one for fear of not getting it back. Has anyone done this? Does Richard respond to emails?

You're welcome. Yes he does sign CD inserts too . He doesn't have a direct email contact address but if you email his assistant at the official Carpenters site, www.richardandkarencarpenter.com, she relays messages to him and she replies on his behalf. We here have asked him many questions, which he dictates the answers back to his assistant and she posts them on the 'Fans Ask' section of that site. You should check it out, it's a fascinating read
