Do you want to know a secret?


























While on the plane to L.A. I re-read the book written by Pat Kinzer Mancuso called Do you want to know a Secret. It is a really good book and I think you all need to buy it! I won't go into the full story, but the gist is that Pat started the official George Harrison fan club from her home in Pennsylvania. After advertising in a Teen magazine, it grew to be a big fan club. In August 1968 Pat and some of her friends set out for London and met George Harrison! George was extremely kind to them and posed for photos, signed a bunch of things and chatted with the girls. To me it seemed like George really went above and beyond for them and they appreciated it. They came back a year later and had a shorter visit with George (those photos were posted in March so you can see them in the archives). Sadly all fan clubs were ended by George in 1972 and there is some controversy there regarding it. I do recommend Pat's book. She seems like a such a sweet, caring individual and someone I would like to call friend.
