Paul draws Pattie

This is such an interesting item.   And it is available (where else?) on ebay right now.     This really does show how kind the Beatles girls were to the fans.   Pattie had her own career in 1965 and the last thing she HAD to do was calling her boyfriend's fans in the United States and chatting with them for hours.    And yet that is exactly what Pattie was doing....calling up fans and chatting with them and putting John or George on the phone with them if the timing was right.    And yet Pattie feels badly for one particular fan named Kathryn from Michigan.  It seems that when Pattie rang her up one day, Kathryn got a bit tongue tied and didn't know what to say.   I am sure MANY of us would have became the same way.   Kathryn might have hung up feeling embarrassed and like she missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime, but because of her shyness,  Pattie sent her a very special gift.   Paul had drawn a pencil sketch of Pattie (I have no clue why) and signed it on the bottom.   Pattie signed it on the top and passed it along to Kathryn.  Wow!   I can't make this stuff up!   Sometimes this Beatles fan history just blows my mind.

Just a side note:   I had to laugh when I read the part in Pattie's letter about John and George going to the dentist at 9pm.    We ALL know today what type of special dentist these two had in 1965!
