View Full Version : 2001 and 2002 Family letters

Hi, folks,

If anyone is interested, I have both the 2001 and 2002 family letters saved as word documents, and a lot of questions that people are asking on some of these threads are addressed by them. I would be glad to share them with you if you are interested. I don't think I can post them online because my guess is that they are copyrighted, but sharing one on one would probably be all right. Anyone know if this is so?

Peace, Valerie

I never even heard of these "family Letters." I would like to read them. Would you e-mail them to me?

I don't know anything about copyrights, though. So only if it's OK. :)

I'll pm you my e-mail addy, K? :)

Hi, Jamee,

After Amy D. stopped publishing her monthly newsletter, she did a once-a-year update for a few years that people could have sent to them for $1.00 and a SASE. I still have the texts of two of those years, and they are fairly lengthy and comprehensive letters. Some folks have wondered how her kids handled this lifestyle as they grew older, and this will help clarify that picture as well, since in one letter her oldest is getting ready for college, a couple of others are in high school, etc.

There are a few folks who have pm'ed me with your emails; since the letters are stored on my other computer, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get them off to you. But I'll do that ASAP.

Peace,

Hi, folks, I sent the letters out to ten of you who requested them; there was one person who didn't include their email address, but I have sent you a private message asking for it; so hopefully I can get this out to you. Anyone else that would like the letter?

Peace,

Thank you Valerie! Do you know if she still does this? I mean all the way into 2005?

Jamee, I believe she stopped doing these a year or two ago; they were just more than she wanted to continue doing. For all the rest who would like a copy, just private message me with your email addresses, and I'll be glad to get them out to you.

Peace,

Thank you Valerie! I printed mine off and read them that evening. Now they sit upside down in my printer for use of the other side of the paper ;)
I really enjoyed them though, thanks again.

I would like a copy too... I think Amy D's was one of the first frugal books I read.

Valerie
09-12-2005, 02:14 PM
I just sent out another batch of letters, so if you requested a copy prior to today, you should have a copy. If not, let me know and I will resend.

Enjoy!

Does anyone know if she continues to do this? It sounded like at the end of the 2002 letter that she was doing one for 2003. I guess I could always send a letter to the address on the letter and just inquire, but I wondered if anyone knew anything.

I'm going to try and PM you too. Amy D. was the first person to get me on board with frugality being a challenge and way of life, instead of something to be dreaded. I owe a lot to her and, as I now have older teens, I'm curious how she handled things during those years.

Hi, folks, I have to apologize--I was on vacation from 9/15 to 10/2, and didn't let you know. I've just finished going through my private messages, and have sent letters to all who requested the letter that way; I'll read through the current posts here to make sure I haven't missed anyone else who might have asked for these letters as well. Let me know if have not received them from me, and I'll be glad to try again!

Peace, Valerie

Valerie,
I have just found this thread and I hope that you could also help me.
I would so much like to read a copy of the TG newsletters. Amy is also for me the person who got me tuned into frugality and I believe that I have read her books at least 30 times.
Please please could you email me the newsletters?
Thank you.

Hi, folks, I've been doing this for a couple of years now, and will be leaving the Frugal Forum--I'm cutting down on my computer time, and this is one of the sites I will be letting go of. Anyone else want to become the contact person for these letters?

It's been a good place to be, and there are lots of nice folks here; but I've got to become more frugal with my time use now!

Peace, Valerie

I would like them too. I live a few towns away from Amy and her family. I used to work at Caswell's were they shopped for bargain ( also mentioned in her books). I used to bump into them around town, but haven't lately. It would be nice to have a recent update. Thanks to anyone that will email me a copy.
