1. How did you get interested in the "Little House Television Series"?

I first was interested in "Little House" period in fourth grade while my  teacher's intern, Miss Spinello made us read "Little House in the Big Woods".  I loved that book very much and even aced the comprehension test we had. My  mom promised me "Little House on the Prairie" and so the following weekend,  we drove to Barnes and Noble and I got "LHOTP". I watched the television  series whenever possible, for school gets in the way. I really got into the  show two summers ago, in the morning. I got up around eight, did morning  stuff like clean up. Then nine, Little house came on. On the first day of summer break, I saw the episode where Mary and Adam go somewhere and the  driver of the carriage has something happen to him and the carriage falls and  Mary saves a pregnant woman. I cannot remember the name of the episode though.

2. What's your favorite episode and (Little House Movie Special)?

My favorite episode is "Darkness is my Friend" where Laura and Mary get held   up in the Blind School and Pa posses as Doc Baker.

3. What can web site viewers find on any of your new or future sites?

Well, as you may know, my site, Ultimate Little house Site, is mostly the factual Little House. But I am working on a Melissa Gilbert section. She is one of my favorite actresses.

5. Have you ever written to any of the Cast Members, of Little House?

I have. To Alison Arngrim on America Online Instant Message. She didn't reply  to me though except to brief little replies, making me quite disppointed.

6. What future plans are in store for your LH Site?

I plan to have more things on the television show and more specials on Rose Wilder Lane. I also plan to finish my biographies.

7. If you could name a "Little House" Movie or Reunion Special beginning with *Little House: * What would you name it?

*Little House: The Aftermath* which would have an older Laura writing her   "Little House" books and thinking what happened to all the characters that have died. But we'd have to make Melissa Gilbert and Dean Butler to look old becuase it isn't the same without them in the movie.

8. As a Little House Fan, do you think writing to NBC to request a new Reunion Special, is a good idea? Have you ever written to them before to request a Reunion?

I think it is a good idea. If they have Brady Bunch Television Series Reunions they should have Little House ones too because Little House has been airing much longer than The Brady Bunch has.

9. Have you seen all the Little House Episodes?

By far, no!

10. Have you read the entire series of Little House Books, by Laura Ingalls Wilder?

Yes, I have. My next task is reading all the Rose books. My favorite books by Mrs. Wilder is "Little Town ..." and "Farmer Boy" and  "These Happy ...".

11. Have you attended any of the "Little House" Sites (aka Laura Ingalls Wilder's birthplace, and her home in Walnut Grove?

No, not currently. I am really hoping to go to Mansfield for my birthday, but I doubt it.
