Helen Hartness Flanders. Does that name ring a bell? She was my grandmother and I plan to write a book about her life and her ballad collecting.

Since some of the most valuable informants who knew my grandmother are no longer "with us", I would welcome information from anyone who knew her, knows someone who knew her or even those of you who have enjoyed singing from the Helen Hartness Flanders Ballad Collection.

Just so you know...I am in touch with the Flanders Ballad Collection curator at Middlebury College, with Vermont's treasured ballad singer, Margaret MacArthur,... and with "my sisters and my cousins, whom I reckon by the dozens ..and my aunts".

Any suggestions or leads will be appreciated.

Nancy-Jean
