Jess was my "Personal Manager" for many years, but he was quite a bit
more than that. He was sort of like a third parent. When I was a
teenager, my friends used to tease me that I was the only person they
knew who had, "a mother, a father and a Jess".
</p><p>
And well, now I don't have him anymore.

He led a very interesting life, (to put it mildly!), and I really had trouble getting everything he did into an obituary. <a href="https://howiegreen.com/alison/jess_petersen.htm">To read Jess's biography click here</a>

<b>Alison's comedy album "Heeere's Amy!"</b>
<br>
- back from the great beyond!
</font></p><p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2">
UPROAR Entertainment has re-released the comedy album Alison did back in
1977. It's called "Heeere's Amy!" and is a series of rather bizarre
comedy sketches involving the daughter of President Jimmy Carter and her
encounters with various idiots around the White House. It stars Alison,
her mother and several 1970's comedians who went onto become quite
famous....
</font></p>
<p>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2">
For an explanation as to how - or for heaven's sake WHY - such a thing
came into being, check out the explanation on her Tumblr page: <a herf="http://alisonarngrim.tumblr.com" target="parent">"Heeere's Amy!" the back story</a>
</font></p><p><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2">
Many fans have tracked this down and bought the old vinyl version on
E-Bay. But now, the past has gone digital and you can now download
"Heeere's Amy!" to your I-Pod. Now available at UPROAR, Amazon, I-Tunes
and all sites that sell downloadable comedy.

It may be because of rather than despite a lifetime of being loathed
for her onscreen personality that Arngrim is an immensely likable
narrator. She hilariously portrays 1970s Hollywood among a family of
actorsliving in the Chateau Marmont and making soup from KFC chicken
bones. Arngrim has no shame in bowing to the B-list celebrity gods and
opens the door to the Little House in order to promote activism for
people with HIV and abuse survivors.

The Maquinna Line: A Family Saga is set on Vancouver Island from 1871 to
1945, with a nod to the meeting of Captain Cook and Chief Maquinna in
1778. It traces the stories of the five families of varied social
standing, including two descendents of Chief Maquinna. In the end,
theyre all ordinary people trying to find happiness in the face of
intrigue, ambition, misunderstanding and changing social and sexual
mores. </font>
<p><font face="Arial,Helvetica" size="2"> A murder, a tryst, a mysterious child. A Victoria aristocrat who
obsesses over her Churchill relatives. A repressive Welsh mother with a
royalty fixation. A once-carefree Hesquiat girl from Nootka Sound. A
dashing Icelandic philanderer. And quiet, steady Julia Godolphin, trying
to rise above it all. The lost novel of Norma Macmillan, the Vancouver
actress who lived much of her life in New York and Hollywood, is the
work of a woman steeped in the American entertainment industry but
deeply in love with the history of her native province, which eventually
drew her home before her death in 2001. </font> </p></td>

<li> Go to the fabulous website for the <a href="http://www.walnutgrove.org/" target="parent">Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum</a> in Walnut Grove, Minnesota. </li>
<li> Click on Museum tab then Museum Shop then to Related Books & TV
Stars' Books, and click on Alison's book (Add To Cart). This will take
you to the shopping cart, what is basically an order form. </li>
<li> Look for the box that says "Ordering Notes". See it?
Good. Now type in your request. Tell them you want the book personally
autographed to you. You can also request a certain dedication. ("From
One Bitch To Another" is quite popular!) </li>
<li> Then just order the books. It will take 2 to 3 weeks,
because they then ship the book to Alison and she signs it and sends it
back to Walnut Grove. Or if you don't need a personal dedication, just order an
autographed book (found elsewhere on the site) and it will arrive
sooner. (And while you're there, check out the authentic Prairie
bonnets and dresses!)
