Title: Friends of Dennis Wilson / Dennymania Post by: DonnyL on July 17, 2015, 04:49:32 PM I remember when I was a young teenager in the '90s, there was a sort of home-made fanzine that I used to get ... I'm sure the old-timers here remember it.
Anyway, I seem to recall seeing a reprint of a handwritten Christmas card that Dennis sent to the fan club ... If my memory is correct, I believe it said something like, "Thank you to all of my fans who took the time to write to me in the Dennymania newsletter", and was dated very close to the end (maybe December 23, 1983?). Kind of interesting that Dennis was writing Christmas cards/fan letters during this period ... it's always been assumed that Dennis was sort of "out of it" at this time, but this would suggest he might have been a little more together. Any thoughts or memories? Anyone have a scan of this card?

Unless someone beats me to it (and feel free to do so), I'll try and get it uploaded here.

Hope it's ok to link to your thread with scan over on Pet Sounds forum, if it isn't I'll delete this. http://petsoundsforum.com/thread/2076/dennis-final-christmas-message Really touching if sad (date looks like it could be the 23rd) :'( Text is "Dear Chris, Please send my warmest holiday wishes to all the nice people who have taken the time to write to me in the Dennymania newsletter. Sincerely, (signature)" :love It may be dictated but I believe the words and feelings behind them were real.

I can see if my scanner will work, and I'll do what I can in scanning a shot of what you are asking for.
