I wrote to Sesame Place when I was a kid and drew pictures of all the characters; a very ambitious undertaking, lol. I got a letter back saying how much Big Bird and Grover and the others loved the drawing, lol, and an "autographed" photo of Big Bird. Not Carrol Spinney, literally it said "Big Bird." Probably not worth much but I still have it, hehe! :smile:
That's killer, heralde!

I just want to point out that a few official facebook pages could be used to "send" fanmail. There are some that actually are monitered and you will get a responce from either staff or the character themself. I am really impressed with the level of fan recognition on the Dan Vs facebook page

I'm sure back in the day a lot of people sent the letters to the local stations airing the shows and they forwarded them to the network/shows.

The one fan letter I sent as a kid was to Walter Lantz. I got his address from Elvina Green, a cel dealer here in Atlanta who I had bought animation art from. He replied and sent an autographed photo, which I framed and have to this day.
That is so great! Congrats! I like all the other stories too, but I just had to mention how cool the Walter Lantz one is!
