For anyone who was part of the fan club or corresponded with Karen & Richard, they are aware of Evelyn Wallace. She was their secretary and made sure to answer every letter sent to the Carpenters. I still have many of the kind notes she wrote back with answers to my teenage questions. Sorry to see another part of the Carpenters legacy leave us.
Here is what Randy Schmidt wrote on his Facebook page:
My dear friend Evelyn Wallace passed away this morning at the age of 93. She was Karen Carpenter's personal assistant and the Carpenters' secretary (and fan club secretary) for many, many years. Ev was instrumental in helping me construct Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter and the new edition of Yesterday Once More: The Carpenters Reader was dedicated to her. I will cherish the hours and hours of my taped interviews with Evelyn. As she would always say: "Rap Later."
