In the past few years, I have been fortunate to hear from many wonderful people, all of whom, like myself, who have read and loved the book Mrs. Mike. All are hungry for more information about Katherine Mary O'Fallon Flannigan and Sgt. Mike.
Through the years, many of us have learned that Kathy and Mike's love story was fictionalized by the writers Benedict and Nancy Freedman. Yes, Kathy and Mike really existed, but many of the details in the Freedman's book had been fabricated. Yet there is precious little information available on the internet, despite years of searching.
In late October, I received an response to a blog post from a gracious woman, with the initials "MBZ". She told me that she was the great-niece of Kathy Flannigan, and that she and her sister were hoping to learn more information about their great-aunt. She mentioned that she was gratified by the continuing interest in her great-aunt's story.
Unfortunately, she didn't include an email address, so I could correspond with her directly. I did, however, respond to her post, giving my email address, and inviting her to contact me directly. I have also received several messages from others who are also waiting and hoping that MBZ will contact me again.
What a lucky woman, to have such a rich link to a woman whose story has touched millions. MBZ, thank you. I hope to hear from you soon...
