I have several of her shows as mp3 files and one can buy them all on line now. She published several articles in various magazines. Live audience talks by Mae did happen - but were very rare. At the end of her life [the last years] she didn't go out much, and was getting death threats. As I said, the mysterious house that had cars with blackened windows drive in and out, usually at night, burned to the ground on the very day she died.....coincidence or conspiracy...I say most probably the latter. She was on to something very hot in her last months!..and she knew it - but Mae was on to hot stuff all along!!!. Last I heard, her archive is still in active contention as to who has control and what should be done with it...very sad...it is invaluable and has likely had some things removed by now. John Judge was a major in that battle, but with his sad death, I don't know who has taken over his efforts to see them put into an archive intact. I know one daughter doesn't want her letters to be part of the archive, but they are some of the best parts..she got letters from and to everyone..but that is another matter for another time. I think I posted on that here about three years back.
From Baylor last July (2015)...
Thank you for your gift to the JFK Collection Fund to assist in securing the Mae Brussell Collection. We appreciate your enthusiasm in supporting this acquisition. Unfortunately, Baylor University (W. R. Poage Legislative Library) and Ms. Diane Brussell could not work out an agreement for this transfer and the collection will remain with the Brussell Family.
I am writing to inform you of this recent development and provide you with three options for the redistribution of your gift from the JFK Collection Fund.
