How I met Garrison Keillor
Garrison Keillor did a reading and signing in St. Louis a few years ago. He was as endearing and personable as he seems on the radio and taller than I had quite imagined. If you ever have the chance, attend one of his readings and signings.
A story about Garrison Keillor
My dad was a big Garrison Keillor fan, and used to stop by the MPR booth at the Minnesota State Fair to see him.
Dad took me to one PHC show in Duluth when I was in high school, and I remember very little about it, except that the crew wore jumpsuits with the words “Fritz Electronics” embroidered on the backs.
I love Keillor’s weekly newspaper columns. You can read them online here:
