Reply #16: I met him at a Kerry fundraiser [View All]

[nolabear]

I posted this elsewhere before I realised the thread was up, but I met him at a fundraiser for John Kerry at which, for understandable but disappointing reasons, Kerry didn't show. He was nice enough to wish me well as a writer and then went out and kept the enormous crowd eager and happy in spite. I have loved his work forever, and aspire to have him read one of my poems on The Writer's Almanac (and am terribly envoius of two friends who have had that pleasure).

Be well and do good work, Mr. Keillor.
