I remember how the APR people found Keillor to be a very unpleasant and an unkind and incosiderate fellow to his co-workers. Not revered in the manner of Johnny Carson. He was, however, as reclusive as Johnny. Apparently not comfortable in the spotlight. -----Original Message----- From: Sonny Carter Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2012 1:04 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] A Prairie Home Companion In Shreveport On Sun, Jun 10, 2012 at 12:53 AM, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com>wrote: > I was behind Garrison Keillor at Zabars food store a few months ago.

The coffee shop had toasted blueberry muffins to die for, and I could get fruit and veggies from a Korean grocer around the corner. The bus stopped right out front and that connected me to anyplace in the world. I could see the Museum of Natural History from my window.
