Garrison Keillor,
Mr. Keillor,
I am so sorry your show was poorly received in Oklahoma. I love your work and really don't understand why Oklahoma City didn't like you. (Must have been redneck night.) I do however understand why you wouldn't like Oklahoma City. Please come back sometime. There really are some thinking people in Oklahoma that appreciate you.

Billy Elden,
Hi to Billy in Goose Hollow from your kin and old cronies in Lake Wobegon.
Give us a ring when you get to the other side,...
if it wouldn't put you out too much.
A note to Garrison: This may be our Dad's last show and we want to send him off being mentioned on his favorite radio show for the past several decades. It would mean a lot to him to hear this read by you on tomorrow's show.
- Scotty Elden

In Garrison Keillor's latest book, Lake Wobegon native Margie Krebsbach dreams up the idea of a trip to Rome, hoping to get her husband Carl to make love to her — he's been sleeping across the hall and she has no idea why. She finds a patriotic purpose for the journey. A Lake Wobegon boy, Gussie Norlander, died in the liberation of Rome, 1944, and his grave, according to his elderly brother, Norbert, is in a neglected weed patch near the Colosseum...
It's a story of Wogegonians in a strange land, telling stories of kinship and self-revelation — all delivered with Keillor's trademark humor.

From Garrison Keillor:
“When I was 16, Helen Fleischman assigned me to memorize Shakespeare’s Sonnet No. 29, ‘When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state’ for English class, and fifty years later, that poem is still in my head. Algebra got washed away, and geometry and most of biology, but those lines about the redemptive power of love in the face of shame are still here behind my eyeballs, more permanent than my own teeth. The sonnet is a durable good. These 77 of mine include sonnets of praise, some erotic, some lamentations, some street sonnets and a 12-sonnet cycle of months. If anything here offends, I beg your pardon, I come in peace, I depart in gratitude.”
