Garrison Keillor: Dancing aboard the Queen Mary 2

I just stumbled across this article in the New Hampshire Union Leader written by Garrison Keillor about his experiences onboard Queen Mary 2. Some of you may recognize him as the eloquent storyteller from Minnesota who hosted the long-running radio variety show "A Prairie Home Companion" on public radio in the US until a couple years ago. Based on the date of this article, he must have been on our June 10-17, 2018 eastbound crossing and we didn't know it. Perhaps if we had spent more time in the Queens Room we might have seen him. The dancers on this forum may especially appreciate this article.

delightful, thanks for the link :-)

I had forgotten how charming Keillor could write. I think he has captured the mystique of the QM2 exactly.

Thank you so much for posting. I blessed the marriage of Garrison and his wife when I was Rector of a parish in New York. He is an extraordinary man and his wife is a delight.He is very shy, but he generously made himself available to our youth groups to give advice, talk about life and careers ; he would often come to church but would slip out quietly and not stay for the ‘sacred’coffee hour.
