    Today is the birthday of President John F. Kennedy, born in 1917. He said to his fellow Americans “ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

    I was just about to enjoy another evening listening to the Prairie Home Companion while cooking tea. I can remember listening to the show many years ago and wondering about this wonderland called Minnesota. I was enchanted.
    Today, I just want to say thanks.

    Thank you for this edition of TWA. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was taken from us, by his own people, the day before my 8th birthday. I remember it like yesterday. I have visited his tomb many times, and read the many "quotes" etched in stone; I have contemplated many times his reminder that we must reach for the stars (because it is hard) and asked myself many times what I might do for my country.
    Thank you for honoring JFK's birthday this fine morning; it is well to remember our finest on the day of their birth!

    Good morning Mr. Keillor, are there any more coming to our waiting minds? I sure hope so. Your voice starts my day with a calmness I've grown accustomed to. Thank you for the many years of entertainment. I sure do miss PHC. Thankfully I can access your show here on CZcams. I am now sending you big hugs and a firm handshake. Thank you my brotha from anotha motha! Peace Always.

    For all of those wondering what happened to your daily dose of The Writer's Almanac, here is the info I received in an email on May 24th:
    The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor
    WELCOME TO SUBSTACK and the anniversary editions of THE WRITER'S ALMANAC
    Daily emails begin Monday, May 30, 2022
    Garrison Keillor

    Dear Reader,
    As you likely know, The Writer’s Almanac has ended as a podcast and as a radio program. We thank our listeners for nearly 30 years of support - the 25 years that the show ran on public radio and the podcast version since 2018.
    It is indeed the end of an era, and we are truly sorry about that. But here’s the good news: you will now be able to access Writer’s Almanac “anniversary editions” on Substack.
    These versions feature the historical highlights from the particular date years ago, and each will have a link to the audio of the poem for the day. Note: these will be presented as they were way back when - not updated, edited, or corrected.
    For various reasons we are also transitioning from the previous TWA newsletter platform on MailChimp. So welcome to Substack, our new newsletter platform, and a new path to repeats of TWA highlights and daily poems. Enjoy - again.
    Sincerely,
    Prairie Home Productions
    P.S. You will start receiving updates right here in your inbox. You can also log in to the website to read the full archives and other posts as they are published. If you do not find them, please check your spam or junk mail.
    Here is the link to Substack where you can become either a free or paid subscriber: thewritersalmanac.substack.com/
    And here is the link to The Writer’s Almanac home page where you can read & listen to the archived versions: www.garrisonkeillor.com/radio/
    Remember, donations are always welcome :)
    Enjoy!

    • @robertfischer1041
      @robertfischer1041 Před 2 lety

      Wikipedia isn’t always the most reliable source. There’s also the story that old Joe Kennedy paid off all the booksellers to have his son’s book prominently displayed in the front windows and as you entered the store in every major bookstore in the country. Garrison mentioned the 1960 election was the closest of the 20th century, and many believe the most crooked. Mayor Daley’s political machine delivered Illinois that clinched it for the Democrats.
