The 85-year-old newspaper columnist who has become so famous this past week is a former co-worker of mine. My wife and I have been in a few of her columns, including a very nice review of one of my exhibits at the North Dakota Museum of Art. She really is a very nice lady.
Right now, she's in New York where chef and TV star, Anthony Bourdain, has secured for her a table at Le Bernardin, a restaurant in which mere mortals are not allowed. Next up, Ellen Degeneres and David Letterman.
She's the closest thing to a celebrity in my phone index.
