(From Bolchazy-Carducci)
Garrison Keillor pays tribute to his college Latin professor during the September 10, 2011 edition of Prairie Home Companion. Keillor's very first class he attended as a freshman at the University of Minnesota in 1960 was "Latin Readings" with Professor Margaret Forbes. A Google™ search shows that the January 14, 2006 show contained a similar tribute to Professor Forbes.
As part of the tribute, University of Minnesota Professor Emeritus of Classical and Near Eastern Studies, Robert Sonkowsky recited the Latin of Horace's Ode 1.22. This poem was one of the Latin selections studied in Keillor's "Latin Readings" course.
