The Minnesota Public Radio family is shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of our friend and colleague, Tom Keith. Tom was beloved by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him. We will sorely miss his humor, his amazing talents and his friendship, and our hearts and prayers go out to his family and to his colleagues at A Prairie Home Companion.
