FameRank: 6

"Thomas Alan Keith" was a radio personality who worked for Minnesota Public Radio in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was the engineer for Garrison Keillor when he began his early morning radio show from the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's University/St. John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota studio. Keillor wanted dialogue during the program and Keith was about the only other person around at that early hour. Keith was one of the primary sound effects performers for the A Prairie Home Companion/Prairie Home Companion radio show and was often an actor in sketches written by Keillor. Keillor created the persona of "Jim Ed Poole" for Keith on the old early morning show. Jim Ed was said to have grown up in West St. Paul, Minnesota and graduated from Henry Sibley High School.

After serving in the United States Marine Corps/Marine Corps, Keith earned a degree from the University of Minnesota. When production of the radio program moved to St. Paul, Tom Keith continued to play Jim Ed who lived in the Hotel Transom with his pet chicken, Curtis.

In my mind, what we've got so far doesn't undermine anything. If Jim comes up with a really good suspect, then the SBI would follow.

I don't think the First Amendment trumps everything.

With his record- that we now know all about - we will be vigorous in our attempt to get active jail time for Mr. Wilson. In the end, though, it will be up to the judge to decide.

If he wants us to do an investigation, I've offered that we have the SBI standing by. This is cooperative. It's not the usual confrontational, sandbagging games.

Most people know more about professional poker players than football players. It's amazing.

I love to play Texas hold 'em. I've found it's such a craze across the nation that I thought it would be a great way to raise money for our nonprofit organizations.
