Museuming The day the sun didn’t set The longest day of the year is this week. On June 21, I always think the days will begin getting shorter now. One time I went to Europe on the longest day of the year. I left Minneapolis at 6 p.m. Minneapolis is halfway to the North Pole. The day had been balmy and perfect, as is often the case in June. I flew northeast over eastern Canada and over Greenland, almost right over the top of the world. It was daytime all night (like in Alaska). It was the only 52-hour period in my life I ever spent when there was no night, only solid sunshine. Earphones went to each seat so it was quiet so others could sleep with a variety of movies being shown all night. At the beginning of the trip we were fed an elaborate dinner. Then about 4 a.m. we were fed an elaborate breakfast. About 7 a.m. I arrived in London. From the air, I remember landing at Heathrow Airport outside London. I really wanted to see Queen Elizabeth and I did! I was standing on the corner, waiting to cross the street at Windsor Palace and she came by in her limousine. I was only a few feet from her. She had on a big hat with ostrich feathers in it so you could see her very well. I waived frantically but she put her nose in the air and just sailed right past me. I couldn’t help but think of when I was little, my dear mother tried to get me to write to the little princess so far away in England. The queen and I are exactly the same age and she’s ruling the world! Mother said, “She probably doesn’t have a pen pal in America” and she probably didn’t, but I was too busy playing to pause and do something that incredible. The queen always spends June at Windsor Castle and has tea for her friends there. Maybe she would have asked me if I hadn’t been too busy to write her. Then I would have been on the inside of the castle instead of on the street corner. I had been inside the courtyard and her husband, Prince Phillip, came out to meet the commoners, so I got to meet him and shake his hand. On another trip I went to England and Prince Charles had a party for us on the polo field. That was when Michael was with the World Football League. Michael did so much good having the World Super Bowl there that the queen started to knight him (wish she had). In that Super Bowl game England beat Spain. For it we sat in the queen’s private box at Wimbledon. England is a good place for Americans to go because they speak English there, the queen’s English with a high tone accent. Sixty years ago when the queen was crowned, I was the only one living in Vet village on the Old Miss campus with a television, so I invited all Vet Village neighbors in to enjoy the coronation at 7 o’clock in the morning. I made donuts and coffee, everybody came and we all enjoyed seeing the new queen. Back to the United States, do any of you remember 1952 and 1953 when Elvis Presley used to strum his guitar and sing on the square in front of Stafford’s Café? We didn’t pay much attention. Elvis’ cousin, Toby Feathers, helped him sing and it was great. They were making history on the aquare. I hear there are more Feathers now who have great talent also. I wish they had Colonel Parker, too. The world could have a resurge. If any of you history-minded people want to have a great adventure, come along with us tentatively on July 7 when we’ll be traveling to southwest Marshall County. We have limited capacity and the cost of the tour will be $20. It will be a whiz bang tour beginning at 1 p.m. and going until 4:30 or 5 p.m. There will be no food and not many (if any) rest stops.
