Kenneth on Dining with the Queen of Thailand

Kenneth on Dining with the Queen of Thailand

The Queen sent word around that she would like to come to dinner at the Landons' home. She named the night and the time, which was the royal prerogative. The Landons had the dinner catered there at 4711. The Queen got quite emotional when she heard one of the classical Thai songs that Kenneth's daughter was playing: it was the favorite song of her late husband. In a later visit to Thailand Kenneth called in to see the Queen.
