@GothamGirlBlue @ElizabethDrewOH I’d like to share a 100% true story about @ElizabethDrewOH. Back in ‘02 I worked in a hotel where she stayed while visiting Portland, OR to give the keynote address to the Oregon Historical Society.
@GothamGirlBlue @ElizabethDrewOH Her reservation had some peculiar requests, including a bed board. Of course housekeeping had failed to honor this request so it fell to me to remake her bed with a giant piece of wood between the mattress and the sheets.
@GothamGirlBlue @ElizabethDrewOH Later that evening she called the front desk to complain about room service. Her problem? The kitchen refused to violate health codes by serving her raw hamburger. That’s right, she ordered raw meat.
@GothamGirlBlue @ElizabethDrewOH I remember the date because what happened next was unbelievable. She stayed on 9/10/02. I worked a double back shift that night. So I checked her in the night before and returned to work the next morning. 9/11/02. It was the first anniversary of the terror attack.
@GothamGirlBlue @ElizabethDrewOH It was 9:03 and every church bell in town was ringing. @ElizabethDrewOH called the front desk to complain. “What is all that racket?” She hissed. “I believe we are memorializing the victims of the terror attack last year.” I replied over my shock.
@GothamGirlBlue @ElizabethDrewOH She shot back, “Well I certainly hope it doesn’t last all day” click!
I couldn’t believe it, but it’s totally true-
@ElizabethDrewOH sleeps on a board, eats raw meat, and is repulsed by church bells.
