LOUISE RITCHIE

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

• Mrs. Ritchie was my Legal Secretarial instructor at Success Commercial College in 1975. When she asked me "Why are you wasting time in this course - you want to change the laws, not fill out mortgages. You're an anarchist... and you like Monty Python, too!" I blinked in disbelief, and replied, "Wot?" Three years later, in 1978, I saw her on the bus, and showed her my Musician's Union card. Mrs. Ritchie told me, "That's the keyboard you should be behind, not a typewriter, because you are a musician." I not only play piano, but also notate music on manuscript paper. I've also done improv from the piano bench...I'm a perfect bitch with perfect pitch! Oh, yes - I have 9 1/2 pages of lawyer jokes. Mrs. Ritchie was a very perceptive and kind woman, and I am grateful for her patience with me. She appreciated my sense of humour. The Ovaries on the Ivories, Yvette. - Posted by: Yvette Berger (former student) on: Oct 25, 2022
