handicap than most people
with all five senses unim-
paired would even attempt.
During her 12 years at
Brantford's W. Ross
McDonald School for the
Blind, Greta Lammie added
music to her regular school
curriculum. To learn a new
composition she would first
play with the right hand while
the sensitive fingers on her
left hand read the raised notes
of the musical score. When
she had conquered the treble,
her hands would reverse their
tasks, and she would tackle
the bass. The two parts would
then by played together,
memorized, and filed away in
her amazing mind.
Before • coming home to
Hensall, the 19 -year-old
graduate tried her piano and
iolin exams. She
v passed both
with flying colours, and went
into the Conservatory's
record book as the first blind
student to pass the Al CM
violin exam. She obtained her
piano teacher's certificate
from the University of
Toronto.
As very little music was
transcribed into Braille 60
years ago. Miss Laramie did
a great deal of writing to
prepare her students for their
yearly recital in the village's
town hall.
One-time pupil Mrs: Clark
Kennedy, who now lives in
Grand Bend, remembers
wondering why she had to
learn Chopin's Nocturne in-
stead of a jazzy currently
popular tune forone of Miss
Lammie's recitals. Now, with
the benefit of hindsight, Irene
Kennedy. knows why her
teacher insisted on the
classics, and Chopin's Noc-
turne has become one of her
favorite pieces of music.
"We had to play the pieces
right", Mrs. Kennedy recalls.
"She even knew when we had
the wrong fingering. But I
didn't mind going for music
lessons. I never knew Miss
Laramie to be depressed or
cross. She was able to get
around the children and make
them work. They would do it
for her."
Exeter resident Beryl
Elgie, a former neighbour
and -still close friend,
remembers the Lammie
house as always being filled
with laughter. Among Greta's
repertoire of funny stories
A remarkable lady sees more than most of us
- was the tale of the time the
Sunshine Trio (which includ-
ed a blind pianist and blind
elocutionist) were met at a
railway station by a man who
had brought along three
wheel chairs. He had assum-
ed that those who couldn't see
couldn't walk either.
Through the years Mrs.
Elgie has taken her friend
shopping for clothing and
shoes. In appreciation, Greta
knitted her a perfectly fitting
suit she wore for years, and
made husband Bob an in-
tricately patterned curling
sweater.
Until recently Miss Lam-
mie did all her own meal
preparation, baking, canning,
perserving and pickling. A
more you can do'
younger woman now lives
with her, and does the cooking
when she gets home from her
job.
Since Greta Laramie gave
up her piano teaching three
years ago, she has had more
time for reading the talking
books she borrows from the
library, along with the
machine to play the tapes.
Right now she is "reading"
Lotta Dempsey's No Life For
a Lady.
She has curtailed her par-
ticipatign in the Women's In-
stitute and Group IV of the
Hensall UCW, and no longer
walks along the familiar
sidewalks of her home town.
"I'm getting too tottery",
she laughed.

In 1960. Miss Lammie
travelled to Ottawa to receive
a special citation from the
Canadian Council for the
Blind, and her name has been
entered in the Book of Fame
in London. (She mentioned
neither honour while being in-
terviewed; the information
came from a friend.)
Miss Lammie is still active-
ly involved with the Blue
Water Club, 'whose visually
handicapped members raise
money to send to those less
fortunate than themselves -
blind people living in other
countries. –
When pressed to explain
her remarkable
achievements, Greta Lam-
mie will only say "the more
you do, the more you can do."
