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. Hensall Freeze King Now Open Hours: Mon.-.Thurs. 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. Fri. and Sat. 11 a.m. - 12 midnight Sunday 11 a.m. 11 p.m. Phone 262-2838 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."
