Longtime secretary for senator dies

An obituary of Doris Lovett, a remarkable woman who was “nearly a half century in the back halls of power.” And her skill as a stenographer evidently played no small role in getting her there. She would have been an Anniversary writer, and:

Her Gregg shorthand was “just like it came out of the book, . . .”

Now granted this doesn’t reach the height of the great Mr. Swem, consulting daily with the President, but still a good example of a Gregg writer who wielded power—and that is as it should be!  🙂

  1. It was curious for me how many times the name Baker was mentioned in the story. At times I thought I was reading a bio of the Bakers, instead of Ms. Lovett! Anyway, she was a remarkable human being. God bless her soul.
