KRITZWISER, Kay -- I Remember
By Erika RITTER, Thursday, December 15, 2005, Page S9
Toronto writer and broadcaster Erika RITTER writes about Kay KRITZWISER, whose obituary ran on December 9.
In Regina back in the 1950s, Kay KRITZWISER was an elegant young widow who worked for the Leader-Post, while raising a small son on her own. That would have been enough for most women -- or men. But Kay also set herself the challenge of starting up a children's theatre. My mother made sure my brother and I got to see those shows. But it's Kay I credit -- or blame -- for leading me, however unintentionally, toward a life in the theatre. In a parochial Prairie city of half a century ago, she opened up a world of dramatic possibility for hundreds of suggestible kids.
My mother took me and my brother to see those plays. She had worshipped Kay ever since the early 1930s, when the two women met at the Leader-Post. Kay, still a teenager herself, edited a supplement to showcase the work of adolescent authors. As one of those young writers, my mother never forgot Kay's kindness, nor her editorial gifts -- nor her outstanding chic.
Later, Kay left Regina for a job down east at The Globe and Mail. After moving to Toronto myself many years later, Irenewed the contact -- initially for my mother's sake, but ultimately for my own.
In her Davisville Avenue apartment, hung with wonderful art, Kay would demand, "Ideas! I'm hungry to hear some fresh ideas!" Mindful of all that she'd given my mother and me back in Regina, I always did my best to oblige her.

He is survived by his wife, Jacqueline RITTER and son, Richard Eric RITTER, his parents Elizabeth and Erhard RITTER of Winnipeg. Tex is predeceased by his son John Thomas RITTER.

Prior to Air Canada, Tex was a Flying Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1960-1966. Tex, being a devoted family man, found himself volunteering for Skate Canada clubs and events in support of his sons' participation in figure skating. He was a man filled with passion for humanity and animals. His "24 paws" at home will miss him dearly. Tex was known for his sense of humour, which kept him stable throughout his final journey. His smile, his generosity, and compassion for others was contagious. He will continue to keep all of us under his wing. "Adios". A Celebration of Life Service for Tex will be held 1: 30 p.m. on Friday, February 18, 2005 at Knox Presbyterian Church, 89 Dunn Street, (at Lakeshore Road), Oakville.
