From Squiggles To Pearls Of Wisdom ...: A Lifelong Love Affair With Pitman Shorthand
“From Squiggles To Pearls Of Wisdom … A Lifelong Love Affair With Pitman Shorthand” by Pamela Smit
They say “an army marches on its stomach”. This is a book not written by one of the movers and shakers of the sixties and seventies Australian corporate and public world, but by one of those women who devoted their lives to supporting those movers and shakers by dealing with the everyday minutiae of business which truly enabled the Corporate and Public Service world to march. Pamela did so at a time when Australia was undergoing a transition from the old style business model to the modern one we take for granted today, which includes such a heavy reliance on information technology, unseen and unheard of when she first started.
All this is set against the backdrop of the great transition in Australian social life that occurred after twenty plus years of moribund Liberal Government and the fresh generation that ushered in the Whitlam era.
Pamela writes an accurate and sometimes moving account of those days and the characters that inhabited both the private and public worlds that she moved in. She has dedicated the book to her Mother because if not for her tireless support, Pamela would never have had the unique opportunity to experience this momentous change in Australian business and public life.
