When Thomas Edison brought the first recording device to Washington in the 1870s, Ritchie said congressmen were convinced that he was simply a gifted ventriloquist. Ritchie, the author of a foundational book on the subject called “Doing Oral History,” was trying out an introduction for his newest work, a handbook for oral historians. In that handbook, Ritchie ... points out a crucial connection between oral historians and the recording and music industry; whatever recording and playback device is popular among the general public will become the dominant form of record for oral historians as well, he said.

Ritchie had superior numbers to Rommel in terms of manpower – 100,000 to 90,000. Ritchie could ... muster 849 tanks to Rommel’s 560 even if Rommel had more serviceable planes available. However, the major difference came in the tactics used. Rommel used tanks in powerful concentrated numbers while Ritchie did not. On June 12th, two British armoured brigades were caught in a pincer movement and badly beaten. This left Ritchie with only one armoured brigade left.

Ritchie ... pointed out Minnesota has the highest voter turnout, percentage-wise, of any state in the union. The high turnout shows how strongly state residents feel about the political system, something that should be encouraged, not discouraged, he said.

Ritchie first appeared in A Friend In Deed and quickly befriended his fellow Pokémon League competitor, Ash Ketchum. This led to problems in the next episode, Friend or Foe Alike, since the two were matched up to battle against each other. Ritchie won the match, since at the very end Ash's Charizard refused to fight what it considered a weaker opponent and took a nap on the battlefield instead. Even though he lost in the next match to Asunta, he made it to the Top 8 position in the league.

The last performance for Ritchie took place at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa on Feb 2, 1959. Buddy Holly decided to charter a plane for himself, Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup to continue on to the next performance in Moorhead Minn. J.P. Richardson talked Waylon Jennings out of his seat on the plane and Tommy Allsup gave up his seat to Valens. After the Surf performance, Manager Carroll Anderson drove the young musicians to the airport where they boarded the small private plane piloted by 21-year-old Roger Petersen of Storm Lake Iowa. The plane took off into a snowstorm and crashed just a few miles northwest of the airport, killing all aboard.
