I loved Ferrante & Teicher, too!

I loved Ferrante & Teicher, too!

Thank you for the nice words on the passing of Lou Teicher of "Ferrante & Teicher" fame ["Theme from the soul," Aug. 8].

When I was a child growing up in Brooklyn, my dad had met them through his work.

He told them that he had a daughter who played the piano, and they gave my dad an autographed photo with these words on it, written to me: "We understand you too are a pianist. Keep practicing, and your future will be filled with beautiful music. Sincerely, Ferrante & Teicher."

To an impressionable youngster, that autographed photo was magic! I hung that up on my wall and, indeed, kept practicing.

I still have that photo to this day, and reading the editorial brought a smile to my face (and made me run upstairs and look at that picture once again).

How nice to be from Brooklyn and find someone in Virginia who remembers Ferrante & Teicher and comments on them--and makes that phase of my life come full circle.
