Synopsis

Getting through four years of college and then getting into graduate school was like a game. The stakes were high: Either get accepted to get a master’s or get sucked into the Vietnam conflictBut which school to choose? Take his bride and make the pilgrimage to Iowa State University, the mecca of printmaking, or a college close to a beach? Playing the art school game, what matters most is the MFA degree. The beach won over, but it also meant the prize was an MA degree - not the coveted MFA.Uncle Sam beckoned him, but the gamble paid off. Then began a new game - college ranking. Here’s where the 25-year old green art teacher stood his trial-by-fire. It’s three strikes and he’d be out. Fail to reach the next rung on the ladder and everything they strived for would be lost; and the Vietnam war was worsening.Bill Ritchie’s life story of the years 1961-1970 reads like a screenplay for a biopic. Boy meets girl, boy marries girl, boy and girl live a college life with an adventurous trip to Europe and back.Meanwhile, the cool Seattle art scene warmed up and the University of Washington School Of Art became a playing field for games-people-play; however, for students, it’s not a game.For Bill the decade was one of getting into the box of academic art training. Once securely in-side the box, will there be a portal to get out if the games get too rough?Being in the box of academia was like escape games, where one seeks clues and deciphers them to escape. This volume sets the stage for Bill and Lynda’s next event-filled decade.
