Life, laughter and the odd blue – Peter Richard Mitchell AM: Reminiscences and Recollections

Project Brief

Denied the opportunity for a proper funeral due to COVID lockdown restrictions of the time, Pete’s wife, Joc, “invited family members, friends, business connections and others who had been associated with Pete throughout his life to contribute letters, tributes, photographs and recollections” from which this memoir was produced. It was my role to bring the many contributions together as a narrated memoir.

From the Client

Joc Mitchell

“We were thrilled to get it and really thrilled with it:

• The letters have caused huge hilarity

• There has been nothing but extremely positive feedback

• Peter would be gobsmacked to see it and to know what people thought of him and what they have written. He was a very humble man. He had no tickets on himself whatsoever.

• The grandchildren are thrilled to have it

• Thanks to Simon there is this book, and it is extremely well done. I am delighted to have it and to be able to give copies to family and close friends.

A few people have already shown interest in having something put together and I have told them how wonderful and patient you are to work with. I highly recommended you so I would not be surprised if some work comes your way.”
