 So for Mrs Pettitt to have discharged all three responsibilities (orchestra director, dramatic director, singing director) for such a long period of time is a singular and extraordinary achievement.Thirty two years after the founding of Chaminade, the "Taunton Daily Gazette" wrote that "Long before Sarah Caldwell in Boston or New York's Beverly Sills directed opera companies, there was Louise Pettitt in Attleboro" ("Taunton Daily Gazette", Sat Feb 23, 1991, by Nancy C Doyle ).This praise was half right.
