GG Pichler

Laura Pichler kept books for fifty years and treats the cube as one more ledger to be balanced exactly. Ask about a pass and she has it: the score, the position, the reasoning, delivered in the clean language of debits and credits and correct almost every time. Ask about a take and there is a pause, and then a pleasant change of subject, because the takes have simply not been filed. She has passed wrongly perhaps four times in twenty years and can name none of those either. A bad roll is an entry that will be corrected next quarter. The only real pleasure anybody hears in her voice arrives when she has just dropped one.
