Joe Ritchie's Early Life

Joe Ritchie is one of the kinds of guys we deal with from time to time on this show. He's famous enough that we have pretty good texture on his early life, but he's obscure enough that there's also a lot of unanswered questions. If you read enough biography, really have one biography of Joe Ritchie and pretty much all of my info about his early life comes from the book Duck in a Raincoat by Mara Curly.
