Ronnie Virgets Papers RONNIE VIRGETS PAPERS 6 Linear Feet Special Collections & Archives Loyola University Library Collection 30 RONNIE VIRGETS PAPERS Ronnie Virgets is the quintessential "New Orleans original" - a native with the ability to see, appreciate and poke gentle fun at the quirky qualities that embody the Crescent City. For decades, he has, with well-chosen words and a distinctive voice. evoked images ofhis hometown to inspire new appreciations offamiliar surroundings. His columns and scripts present glimpses ofhis boyhood in Mid-City New Orleans where he was born at Mercy Hospital on April 16, 1942 and attended Catholic schools. While a student at Sl Aloysius High School, he was encouraged by a teacher to develop his writing talents and after high school graduation in 1961 to enroll as a Jownalism student at Loyola University. His first column, "00 the Virg," was published in the Maroon and with other Loyola students. he worked as a "stringer" at the Times-Picayune. He was graduated from Loyola in 1965. After a 1965-1968 U.S. Army tour which took him to Vietnam, Virgets returned to New Orleans and a variety ofjobs, including owning a pool hall. tending bar and working at a small public relations finn. In the mid-70s he returned to journalism, covering sports for the Times-Picayune and eventually writing free-lance sports features. As a child, VirgelS was introduced by his family to the world ofhorse racing and remembers his first visit to the stables where he "even liked the way it smelled," so he was particularly suited to become a columnist for the Racing Form. For three years he covered the racing circuit from the Fair Grounds, Louisiana Downs and Keystone Park, near Philadelphia And, when he returned to New Orleans, he continued to write about the track in "Railbird Ronnie," a freelance column for the Times-Picayune. As a full-time staffmember at the newspaper, he wrote features for Dixie Roto and finally, a metro column. The transition to television took place when WWL-TV's Bill Elder invited Virgets to produce features for his weekly show "Bill Elderts Joumal,t' and the New Orleans equivalent ofa star was born. His voice, both rough and soothing, became familiar, and his written words combined with the best oftelevision photography delighted viewers. In the years since, WGNO, WDSU and WYES have also aired his New Orleans vignettes. Radio listeners, too, have been entertained by Virgets as bost of WWNO's "Crescent City." Even as VirgelS entered the realm ofbroadcast media. he continued his print career, writing a column which still appears hiweekly in Gambit. His books, Say Cap puhlished in 1997 and Lost Bread published in 2006, are compilations offavorite columns. "Diary ofa Displaced. Person: The First 72 Hours," his hurricane Katrina survival story, originally published in Louisiana Cultural Vistas, was an addendum to Say Cap. During his long, varied career, Virgets has been the recipient ofseveral writing awards. In 2002, he was honored by the Press Club ofNew Orleans with a Lifetime Achievement Award. 2 THE COLLECTION The Ronnie Virgets papers contain all existing samples ofhis work in print, television and radio dating from the mid-1980s.
