How intersting that you commented about your blindness. I went to the NSA conference in NJ this June and met a wonderful woman from New Zealand. She was attending her first conference, and actually spoke at the Covert Panelist's workshop. She too is blind, and also shared with many of us that she also finds her stuttering to be more of a challenge than her blindness. So to hear someone else express the exact same thought, it makes me really consider how complex stuttering really it is. This gal is very covert, and tries to keep her stuttering hidden, having stated that she finds the stuttering more shameful. In any event, I greatly admired her tenacity to traverl from NZ to NYC to attend a stuttering conference. Thank you for sharing a personal piece of you as well. --Pam
