Walt, I have known you for some years, and I don't remember having heard the story about your probably having avoided Vietnam because you stuttered. That could be due to my fading memory skills, but be that as it may, your lack of fluency when you had those reading tests for entry into the military couldn't have occurred at a better time in your life! I appreciate the way you put into words the fact that your changing your perspective about your stuttering really made a difference in your ability to manage it more effectively. This is a great story to share with clients and a good life lesson for all of us, no matter what our personal issues may be. Thanks so much, Lynne
