Hi Cathy (or should I call you Anne?) :-), Thank you for sharing your story. It took a great deal of courage for you to reveal all on such a public forum. For the majority of my life, stuttering was my ‘darkest secret’. Others obviously knew that I had difficulties, but the subject was rarely discussed. During recent years, I have adopted a policy of complete openness. My extensive programme of community talks (in which I recount how stuttering has impacted upon my life), together with media involvement, result in people stopping me in the street to chat about my experiences. It has had a huge desensitizing effect. I fully appreciate (and respect the fact that) we are all different. The world would be a boring place if we all did the same thing. :-) Cathy, I wish you every success in life, whatever path you decide to follow. We haven’t corresponded for quite a while –we must rectify that when an opportunity presents itself. Kindest regards Alan
