Dear Mr. And Mrs. Ingham,

You're paper was extremely informative, but I have a few questions. From my current graduate stuttering course, I understand there is a great emphasis on the genetics and family history of stuttering. I was wondering if there have been any studies conducted like yours, of non-stutterers who have parents who stutter; how do they compare to your study? Also, I wondered why the fMRI was not used initially in your study? I assume it is just not as readily available? Have the preliminary results of your pilot work with the fMRI supported your findings with the PET results?

Thanks for a great paper! Karen Winter
