Hi Brandi,

Humour (or humor if you are from the USA) has always played an important part in my life - hence the article being written in such a light-hearted vein. I frequently used it to defuse difficult situations involving my speech. Despite the immense heartache I suffered for more than half a century, I now find that I am able to look back and laugh at some of the incidents involving my stutter.

Stuttering is greatly misunderstood within the community (even within one's own family) and there is a need to create a far greater public awareness. I feel that persons who stutter can do a great deal to educate others - we cannot place that responsibilty soley upon the shoulders of such organisations as the British Stammering Association and the National Stuttering Association (in the US).

Thank you for your contribution.

Kindest regards

Alan Badmington
