Hi, I am a student at the University of South Alabama. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your paper. It really opened my eyes. I definitely have a better understanding of the feelings and attitudes of covert stutterers. Fluency seems so everyday to me. I can only imagine having to hide something day in and day out for 30-40 years and still today. Especially hiding something as important as communication is. I realize now why you and other covert stutterers would feel stressed out. It would take a lot of energy avoiding and circumlocuting every day, all day long to prevent stuttering from happening. I am glad you ended on a positive note and have a positive outlook. Thanks,

Courtney Fortner
