Shelley, Thanks for the feedback. One of the things I love about the National Stuttering Association is that there are many, many positive role models. Lee Reeves and Russ Hicks, both in the NSA are high on my list of role models - Lee for his charisma and how he presents himself, and Russ for his enthusiasm and attitude that nothing will get in his way. Regarding more public role models, some names who come to mind are: Joe Biden, Bill Walton, and Jack Welch (former CEO of GE). There are many others - but I do wish there were more publically visible role models of people who openly stutter. Perhaps other people could add to the list of role models. Thanks, John
