Mr.Badmington, I was truly amazed and inspired by your story. I found it very interesting that for so many years you were dependent on the Masker to help you communicate. What made you decide that you wanted to try a different approach and was it all of a sudden or did it take you months/years to convert? Was there any times that you fell back on the Masker for help? I know if I was dependent on something that long it would be very hard to do what you did, because I am not good with change. You are right, technology is a wonderful resource but sometimes it does hinder communication. I am glad that you took the challenge and overcame your fears.
