Hi Russ- Thanks for a wonderful essay. I well remember first meeting you at the NSP Convention in Denver in 1996. That day during the general session, you had given an award winning speech from Toastmasters. I had recently joined Graybar Toastmasters in New York City, where I live, and was greatly inspired seeing you up there. A year or two later we spoke about the issue of our stutter being a gift. It took time, but eventually I came around to agreeing with this point of view. It is so true, that a person never knows who is affected when he/she faces a difficult life issue. thanks, Jeff Shames
