Dear Woody,
Reading your story was like seeing my life played back in front of my eyes. I have lived most every step of your paper. I wish I could have found you thirty years ago. As a covert stutterer I just wanted to say that you definitely know what you are talking about. I learned all this the hard way and am still trying to recover. My avoidance became to bad I stopped living all together. I kept my life all to myself. What a terrible way to live. Thanks to all of you for helping me get back on track.
When I look back on all the years I let slip through my fingers it dose make me sad. Finding the NSA and The Stuttering Home Page and all of the other very special people I have met at the two conventions I have attended help me realize something that a friend ends all her emails with, a quote from George Elliot, “ It’s never to late to be the person you could have been.”
Have you ever heard anyone say, if I can help one person it will be worth the cost? Well you have helped me, and enriched my life.
