Hello Gina,
First off Gina. I certainly wish I had your creativity and ability to write. I would have one of the best grades in my class!! Your message was some of Happiness, and yet some of Sadness, and then your typical silliness. It also, got me to get a little teary eyed. But, that message was very powerful. Like a sledgehammer hitting you. Now, I have never stuttered. I am probably lucky I never did. But, to hear people stutter is kind of sad. You feel deeply sorry for them and there troubles. I think it would have to be a shared expirience for us all to understand the hardships of it. I am grateful you have basically overcome it Gina, and for the rest of you, I hope you can overcome it also. One thing that is still pretty sad though is, now that I am in High School (only 14 years old) still a lot of kids here in America, are clueless to who Scatman is, and then some are as obsessed as the typical Scatman fan. But they tell me they know nothing about him, they want to find out more about him, etc. I always feel honored to say, "go to www.scatmanjohn.com, it is the greatest site, full of endless information!" I just wish i could say it to everyone. I also bring my CD player to school everyday, loaded with a great Scatman CD, and whoever doesn't know who he is get's the headphones on and hears it! Gina, ever since i found out about you back in February (I think), you have been a great inspiration, and helpful. You are a very outgoing lady who is promised a good adult life. You are willing to help anyone under any circumstance! And John was right about everything he said to you was of only the truth. Now, keep his soul living! And keep up the great work with the Stuttering Community. One of these days I will attend a meeting, and hopefully see one of you there. Have a great day everyone! Good Bye!
